When both tanks are empty, flush them with a freshwater rinse before you close
the valves. The gray tank is easily flushed by pouring a couple of gallons of water
into a sink drain. The drain outlet is engineered for quick release of the drain hose
adapter. Always close the gate valves and secure the end cap to prevent leakage
while in transit. After draining the black water tank, it is recommended to add a
holding tank deodorant (such as Thetford Aqua- Kem) to help control the odor and
break down the solids. Follow the instructions given on the holding tank deodorant
package.
When using dump stations for draining the holding tanks, keep other travelers in
mind. Practice good housekeeping. Leave the dump stations in good order. Above
all, do not pollute.
WARNING
Holding tanks are an enclosed sewer system and must be drained into an improved
dump station. Both black and gray water holding tanks must be drained and rinsed
thoroughly on a regular basis in order to prevent the accumulation of harmful or
toxic materials.
Camping with Sewer Hook-Up
When camping at parks with sewer hook-ups, it is always important to keep the
black water holding tank gate valve closed , except when dumping. The gray tank
can be kept open while hooked to a sewer connection but, the black water must be
kept closed. This is done so that an ample supply of liquid remains in the tank to
provide a smooth flow through the gate and drain valve when dumping. Enough
liquid in the tank causes a swirling action that should take any accumulated solid
wastes with it. Accumulation of solid wastes in the black water tank can be
avoided by keeping the gate valve closed when connected to the sewer hook-up. If
an inadvertent accumulation of solid wastes should happen, fill the tank about half
full and drive around for a few miles to dislodge the solids, then pump as usual.
CAUTION
Do not use the same hose for the waste disposal that is used for filling the
freshwater tank.
