How do I make sure my black tank is empty?
Always drain the black water first. Ensure the other end of your hose is tightly fitted into a city sewer inlet. Pull the black water valve and let the tank drain completely. Once you can hear that it’s completely empty (no more sounds of water rushing through), close the valve and pull the gray water valve.
What happens if you let your black water tank drain?
If you let the black water tank drain freely, liquids flow through but solids get stuck, leading to a very messy situation. And by keeping the gray water tank closed off, you’re always building up soapy water that can be used to flush the detritus of your black water draining process through the hose!
How to empty black and grey holding tanks?
The black water tank should always be dumped first, and then the grey water tank. This ensures that the grey water washes out the hose of all back water debris.
How do I drain the black tank in my RV?
You can easily drain your RV black tank by connecting your sewer hose to the dump station hole and the other end to the black tank valve. Now, open the tank valve and let the water flow.
What to do when Grey tank won’t drain?
It’s going to be harder to get a ton of water into the tank all at once. First put holding tank treatment into the kitchen sinks, bathroom sink, and bathtub and then try and dump as much water as you can down each drain all at the same time to get as much water flowing into the grey tank as possible. Hopefully doing this will unclog your grey tank.
