A tool to clean the holding tank

BEST answer so far! :B

Had a buddy who used the same argument with his motorcycles - when it came time for an oil change he'd just buy a new bike instead. :W

I use a 3' piece of pvc, with a 90 and a cap at the end. Then I drilled several (5?) small holes in the cap. By rotating the pipe, the spray goes in different directions. I added a valve at the "clean" end of the pipe to shut off the water.

I did the same exact thing but drilled two 3/16" holes on the same side of the bottom fitting. The power from those little holes is amazing. I have my DW watch the level sensors and blast them clean.
Nothing cleans the tank like this method.

I like it! I'm SO stealing this idea to keep the footvalve open!

Extra green garden hose and tank wand. With good enough pressure, it will knock down even the stubborn uh,..."stuff".

Neighbors kid with a flashlight and snorkel? :R

I've got a variety of tank wands that all work well for the intended purpose and unlike trying to back flush the tank from the waste gate end a tank wand is the only method of effectively cleaning the toilet throat.





My FloJet Waste Macerator has a back flush feature but I can't remember the last time I used it - waste of time IMO so I've capped it off.
