[Bart]

I have a 2017 Thor is 30.4 so has anybody had a problem with the Santi flush System since day one brand new when I hook by hose to it it just pressures up and nothing goes into the black tank I took it back to giant RV Told them the problem I was having a told them the problem I was having With it just pressuring up. They said it was working just to run low pressure in it but as soon as I took it out it does the same thing as anybody Had this problem with there’ santi flush clean out?

Welcome.

Check the anti-siphon valve on the Santi flush system--it is likely installed backwards.

[Bart]

OK that’s kind of what I was figuring but I thought it might be a check valve installed backwards somewhere but I cannot locate anything but hoses would you happen to know where that Val would be located ?

Not sure where that is as our Axis doesn't have one.

If you can I'd try to trace the plumbing back from where you hook the hose up to the tank (most likely will have to crawl underneath to find it).

You could also call Thor and ask for the construction drawings for your unit--make sure you have your VIN handy.

Ok Thank you I will do that.

I have one on my chateau 31E as well that did the same thing. A small frog had taken refuge inside the connection and became a blockage at the elbow. Removed said frog from the system and were working again.

Did you ever figure out how he got in there?

Yes there was no screen protection on the inlet. Fixed it with a hose washer screen you put in at the connection.

This is what I used.

Have fun trying to locate it. Mine on my 29h is in the interior, wall next to the shower about four feet above the floor.
The only reason I know this is that the paneling buckled the first year in NC camping during hurricane Mathew.

Glad to hear that this was an easy one: once the culprit was found!
