OPERATION
Q. How is Sr different from a composting toilet?
A. The Sr model uses propane to incinerate all the waste in a few minutes. With a composting toilet, it will take several months for it to decompose.
Q. How does the incineration process work?
A. An auger moves the waste into a special burn chamber that is located in the rear of the toilet. A burner then incinerates the waste into a very small amount of sterile ash.
Q. Can the toilet be used during its incineration process?
A. Yes, this is one of the unique functions of the Sr. If the toilet lid is being lifted up, it will automatically stop the auger to move and shut down the incineration process. This is one of the safety functions that this model has and contributes to a completely safe and reliable incinerating toilet.
Q. How long does a burn cycle take?
A. A short burn cycle (liquid waste) takes about 5-10 minutes, and a long burn cycle (waste) takes approximately 25-30 minutes.
Q. Does it operate in colder climate?
A. Absolutely, we are proud to say that the ECOJOHN™ Sr works excellent in colder climate. Since its patented technology incinerates the waste in a burn chamber, there is no risk of freeze ups or malfunctioning in colder climates.
Q. Is there any unpleasant odor?
A. No. The burning process operates on very high temperatures, which eliminate any bad septic odor. As an option, one can also purchase a special catalytic converter that cleans the outgoing air. With the catalytic converter, a chimney fan is also included, which ensures a good airflow and that no air is coming back to the restroom.
Q. Is it safe?
A. Yes. Several testing agencies have tested have tested this product immensely to ensure a completely safe product. The toilet is equipped with several safety devices to ensure a completely safe product.

Q. How often do I need to clean out the ashes?
A. The ECOJOHN™ Sr is extremely efficient and requires very low maintenance. On average usage (in a 3-4 people household), the chamber needs to be cleaned out 1-2 times every six months.
Q. Is it difficult to emptying the ashes?
