Only connect the hose to the black flush when you are going to flush the black tank then disconnect it when you are done.

I don't disconnect and I don't have any drips.


We've had many reports here of the vacuum breaker/check valve leaking and of the hose connections (2) to them leaking and of these valves being installed backwards. This vacuum breaker/check valve needs to be inspected, IMO.

I disconnect the black tank flash while I’m not using it. I have another issue of water laying in the basement floor behind the utility area. I have included some pictures. I can’t find the leak anywhere. Driving me crazy. How do you get the lines that are attached to the wood floor removed so I can make sure there’s no cracks at the bottom of the fittings? I can’t find any drips sleeping or any movement around the fittings, anything that indicates a leak.

A quick note. It was the water pump that was leaking very little while under pressure. Thats why out water pressure was slightly low. I bypass the pump and no water leaks visible in the last 7 hours and much better water pressure in the camper. [emoji846]

Sorry. What do you mean you bypassed the pump?
