With your free hand grab the handle, pull out the liquid tank and cap it.Open the top, aka the seat, and lift to a 45° angle.I would recommend purchasing a second liquid tank, you never know when you might need it (especially if you live on a boat and accidentally throw it overboard!).

The liquid container of our composting toilet holds 2.2 gallons, and trust me you don’t want to wait till it’s full to dump. Tip: Do not put a plastic bag inside the base, it will not work and isn’t necessary or helpful.

Put the toilet back together and its ready for use.

Pour the hydrated coco or moss until it levels out just under or at the agitator.

You can purchase Coco COIR at the hydroponic shop (also known as the grow your own mary jane shops in some towns), or you can order though our store. We scoured the internet, visited the local hardware store to see the size of the peat moss bags (its giant!), and desperately tried to locate some Coco COIR at 5 different garden shops.
