A tool to clean the holding tank

Some of you guys go through an awful lot of trouble with your waste.

I just use the macerator as intended, then get back to RVing.

I added a 4" PVC cap that is drilled to slide on the pipe for a splash guard. Also added a washing machine hose and a faucet adapter to connect to the bath faucet.

Ditto, except I made mine out of some 1/2" copper pipe I had.

Too much rinsing doesn't make much sense to me, about all it does is put a heavier load on the septic system of the park.

You're erroneously presuming that 1) all parks feed into a septic system instead of a nearby city sewage system and 2) that everyone dumps at the campground, which I never do as I always service my tanks here at the house using my FloJet Waste Macerator. How much water I use, how much waste I generate, how much time I take is my business alone. :p

HUM^^^ never thought of that. Too much rinsing doesn't make much sense to me, about all it does is put a heavier load on the septic system of the park.

You don't use yours to carry extra fresh water? ;)

Hmmmmm - because we can? :W

Odd thing, while many complain of foul black tank odour I have none ... coincidence? ;)

You can buy a retail version called the Johnny Chock but I found it just as easy to make my own. :)
