RE: black water tank
Hi everyone,
They come and pump us out "on call", so when I think we're getting full, I call them. They are always in a big hurry - and sometimes I think the tissue, etc., gets stuck so they just stop pumping. If I could find something that would break the "stuff" down quicker that would probably help. I'll pick up a wand to use, since they won't give me the time to do the attachments. I don't have any horrible odors, it just seems like the tank is never completely empty.
Thank you to everyone for their suggestions!

RE: black water tank
Hi again,
Thanks, I do put in chemicals, but it seems that they don't do the job completely. Can you recommend a certain brand?
Also, if I use the "flush king" thingy, is it something that the campground pump-truck will use, since they're the ones doing the actual pumping? Is it something they hook up to that is already on my TT?
Someone at the campground told me to use olive oil, and that it would make the walls of the tank slippery so nothing would stick, but I'm a little leary of the smell that it might produce.

black water tank
Hi Everyone,
This is probably a question asked many times, but how can I keep my black water tank squeaky clean, and stop "things" from clogging? We are stationary - so no towing, so the tank contents doesn't get jiggled around. When the honey wagon comes to pump us out, there always seems to be a problem. I fill up with water before they come, but then they always tell me it's empty -- even though the sensors say no; and sometimes I can see (with a flashlight down the toilet) that the sensors are correct!
I tried adding calgon water softener once, but it made the tank give off a horrible odor so I never did it again (YUCK).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I guess I need to know if there's any secrets to making the contents turn to liquid more quickly, or to making the sides of the tank repel the nasty stuff. (do use the deordizer stuff)
Thanks very much,
Doreen
