The most common holding tank problem is blocking the drain lines, which can be
minimized by following a few simple suggestions:
•
Always use plenty of water when flushing.
•
Do not put facial tissue, paper, baby wipes, or sanitary napkins into your holding
tanks.
•
Do not put solid objects into the tank which could puncture or scratch your
tanks.
•
Do not leave the termination valves in the open position or open them prior
to having the sewer hose connected. Do not remove the termination cap with the
termination valves in the open position.
•
You may wish to add an approved deodorant chemical, approved for your sewer
system, to aid in the breakdown of solid wastes as well as making your system more
pleasant to use.
•
Prior to dumping, make sure your tank is at least 1/3 full.
•
Fill and cover the bottom of the tank with water after dumping is complete
and leave the water in the tank.
•
Use only approved, biodegradable, toilet tissue designed specifically for motorhome
systems.
