Holding Tanks
The final part of your system are the holding tanks. They hold waste and are located below the floor
of your. Bath tub and sinks drain into the waste water tank, also referred to as the "gray" water
holding tank. The toilet drains into the sewage holding tank, also referred to as the waste holding
tank. Certain floor plans may also have the lavatory draining into the waste (sewage) tank.
USING TOILET AND TANK SYSTEM
NOTE: For added convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is advisable
to always have four to six inches of water in the toilet.
Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly recommended to flush the toilet several
times and release sufficient water into the tank. If there is not a sufficient amount of water
used during flushing, waste materials may not evacuate properly from the drain line to the
tank. A clogged tank and pipes could eventually occur. When camping you should always have
four to six inches (10-15 cm) of water in the toilet bowl. The toilet system will perform better when
water is run for ten to fifteen seconds after flushing to ensure wastes will proceed to the bottom of
the tank. Unlike your toilet at home which uses four to seven gallons (15 to 30 liters) per flush, the
average recreation vehicle system uses one to three quarts (1 to 3 liters). If there is not a sufficient
amount of water used during flushing, waste materials may not evacuate properly from drain line
to tank. Clogged tank and pipes could eventually occur.
When hooking up to the sewer drain line in a campground, keep the termination valve on the waste
tank CLOSED until tank is at least 3/4 full. This will provide sufficient water to assist in complete
draining of the tank. At this time, open the termination valve to empty the tank and close the valve
when the tank is empty. Repeat this process as needed, but NEVER leave the termination valve
open when hooked up to the park's sewer system.
SEWAGE TANK PREPARATION
1. Release one to two quarts (.95 to 1.89 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Following the directions on your toilet chemical bottle by placing the recommended quantity
of holding tank chemical into the bowl.
3. Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (7.57 liters) of water to flow into the tank.

CAUTION: It is important to add enough water to prevent solid waste build up. Follow
these directions each time after emptying your holding tank, except when winterizing.
