Waste Water Systems; Things Not To Put Into Toilet Or Drains - Airstream Sport 2017 Owner's Manual

General Information
Waste Water System
The main parts of the waste water system are the
toilet, dual holding tanks, and tank dump valves (See
Section 8 - Maintenance for dump valve information)�
The system is designed to provide complete self-
contained toilet facilities, while on the road or parked,
without being connected to a sewage line� It may also
be used in the stationary position while connected to a
sewage hose�
Keep the dump valves closed with either method and
empty the tanks when they are nearly full� The idea is
to send a large volume of water through the tanks and
hose at the same time to float solids away.
After the sewage tank has been emptied, close the
gate valves and put approximately five gallons of water
in the sewage holding tank� This will help prevent
solids from building up in the sewage holding tank� The
addition of a deodorizing agent like Aqua-Kem® will
help prevent odors�
Should you ever have a buildup of solids, close the
valves, fill the tanks about 3/4 full with fresh water,
drive a distance to agitate the solids, and drain the
tanks�
