    Grey water going to black tank

    I was using the pump to drain water that I had in the fresh tank and opened the kitchen and bathroom faucets. Black and grey tanks were empty to start with.

    Black tank valve leaking and other "stuff"

    Have been getting some bypass of the sanitary valve which is messy and embarrassing when we dumped. I order new seals and replaced today.
