If your sensors aren’t working or reading incorrectly you can just buy a water flow meter to know how many gallons were put into your tank when flushing.

Good stuff and thanks for sharing Todd. Good pointer on giving it a few flushes to ensure everything comes out and dropping that chemical tablet at the end! Thank you Sir!

Inside the tank, include a high pressure hose system on all 4 sides of the tank, ideally placed on the upper inner sides. This system sprays anti bacterial liquid inside the tank and the solution is feed from a separate tank. This will prevent any sensors giving a inaccurate reading of waste level while keeping the tank hygienic and clean

Could I spray it in there from a component like a pressure washer or something? Not sure what my tank has.
@GreatAmericanRV

They make attachments for the hose that you can use to spray from the toilet if you don't have a black tank flush. I wouldn't use a pressure washer. -Todd

I have it parked and hooked up to my house (water, electric, and septic) with someone living long term in the camper. Do you have any tips for me? For instance, since I have plenty of water available someone said I really don't need to worry about what toilet paper I use as long as the toilet is flushed several times after use.

Nothing changes still need to follow all of the same directions. If the tank was eliminated and the toilet was hard piped to your sewer, that would be a different story. -Todd

To deep clean my black tank, i’ve don’t it while traveling to my next stop. First I empty the black tank, (then gray). I fill the black tank about half full and drop some extra strength tank cleaner enzymes in it then a bag of Ice right before I head out. The ice acts as a scrubber to get gunk off the sides as I’m driving and sloshing it around, then empty the tank when I get to my destination.

If we are close to a bathhouse that’s what we do lol. It just ensures your black tank doesn’t get any built up solids. Nice and easy to keep clean! Our new camper has an exterior hose port for a black tank flush, so would make it less of a concern, but we try to keep it liquids only.

How do you do get the water from the hook up to the black tank? I have a 2003 21C hybrid and the only water going to the black tank is the toilet water when flushing? Do i just put the hose down the toilet?

@@jesserobertson6383 yes if you don’t have a an actual black tank flush connection you would be best to purchase a black tank wand to flush your tank. Copy the link below to your browser or google “black tank flush wand”. -Todd a.co/d/7m6HFzX

I dont any of those black tank chemicals. They make the stuff in the black tank turn into a paste or slurry. It becomes sticky and clogs over time especially on seasonal campers. I use calgon bath pearls and pine sol. Bath pearls make everything slick so nothings sticks . Pine sol makes it smell good and disinfectant. Pine sol has over 100 uses for it.

Thank you! That makes so much sense! I have a concern if u will...🤔👏 My rigs ranks weren't cleaned out at all so will the Calgon help or shud I blast them 1st? Thanks again very 😎
@pineychristian
@pineychristian Месяц назад
@tammysmith7480 if you are going to have your tanks cleaned wait to use the tank treatment. The mixture is 40oz of pine-sol with 8oz of calgon bath pearls in a 1 gal container. Then you fill the rest of that gal with water. Shake up good. Use 8oz to 16oz per tank. Add 1gal to 2 gals of straight water after mixture in each tank if your rig is moved from campground to campground. If it's seasonal then just mixture per tank treatment. The ideal is if you tow/ drive your rig down road the treatment will slosh around inside the tank and coat everything to make it slick and smell good.
