WASTE WATER SYSTEM
The waste water system in your
RV
is made up
of
sinks, tub, shower, toilet, plumbing drain and
vent lines, a
"gray water" holding tank and a
"black water" holding tank. The gray tank holds
shower, tub and sinks, where the black tank holds
toilet effluent. The holding tanks make the sys-
tem completely self-contained and allow you to
07-4
dispose
of
waste water at your convenience. A
flexible sewer hose is required to connect the
holding tank outlet to the inlet
of
an approved
waste water dump station or sewer system.
The drain plumbing is vety similar to that used
in your home. The system is trapped and vented
to prevent waste gases from backing up into the
RV.
The drain plumbing is made
of
plastic, and
is durable and resistant to most chemicals. All
drain plumbing except the toilet connection ter-
minates in the gray water holding tank and
drains directly into it.
Toilet
Your
RV
is equipped with a marine-type toilet.
The flushing mechanism, whether a foot-oper-
ated pedal or a hand-operated lever, allows a
valve in the bottom
of
the bowl to open, permit-
ting the contents to be flushed into the
"black"
holding tank. A stream
of
water under pressure
from the RV's water system swirls around the
bowl, cleaning
it
and flushing the contents into
the holding tank. Most models have two levers,
each working independently
of
the other so the
bowl can be filled with water prior to use.
Iu
order to help prevent hard deposits from
building up within the
"black" tank and help
reduce unwanted odor,
it
is recommended to
always keep water in the tank. When empty after
a tank discharge, flush the toilet several times in
order to introduce about five gallons
of
water.
It
is highly recommended that a deodorizing
product should be used for the black tank after
each discharge at a dumping station. This will
help control unwanted odors.
Ensure that the black tank sewer drain system is
always closed and only opened when draining at
a dump station. Never allow your black tank
system to dry out unless it has been thoroughly
cleaned, sanitized and rinsed first.
For additional information, please refer to the
operating manual in your
Owner's III formation
Package.
