Installed Around 1997
Centrex-NE (Current Equivalent Centrex 1000 NE)
Installed at Hardy Bay Club, Cottage community near Noelville, Ontario,
Canada
(Letter from Mr. Dunbar, 2002 - the bolds are ours, the words are
theirs)
The Hardy Bay Club is located on an island in the French River
in central Ontario. It has no hydro-electric power and is essentially
a large tree covered rock. There are at present fourteen cabins
that are owned by members, five guest cabins and a main lodge. The
members cabins are in most cases approximately 400 square feet (a
restriction imposed due to the size of the island mostly). We relied
for many years on a central washroom and shower facility with holding
tanks that required frequent pump outs.
The man on the left in the photograph is Mike Doherty, a past president
of the club, and it was he that brought a video of your product
to our annual general meeting. He is also the most recent member
to purchase a composting toilet for the cabin which he and his wife
Linda inherited after the passing of her mother. His prior cabin
is now being used by their children. Mike and I (the other man in
the photo) installed it this spring with some assistance from Mike's
friend as I had recently had shoulder surgery and was mostly in
advisory capacity. I was the first to install a Centrex NE 1000
in our cabin about five years ago. My wife and I did the installation
ourselves - it is that easy.
The number of units on the island has now reached seven NE 1000
and two of the larger industrial or commercial units (I do not recall
the model number or name) at the central washroom and shower facilities.
The water from the showers and sinks is handled by a small septic
field.
These units have eliminated the need for expensive and potentially
damaging - environmentally speaking - pump outs from the old holding
tanks (which we have removed from the island). The other photo is
of my composting unit under the edge of our cabin. All the units
use the low-water flush toilets as seen in the first photo.
We, as a group, are extremely satisfied with the performance and
simplicity of these units. The benefits to the environment are well
worth the cost. I would recommend this product to anyone with a
cabin, cottage, or camp that has a problem with installing a proper
septic field or has no electricity (although electric models are
available). This product eliminates the need for a septic field.
When I empty my drum I just add the composted material to our vegetable
compost pile for further decomposition.
Thank you from all of us for a wonderful product that really works!!
Regards John Dunbar
