Rv Black Tank How Does The Rinse Work
Remove the cap from the Drain pipe by twisting (most likely counter clockwise). and attach the sewer hose by twisting the channels around the protruding plastic pins on the pipe.
Slide the other end of the pipe into the sewage connection in the ground or into your portable tank (this connection does not lock in but rather slips).
Some may have the locking channels on both ends for different types of connections, some amount of analyzing may need to be done to make sure that you have the proper fittings for your particular situation.
Try to make sure that the hose drops elevation from your RV to your destination (becomes lower).
It is also a good Idea to support your hose so that it has good downhill flow. There are products sold for this but I have found that a board works just fine, and it was free.
Pull your sewage valve open and let it drain for a few minutes. I usually let mine go until I can't hear water flowing through it.
Close the valve. If you are connected to a sanitary sewer line (!!! NOT A STORM SEWER !!!) then proceed to the next step but if you are using a tank like I am then I have added some extra steps at the end of this intractable for how I dump the portable tank.
Rv Black Tank How Does The Rinse Work On Clothes
Apr 07, 2016 Can I get rid of black water when I’m camping off the cord or boondocking? Black water is not only foul, it’s filled with dangerous bacteria that can spread disease. Only use an RV dump station to empty your black water tank. Can I dump gray water anywhere I want? Black and Gray tank sensors will work for a while but eventually give inaccurate readings depending on the sensor type and the tank design. The black tank can be maintained if you keep the tank clean with an internal tank flush, the RV black tank cleaning wand, or even filling and emptying the tank with fresh water a few times. Some people leave the gray tank valve open outside of the RV and let it drain continuously. This is a mistake. Flushing the gray tank after the black tank helps flush any solids stuck in your sewer hose. If you keep this valve open, you will not have that extra water to flush out the sewer hose after the black tank.
