Grey water tank sludge
Helping a friend with her grey water tank issues.
2009 36 ft. Motorcoach
The tank drains very slowly. About 4 months ago we drained the tank as best we could and then took apart the slide valve and connecting piping to the tank, leaving the tank outlet open. Sludge came out and because we were in a campground we could not let too much drain out as other units were next door. Put things back together and filled the tank and did some direct drains and all improved quite a bit.
4 months later, now back in the same situation. This time she is in an area she can dump the grey water tank onto the ground (at a farm). T
Two questions:
1) Any suggestions on how to flush the tank other than a hose directly into the tank through the exposed outlet when we take the piping apart. I am a little shy of using a pressure washer into the tank.
2) How can she prevent the sludge build up. She lives the coach full time and does not put anything but dish water and shower water into the grey tank. She does not have a dishwasher or clothes washer in the coach.
Any suggestions will be well received.
