I personally am a good example here today. CHECK THOSE WATER CONNECTIONS periodically! The line that goes on my black tank Quickie Flush popped off today where the hoseclamp holds it on. When I installed it it was tight! Water was running in my basement unregulated for maybe two minutes at the most and probably a minuted. I heard it pop and ran to the water connection and shut off the water totally to the flusher.
I figure maybe 2-4 gal of water at most as it all happenned so fast. Even so I'll have to drop the belly pan and make sure all; the water is gone and replace the R-11 insulation bats I had put down there as I am sure they got wet. I drilled some holes in the plastic belly pan at the lowest points to be sure all water than could, would drain out. Doesn't look like any major damage at this point.
Bottom line here? I waited too long to recheck my water ffittings and make sure they were tight! Check them often and make it routine., It will save you alot of greif and time!
