The black tank flush is also called a “no fuss
flush.” The fresh water from the garden hose
goes directly into the black water holding tank
where there is a “sprayer” connection located.
This allows you to clean the black water
holding tank by removing debris and
preventing accumulation. There is a check
valve incorporated in the plumbing lines to
prevent back flow. Flush the black water tank
each time the grey and black water holding
tanks are dumped or as needed:
1. Dump the black water tank and leave the
black tank drain valve open.
2. Connect a garden hose from the water
supply source to the “black tank flush.”
3. With the water source turned ON, flush
the black water holding tank until the
water running out of the black tank drain
valve is clear (not discolored or cloudy).
4. Disconnect the garden hose and close the
“black tank drain” valve. Fasten the sewer
hose housing dust cap back on the “black
tank flush.”

OILET
The toilet is efficient and easy to operate.
Generally, more water is required only when
flushing solids. Prior to using the sanitation
system, it is strongly recommended to flush
the toilet several times to release sufficient
water into the holding tank. If there is not a
sufficient amount of water used during
flushing, the waste materials may not
evacuate properly from the drain line to the
tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could
eventually occur.
The toilet system will perform better when
water is run for ten to fifteen seconds after
flushing to ensure that the waste will proceed
to the bottom of the tank. Unlike a toilet in a
home, which uses four to seven gallons (18 -
32 liters) of water per flush, the average
recreation vehicle system uses one to three
quarts (1 - 3 liters). For added convenience
and better sanitation system performance, it is
advisable to always have four to six inches
(10 - 15 cm) of water in the toilet.
To prevent help toilet blockage, always use
RV grade single-ply toilet paper. Do not flush
paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or
other foreign objects down the RV toilet.
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 toilet
chemical bottle (customer supplied), by
placing the recommended quantity of
holding tank chemical into the toilet bowl.
Do not use the same hose to fill your fresh
(potable) water tank that is used for the
black tank flush.
The black tank drain valve must be OPEN
any time there is a hose (water supply)
connected to the black tank flush.
Do not leave any hose (water supply)
connected to the black tank flush when it is
not in use.
It is important to prevent solid waste
buildup. Follow the toilet manufacturer’s
recommended instructions each time after
emptying the black water holding tank.
