Few noteworthy points
1. Our toilet is on passenger side with drain on driver side like yours, I looked at the plumbing diagram and there are several elbows
2. I am guilty of thinking the sani flush as savior and it needs help to be
3. If I could pick one mod for Winnebago, it would be to re-plumb the bathroom sink to drain to the black tank vs the gray. Or at least put a valve where you could divert to tank of your choice. The outside kitchen sink does drain to the black tank but it is seldom used.
4. Will Calgon water softener and Dawn have any chemical reaction to Thetford waste tank odor treatment?
5. After dumping the black, I usually let the saniflush run until all water is clear. I never thought to close it all back up and let it fill again with sani flush on and then re-dump. I will certainly try that.
6. And yes this facility had really low water pressure my guess 30 - 40 psi. |
We typically add the Calgon and Dawn to about 5 gallons of water when we are pulling out of a site so it sloshes around the tank while driving. I don't think it will hurt the Thetford treatment but not 100% sure. We have not had odor or blockage issues with our approach.
The San-T-Flush is good in theory but with too many variables on where they place it in the tank, camp water pressure, etc. I have found it is most effective ads an easy way to fill the black tank with water to flush out remaining waist.
