what about the black tank flush line ?

[dretired]

i pumped almost 2 gallons of RV anti-freeze using the water pump .but...should anything be done to the black water flush line ?

Blow it out

[TURBS]

Black water flush has a one way valve so anything on the "inside" of the valve drained into the tank.
anything on the outside dribbled out on the ground already .


Turbs

I blow mine out too.

I actually squirt RV AF into the black tank through the turboflush.
Overkill; maybe. But I don't want water trapped in that expensive check valve.

My outside shower head is right next to my city water and turboflush connections. I bought a brass fitting (male 1/2 inch NPT to male hose) and a brass one way check valve that I hook to the hose wand.

The wand can reach both the city water inlet and the turboflush inlet.

With the system pressurized with pink; I just open the valve on the shower faucet with the wand hooked to the city inlet and then the turboflush inlet.

PS - again I can't take the credit for the idea or the photos. Just passing it along from the Herkbrary.

I thought it was Herkipedia...Nonetheless , a great idea that I may use.

great idea! In the past for the fresh water inlet I've gone outside while the water pump is on and pressed in on the back pressure nib until pink spurts out from the pump side. This would be much easier and less messy than getting pink stuff all over me!

As long as pink is coming out under pressure it should work.
