Section 8: Plumbing System
Sewage (black) tank preparation
1. Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Follow the directions on your RV-approved toilet chemical bottle (customer supplied)
and put the recommended quantity of holding tank chemical into the toilet bowl.
3.
Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters) of water to flow into the holding
tank.
Waste (grey) holding tank preparation
No special preparation is required, however, placing a small quantity of chemicals into this
tank, such as baking soda or an approved RV chemical, will reduce odors from food particles
in the system.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation and operational efficiency.
Use only RV approved chemicals. Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or caustic chemicals,
such as laundry bleach or drain opening types, in the toilet system. These products damage
the seals in toilets and dump valves.
It is important to add enough water to prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the
directions listed below and in the manufacturer’s operator manual.
Tank Heaters (if so equipped)
Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with heaters for the fresh, gray, black water tanks
and the water lines or drain lines. The larger tank heaters are 120VAC and attach directly to
the tanks. Water line or drain line heaters are smaller and operate on +12VDC and will be
attached to the water lines or drain lines. These heaters will prevent water in the tanks and
lines from freezing down to -11°F (-24°C) (contingent on recreation vehicle setup).
The tank heaters are thermostat controlled and will cycle on and off while they are operating.
The +12VDC heaters stay on constantly. The thermostat controlled tank heaters turn ON at
44°F (7°C) and will turn OFF at 64°F (18°C). All of the heaters are controlled by a single
ON/OFF switch.
Typically, this red tank heater ON/OFF switch is located on the command center panel or in
the bathroom. The switch lights up red when it is turned ON and controls the heater circuit.
In order for the 120VAC tank heaters to be in operation, the recreation
vehicle
MUST
be hooked up to shore power or under generator power.
If the recreation vehicle is not operating on shore power or generator
power,
only the +12VDC heaters will operate. This can result in the
tanks freezing.
The red light on the command center tank switch does not necessarily
indicate that
ALL
heaters are operating; it is a only a warning that the
heater circuit is ON.
