Envirolet®/SG System Winter Use

Envirolet®/SG Systems can be used in winter applications as long as certain precautions are taken to ensure

for proper performance. Each system type has some specific requirements. Read the information for your

system type.

Need Help?

It is important that your system is properly winterized for proper performance. Please be sure to contact Sancor for additional

information or support for the winter operation of your Envirolet®/SG System.

Envirolet®/SG Waterless Self-Contained Winter Use

IMPORTANT

Your Envirolet®/SG Waterless Self-Contained System can be used during winter, cold or freezing conditions. It does not use water to

flush and therefore less precaution (compared to water flush models) must be taken before using in winter due to concerns with

freezing. However, following some simple winterizing recommendations will assist you in overall better performance, operation and

protection during cold weather use.

WINTER USE REQUIREMENTS

The following is required for your Envirolet®/SG Waterless Self-Contained System if operated during winter, freezing or cold weather:

• During periodic winter use, the structure (bathroom, “outhouse,” work shop, garage, basement, etc.) that houses the

Envirolet®/SG Waterless Self-Contained System should be well insulated. Heating the structure is not normally required

but is recommended if possible.

• If you do intend to use your system for extended lengths of time in the winter or at temperatures below freezing (-

0°C/32°F) or close to below freezing, please ensure that all components are heated, well insulated, kept dry and

protected to prevent freezing and prolong the composting process.

• The Envirolet®/SG System should be left, protected from the elements, inside a structure (all seasons). Inside structure,

position Envirolet®/SG System on top of floor rug, rubber mat or sheet of Styrofoam insulation to prevent ground heat

transfer (i.e., heat from System to cold floor).

• The ½” drain line (standard on Non-Electric and 12VDC models) that connects the Envirolet®/SG Waterless Self-

Contained System to your acceptable drain site (e.g., leaching pit) should be well insulated, buried and protected to

prevent freezing. If this line is able to freeze it will not drain so care must be taken prevent this.

• Insulate all vent components. This includes inside vent pipe.

• Keep roof vent and Wind Turbine Ventilator (or Rain Cap) free of ice and snow to allow for proper air-flow and to prevent

snow, ice or water entering system via opening.

Composting Unit Note:

The Envirolet®/SG Waterless Self-Contained System compost unit will not be damaged if left unheated over winter during non-use. It

is made from durable polyethylene plastic and will not crack or break and comes with a Lifetime Warranty.

WARNING!

Do not add anti-freeze or any other chemicals to prevent freezing. This will harm the composting process and require complete

system clean out and re-start.
