Black Tank Flusher

My main problem is low water pressure at some campgrounds that renders the system virtually useless. Instead, as others have stated, filling the tank with water and then dumping does the job.

X2 that it gets dirty pretty quickly again. My main reason is to make sure that I don't leave any residue or paper on the sensors.

Ditto on what everyone has said.

Or, maybe next time let the rinse go for 20 to 30 minutes instead of 10 to 15.

I have the built in rinser but when it runs clear we still use the old faithful "pooh wand" and it's amazing how much more paper it dislodges. Wife is OCD on the black tank so 5 minutes extra is worth not hearing from her. She helps so I can't complain!

I have the Flush King and it rinses the black tank really good and was like $45. Can't beat that.

I close the dump valve when running the rinser so water can accumulate and when I open the dump valve the water carries out solids that other wise would not come out. :)

I dump, then flush/rinse using OEm flush system with drain open then I close the drain valve and let the flush system flow. After about 5 mins I open drain valve and let the higher volume/level go whoosh. Then close the valve wait 30 seconds or so and shut down flush system (puts a few gallons or so of water back in tank for next time)

Then I dump grey tanks and pack up.......done

i agree, so far this is basically the way I do it, but instead of about 5 minutes once, i do it about 3 times for about 2-3 minutes each, you wont flood your TT if your standing there "managing" what your doing, runs clear for me every time, after that add a little water to the black tank, then release the grey and go home, works for me

I do the same except I have two tornado rinser's in my black tank and I usually clean it twice (I am a bit OCD about my black tank).

I'm not real OCD about waste tanks.......dump when full, rinse, add few gallons & call it good. They are going to get dirty again real soon.

Yep what he said ^ he just types faster.................

Nope.......

Thing is the drain line is in the sidewall of tank (vs sloped bottom) so there is a lip that will hold some of the stuff. Need a high volume flow to push that stuff up & over that lip.

Sounds about right to me. I don't know if you're supposed to do this or not, but I close the black valve (after emptying and rinsing once) and fill the tank about 2/3s and empty it again. That usually cleans it out pretty well and I see a lot more come out after that.
