Sewer Solution March 21, 2001, 06:06:29 pm Yahoo Message Number: 2776Anybody have experience with a product called 'Sewer Solution' that supposedly takes the messiness and drudgery out of draining the black water tank? They claim the 3" 'stinky slinky' can be eliminated provided you have a water source to work with their product. I am a newbie so I can't compare the their product with what they describe as a very messy traditional dump process.They are located at www.sewersolution.com if you need more info to comment on this.Sorry for the messy topic...

For common campground dumping, it is no cleaner than the standard 3 inch hose and takes longer to dump. If you want the automatic hose rinsing feature, get a clear elbow with a hose fitting (with backflow preventer) attached. This not only is cheaper and rinses the hose, it is useful for cleaning the bottom of the tank, which almost always has a residue after dumping, even after refilling the tank as Lazy Daze suggests. Good luckGus Weber

It is needed, however, if you wish to dump at home and if your receptacle (house sewer cleanout fitting, toilet, etc) is within the pumping range. Sewer solution is nothing more than a water powered macerator pump. I wanted one because we like to go off for a few days boondocking and hate to stop and pay a campground on the way home to dump. But our septic tank cleanout fitting and our toilets are too far from our driveway for the sewer solution to work, and our water pressure is lower than the average bear. We therefore had to acquire an eectric macerator pump which would handle the elevation and distance to the fitting. The poop-out-pump handled this nicely, at about twice the cost of the sewer solution. But it was our peculiar circumstances which required it - for 28 or so years we never needed one - we just dumped at campgrounds.As to the sewer solution promise of cleaner dumps (no spillage, etc), we found that the Prest-O-Fit hose and fittings solved that problem easily. Once we got that, dumping was so clean that for the first time I stopped using rubber gloves.Hope this helps.Gus Weber

Sounds like something worth having for that fun time at the dump! Dumping, leveling, balancing, checking tire pressure on the inside back tires - aaarg! -lovemyld-

Sewer Solution Reply #5 – April 03, 2001, 10:15:13 pm Yahoo Message Number: 3033I didn't get a Prest-O-Fit when I started out on my first trip in my shiney new 26 1/2 MB -- I should have. The brand new sewer hose decided to spring back out of the sewer conncetion while dumbing my black water tank one lovely afternoon! Luckily I have good reflexes or it would have been REALLY ugly. As it was, it was ugly enough!Also, even if a site is called a Pull-through, don't assume there are no hazzards! Always look up and make sure there are no tree limbs or other obstructions in the way. I didn't and my new baby got a scratch.The first of many newbie mistakes -- I hope Vinny Valentino (my LD) forgives me for my ignorance.Marilyn
