All Ecoflo systems use low-wattage ventilation systems to draw toilet odours down the pedestal, through the composting chambers, and out an external vent pipe above your dwelling, leaving your toilet room completely odourless – no need for deodorizers!

If you find that the waste smell is overpowering or getting a little too strong it’s worth noting that all exhaust vents should be at least 600ml above the roof of your dwelling so the first place to start is to double-check the height of your exhaust pipe.

If your pipe is the regulation height you can extend the pipe to enable smells to reach a higher altitude before escaping into the atmosphere. This can be a particularly handy tip if you live in an area where there’s little natural airflow (like a gully for example).

We need to keep those ventilation pipes free from obstruction to maintain the airflow.

Build up in ventilation pipes can be caused by many different reasons:

• Condensation can pool in horizontal pipes
• Particles can be sucked into the housing for the fan over time
• Spiders and mud wasps can build webs and nests if the vent cap isn’t secured
