Black tank scrubber problem

[Thumbs]

I was using the scrubbers last time I dumped. I noticed not as much water was coming out of the tank as what I think is going in. We had very good water pressure at the campground so the flow should be much greater than I saw. No water was on the ground under the camper. I took my knife and punched a couple of holes in the belly pan, the under belly covering, and no water came out. i did notice some water leaking from the shower where the shower stand meets the linoleum floor in the bath area. I looked under the shower floor and the plywood was not wet. There was, however, water on the shelf behind the the dump valves. That was enough to use a towel to dry it up. Anyone have an idea what is going on?

thanks
Gary

Yeah thats a possibility. Problem is I cant find anyone that has the time to fix it or even look at it till August. Good news is Im home and won't be using the camper. I am hoping its a check valve problem. I can see a little water but not a big deal. If there were a major break there should be gallons and gallons of water laying in the enclosed belly pan of the camper. Like I said I punch a couple of holes in the pan and nothing came out. A little from under the shower pan between the linoleum and where the shower sits on the floor. I looked under the shower in the camper and the plywood is not even damp dry as a bone.

What does tank level show? (IF THEY ARE SOMEWHAT ACCURATE)

Ha your right, if somewhat accurate. Normally 2/3 full. Ok I can go two weeks before I dump. Just the two of us. I normally use the "Thrown Detector" method to tell me what it needs to be emptied. Since I had the luxury of sewers I dumped this time each week. So the tank was not overfull. Maybe half at the most. Also the water I am getting is fresh clear water not any black water at all.
