you must add at least 1 quart to 1 gallon of water daily. If water is not added daily, the unit will start to dry out and will need to be started-up again with water & digester powder.
General Information about the Doggie Dooley Systems
These units do not work as effectively in soils with heavy clay content. To check for proper drainage, 5 gallons of water poured in the hole after digging should drain completely with in 48 hours in order for the unit to work properly.
The manufacturer recommends using Dooley Waste Terminator (digester powder) with all units, especially if dogs are fed a highly digestible food such as Iams, Science Diet, or Eukanuba, or other premium foods.
Too much chlorine in your water can stop or slow digestive action. Leaving a pail of water in the sun will evaporate the chlorine. This could take from 1-2 hours, or up to an entire day if the chlorine level is very high.
Digestive action will start at 40°F and increases as the temperature rises. When temperatures drop below 40°F you will want to discontinue use of the unit. When it warms up again, simply re-start the unit as in the beginning (adding water, stool, and digester powder).
Select a site for unit away from your house, tree roots, the path of your lawn mower, and an area of your yard where there is never standing water. Try to locate an area with minimum clay content and check for proper drainage first.
