The most common cause of a Tecma not holding water, is, the Tecma tube/vent system is NOT above the lower P trap. If NOT above it will siphon direct into the tank. The Tecma PUMP has nothing to do with it. Doug
yes, but how is this anchored ?
this is a 2017 ? how long has the OP had it, how many miles ?
this tube vent, should not have moved ?
the vent tube for the black tank ? should be firmly anchored in the wall?
is it common for this to move, or this problem associated with new incorrect installs ?
sounds like a 'warranty' problem
the OP needs help, and im learning something new
but only if all the details to the situation are explained
1. Look at second number 29 in the Tecma link video THAT is the P trap vent. It is NOT always installed as you see it in the Video. IF it is laying slightly down the water will siphon out. The Black tank vent has NOTHING to do with this problem. Also the motor has nothing to do with it Doug
