• The box has four chambers
• The bacteria decompose the waste with waste water being let out through an outlet, which then flows into the soak pit.
• The toilet has to be recharged with the bacteria on regular intervals.
• A gas vent provides passage for the gasses generated during decomposition to move out
• Toilet cleaner (provided by technology provider) has to be used every week in proportion of 20 gms for 1 litre to be applied on the pan.
