BLACK TANK FLUSH (Optional) | Drain Systems Cleaning |
The trailer has a water hose connector marked “black tank flush”. To use, hook up a hose and turn on full force. Within the tank a spray head with a multiple holed head will spray the interior surface of the tank. The vacuum breaker and check valve will be located inside the trailer above the exterior connection. In most models this will place them under the lavatory.
The gate valve should be closed for the first couple of minutes, and then opened to let the water out in a rush. Repeat as needed.
When Parked and Connected to Sewer Outlet
When you are in a park and connected to a sewer outlet keep the main holding tank dump valve closed, and empty the tank every few days or whenever it becomes almost full. ONLY BY SENDING A LARGE VOLUME OF LIQUID THROUGH THE MAIN HOLDING TANK AT A TIME WILL TOILET PAPER AND OTHER SOLIDS COMPLETELY WASH AWAY.
This practice will avoid the accumulation of solids in the main holding tank, which could lead to an unpleasant cleaning job. Should solids accumulate, close the dump valve; fill the tank about half full with water, then tow the trailer for a few miles. The turbulence and surging of the water will usually dissolve the solids into suspension so the tank can be drained. Keep the auxiliary tank valve open when connected to a sewer outlet.
Draining the tanks as described will protect them from freezing during storage. When traveling in
The only cleaning agents that can be used without causing harm to the system are household ammonia and
