Separera Mini with Urine Extraction
This urine separating toilet is constructed from eco-friendly material and is designed to cope with high demand over many years.
What does separating waste mean? Well, the toilet is designed so solid waste is separated from the liquid (urine). This means that the
Separera Mini has two containers, one for urine and another for solid waste.
Both must be dealt with in accordance with local regulations.

Installation
Tools
• Drill
• Holesaw for 55 and 35mm hole
• Silicone
Air supply
10 mm gap under the door or a vent. Air will be evacuated through the toilet,
so cross-draughts must be avoided.
Assembly
Ventilation can be either through an external wall or up through the roof.
Option A – ventilation through external wall
The toilet is supplied with an installation kit according to Option A.
1. Lift off the upper section (6) of the toilet, remove the urine
container (3).

4. Set the lower section in position and mark for fastening in the wall
and urine hose (35mm).
5. Make a hole for the urine hose, either throgh the wall or oor.
Through wall: up from oor c/c 25mm
Through oor: from wall c/c 40mm.
When the hose is installed through the wall make sure that you
have a slope of at least 2 degrees (2 cm per meter) to ensure
enough drain out from the toilet.

Maintenance
Solid waste
With normal use, a family of four produces around 7 litres of solid waste per week. The emptying frequency depends on usage. For
example, after 2-3 weeks use by 4 people it will be time to switch composting chambers.
Simply remove the top, tie up the bag, remove and replace it with a new bag.
If you would like to compost the waste and use as a fertiliser, we recommend emptying the waste into a separate external chamber,
adding a little bulking agent, and setting it aside in a shady place to complete composting (this make take around 6 months, depending
on conditions).
Electrical connection
Separera is approved for installation in wet rooms. For permanent installation, a qualied electrician must install a multi-pole switch. If
the mains supply cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or other qualied person.
General advice
• Flush the urine bowl with water weekly to reduce salt deposits.
• If insects get into the toilet, refer to our information on dealing with insects in our troubleshooting section on our website
(ecoo.com.au).
• To clean the toilet, use only mild detergent. Never use abrasive chemical cleaning agents.
• Empty the solid waste regularly, the bags start to decompose after 2-3 week.
• If you do experience a bad smell in the room, check that the pipe connections are properly sealed and there is an air supply.
Urine drainage
Urine can be drained away in a number of different ways. Check what is required by your local authority; there are variations
depending on ground conditions and the water table. There must be a drop in the hose coming out and away from the toilet to
avoid salt deposits; for longer distances, its better to connect it to a 32mm PVC pipe.
The urine hose can connect to an existing greywater drain, an external ltration, or an external collection bottle.
