HOLDING TANK CARE
-. Since holding tanks don't rely on any sophisticated mechanical devices for
their operation, they are virtually trouble free. The most common problem is
also an unpleasant one -. clogging. You can minimize the chances of clogging
by keeping the following considerations in mind:
Keep the black water tankknife valve closed. Fill tank to at
least
3/ 4
-full before draining. Be sure to cover the tank
bottom with water after draining.
Use only toilet tissue formulated foruse in septic tank or RV
sanitation systems ..
Keep both knife val ves closed and locked, and thedrain cap
tightly in place when using the system on the road.
Use only cleaners that are approved for use in septic tank or
RV sanitation systems.
Use a special holding tank deodorant chemical approved for
septic tank systems in the black water holding tank. These
chemicals aid the-breakdown of solid wastes and make. the
system much more pleasant to use .
. Do not put facial tissue, paper, ethylene glycol-based or
other automotive antifreeze, sanitary napkins or household
toilet cleaners in the holding tanks.
- Do not put anything solid in either tank that could scratch or
puncture the tank.
