Envirolet®/SG Waterless Remote Winter Use

IMPORTANT

Your Envirolet®/SG Waterless Remote 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 Remote System if operated during winter, freezing or cold weather:

During periodic winter use, the structure (“winter box,” crawl space, basement, etc.) that houses the composting unit of the

Envirolet®/SG Waterless Remote 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.

Inside structure, position Envirolet®/SG compost unit on top of rubber mat or sheet of Styrofoam insulation to prevent ground

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

The composting unit (tank) can be left exposed under your structure without damage, however it is recommended for added

protection that you cover any outside exposed components with a plastic sheet or equivalent to keep dry from snow, ice and

water. This is highly recommended for DC and AC electric models to protect electrical components. Housing the unit in a “winter

box” (a simple plywood box that is insulated with Styrofoam sheets) is an ideal solution.

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

unit 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 flex and rigid vent components (e.g., flex vent pipe, rigid vent pipe).

Keep roof vent and Wind Turbine Ventilator 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 Remote 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.
