EVERY DRV fresh water tank is slow to drain--you are better off using the pump to run the tank low and into the grey tank, it will go much faster. Problem is tiny opening in the valve, and little head pressure.
Just another of the small hassles....

I finally opened the 2 blue drains and the red drain and turned the pump on and that helped. Thought maybe I had something plugging the drain. Thanks

Our Avion Platinum's water tank drained FAST! It had a 1.5" down pipe with a slide valve like on black and grey tanks.

Just goes to show you the wisdom of DRV....if you install a large water tank drain, you'll go out of business.
