### **How to Install OGO™ Charcoal Filter Pucks in the ORIGIN Compost Toilet**

This quick video walks through two easy ways to install [OGO™ Charcoal Filter Pucks](https://ogotoilet.com/products/charcoal-filter-1pk) in your [OGO™ ORIGIN Compost Toilet.](https://ogotoilet.com/products/products-ogo-composting-toilet)

1. **From the Inside (Fan Housing Method)**  
   Unplug the unit, open the bowl, and lift out the fan housing. Drop up to three pucks into the vent bar. Good for full access, but may reduce airflow.
2. **From the Outside (Preferred Method)**  
   Keep the bowl sealed. Simply slide a puck into the vent opening from the outside. Add more if needed. Easier to change and manage long-term.

Charcoal pucks are effective for odor control, but can slightly restrict airflow. If needed, upgrade with our [High CFM Fan Kit](https://ogotoilet.com/products/high-cfm-fan) for better ventilation.
