black water

I have a 2020 2109 that we have set up at the family lake house- mooch docking. Use a macerator pump to dump into the septic. I’m seeing what look like metal deposits in the pump. 2-3 inches long and an inch wide and other misc. flakes in smaller sizes. I can’t think of any metals that would...

Greetings: My daughter and SIL have a 2016 Avenger (32FBI I believe). I replaced a bad BW vent cap with a Camco Cyclone in January. My daughter has been dealing with fumes and more frequent need to dump the BW tank for 5 or 6 weeks. She advised that she did not think that the cyclone was...

We have a 2022 Forest River East to West Ulta 2600KRB. This has two gray tanks, one at the bathroom and one in front at the Galley. We've been out a total of 11 nights with this unit. If the bathhouse is close and considering the occasion, we most likely use the bathhouse not only for the...

Hi, this is Charlie, I have 15 foot Jayco swift trailer. It's awesome, it does what we needed to do for just the 2 of us. But every time my husband goes to empty the black tank. It still reads 3/4th full, sometimes half full. Sometimes a 1/4 full. don't understand when it's totally empty or...

We are getting a slow drip where abs pipe connects to black water tank. Its on a 2014 Rock Wood Mini 2109. Not sure but was told its a abs tank but isn't like abs pipe I'm familiar with as it has a matt finish almost looks brushed. There is abs connector that has what looks like hose clamp screw...

Hello FR Experts. I recently filled my black water tank with rinse water, and have noticed a very slow leak where the tank flush hose attaches to the side of the tank. There is currently factory applied black caulk or other sealant at this fitting. I am tempted to purchase a high-quality...

I have a 2022 Cedar Creek 31 RL fifth wheel. Finished up a week of camping today. Emptied black tank and both gray tanks with no problem. I hooked hose to black tank flush and turned water on. I could hear the flush working and water was flowing out the drain pipe to sewer. Water was on for...

My grey water valve (right side) is stuck open on my 2006 5th Wheel Rockwood by Forest River. It feels like the valve is okay, but the whole assembly is moving. Not sure what valve I need or if this is a cable type valve? Thought I'd post here to see if someone had the same issue before I...

I have a quick question. I noticed my black water flush connection does not have a one way valve from factory. Shouldn't this valve be a one way just like the city water? Thanks..

We have a 2020 Cedar Creek Hathaway Has anyone ever had a leak in the first connection from the black water tank. Ours is leaking and have had no luck stopping the drip. It’s not a glued connection, has some sort of butyl type goop over it and a loose clamp.

I have a 2014 FR3 30 DS and have recently been camping when we started getting this awful urine smell behind the toilet seat. I have scrubbed but the odour is still there. There is no smell in the toilet bowl or around the base of the toilet and the smell behind the toilet seat only smells of...

I have a Rockwood fifth wheel 2889ws. When I flush my black water tank some water comes out from under the bathroom sink. There is a what looks like a check valve under there. Just wondering if this is normal?

Where is the black water sensor on a 2017 Forest river RV? Thanks, Marty

We are experiencing a leak coming from under our 2020 Flagstaff Super lite when we use the black tank sprayer. Where would we find the check valve to the sprayer system Thanks in advance for your assistance

Who is the manufacturer of a NoBo 19.2 black water valve? The shaft bent and I had to force it closed to winterize. I need to find out who it is and order some parts. I think this is a cable system. Are there any hints on how to install a new cable and how to adjust the pull? Mine are so hard to...

I've searched and just can't find a specific thread on this so here I go. I purchased a brand new 2021 Della Terra 721BH from a dealer last year. My unit is now resting on a permanent camp spot so I don't want to remove it to the dealer. Since the beginning I haven't been able to use my black...

I recently became aware of a person flushing their black water tank with a hose from the potable water tap at a dump station. The potable water tap is a self draining hydrant type for frost protection so when shut off it drains including back flow from the attached hose. The tap is signed for...

Hello all, we are new to this forum and to using our 2019 Rockwood Ultra Lite 2606WS trailer. We purchased it used and we live in CT. We have 2 grey water tanks and one black water tank.

2018 Leprechaun 31FS. Attempted to fill the freshwater tank. Connected the hose to the white tank fill inlet. Set the blue lever to "tank fill / winterize" not to "city water". Checked all the valves in the cabin we could find to open. Ran water slowly, listening carefully. After a bit checked...

Greetings Fellow Forest River Owners, I’ve seen several videos on how people flush/rinse/clean their black water tanks. Doesn’t seem to be one way of doing it. What I do is dump the tank (gray is closed), and repeatedly refill to ¾ to full with water and dump until the 90-degree clear elbow no...

My control panel has indicators for two black water tanks (3 gray). The user guide doesn't address this and Im a bit befuddled on how they might operate together if at all - since there's only one outlet. Any advice?

I have a 2018 Rockwood Mini Lite 2509s. I have the following questions: 1. Does anyone know where the black water tank is located? 2. My trailer has a water tank heater. Are my black and grey water tanks also heated? 3. Should I put silver insulation on exposed pipe and release value...
