Thanks for all the tips..I did not know there was a backflow preventer installed..I had thought something had plugged at the end of the line so I tried a piece of flexible wire..it went in about 5" or so and stopped..How or what do I do to fix the backflow preventer?
LYNMORE posted a link of the parts and installation of a black tank flush system. My system similiar layout. You might have to take some access panels off to find the atmospheric vacuum breaker/check valve and unscrew the plumbing tubing and remove/replace or repair (this is where my system had stink bugs jammed up inside the rectangular area..cleaned out debris and reinstalled..works fine now). If your referring to the water inlet check valve you can remove mesh screen inside the outside hose connector and try clean flush out the valve/spring?..if its like the one found on the city water hookup on your rv. I had to replace the city water inlet connection as it could not be fixed on my unit. Not sure though if the black flush inlet same design/function as the city water inlet. Hope that helps..and hope you dont have to crawl and stretch as much as my friend and I had to fix mine..
