How is it possible that the gray water smells so bad when i always dump immediately after showering? We boondock exclusively and schedule our showers to coincide with areas where we can dump afterward so it never remains in the holding tank over 15 minutes before dumping. And no it is not because we are too nasty,Lol.
The only other water that goes and stays in the gray tank for any length of time (2/3 days) is just from brushing teeth as we wash all dishes outside. And no our breath is not that bad,Lol.
So where does your outside dishwater go? On the ground, or in the gray tank? I HOPE in the gray tank!
Regardless of how soon you dump, there is always some remaining water left in the tank, and the tank is a moist wet environment with soap, hair, body dirt, etc. Of course it's going to grow stinky stuff!
