WASTE WATER SYSTEMS
Proper Waste Disposal
Dumping raw sewage from toilet holding tanks, except at authorized dumping stations, is universal-
ly prohibited. Most National, State and private parks have either a central dump facility or campsite
hook-up for sewage. Many modern rest areas along the interstate now have dump stations available.
Woodall's Campground Directory, Trailer Life's RV Campgrounds and Services Directory, Rand
McNally's Campground and Trailer Park Guide, Good Sam Park Director (Good Sam Club), and other
similar publications list dumping stations. Some major oil companies offer dump facilities at selected
stations.
What Not to Put in Waste Holding Tanks
• Do not use strong or full strength detergents to deodorize and disinfect. Use odor
control chemicals made especially for holding tanks.
• Automotive antifreeze, ammonia, alcohol or acetone in holding tanks will dissolve plastic.
• Do not put large table scraps in the tanks. They could stick in or damage the valve seals.
• Facial tissue is thicker, softer and stronger than a rapidly dissolving tissue. White toilet
paper dissolves faster than colored. Paper designed specifically for holding tanks is avail-
able at most RV supply stores.
TIP:
To test tissue dissolving ability, immerse one tissue square into a jar of water. Shake
the jar five times to determine if the tissue disintegrates into pieces or remains in one
piece. Do not use any type of tissue that remains in one piece.
NOTE:
Never dispose of sanitary supplies or other non-dissolving items into the system.
Facial tissue, wet strength tissue, paper towels or an excessive amount of toilet tissue
can create clogging in the holding tank system.
CAUTION:
Do not use any products that contain petroleum distillate or ammonia in place of
RV odor controlling chemicals. Petroleum distillate or ammonia will damage the ABS
plastic holding tanks and seals.
