Black Tank Odors
I dump and backwash my black tank weekly. I run backwash cycles of 5 minuites with the dump valve closed to allow clean water levels to rise during the backwash.
After having clear water coming from the tank from two consecutive flushes, I'll close the dump valve and run the backwash for 15 - 20 seconds and leave that in the tank to mix with the tank chemical I put in every week.
My issue is that in the past month or so, the odor from the black tank has become really bad. I have gone in from the top side with an angled wand to clean what I can from there. After doing this weekly for 2 years, am I somehow missing a step? Or is there something additional/different I should be doing after two years of use?
