Trek Owner’s Manual
5 ~ 68
The "grey water" tank is used to hold waste water from the galley sink and shower. Those
drains should not be used to dispose of solid waste, although small amounts of food or
similar debris will not harm the system. You should not use the drains to dispose of any
caustic or corrosive liquids.
WARNING: Do not dispose of any petroleum products, ammonia, alcohol, or ace-
tone through your drains. These liquids may harm the tank, valve
parts, tank fittings or drain hoses.
It is a good idea to use a grease-cutting soap in your galley sink. This will help prevent
grease build-up in the grey water tank, and will also help to keep the sensor probes clean.
A build-up on the sensor probes could cause the tank monitor to read improperly.
The "black water" or solid wastes tank stores the output of the toilet and bathroom sink.
It has a larger drain and is located closer to the dump valve to facilitate dumping solid
waste. A certain amount of liquid must be in the black water tank for it to drain properly.
That is why water from the bathroom sink has been designed to drain into it. Never
introduce anything into the system that will not dissolve and could prevent the black
water tank from draining.
The tank levels can be viewed using the Coach Monitor Panel. Check the levels frequently
to avoid an overflowing tank. Monitor readings can be altered by the chemical contents of
the tanks, movement, or the coach not being level.
WARNING: Never dispose of standard household facial tissue or toilet paper
through your toilet. They are often dyed, embossed or otherwise treat-
ed and will not dissolve. Always use soluble RV tissue available from
most RV supply stores.
Odor Control
Odor can be a problem with your tanks. Be sure to clean your tanks regularly and use an
approved tank deodorizer to help keep odors under control.
Before each trip, and after draining, add approximately one gallon of water to your black
water tank through the toilet. The water helps liquify any remaining solids and reduces
odor build-up. Then flush an approved chemical solution or liquid tank deodorant into the
tank. These products are available at most RV supply stores.
