    In part 1, part 2, and part 3 of this series of posts I’ve discussed how venting, additives, and waste component systems can play a role in odor control in your RV. Today, we move on to holding tank blockages.

    Many experts recommend frequent flushing of the holding tanks with vast amounts of fresh water to help rid them of odors. I usually agree with this tact, except for the fact it quite often wastes precious water; a commodity that must be conserved, especially when dry camping.

    The main reason for frequent rinsing is obviously to eliminate (or minimize) those pesky holding tank blockages, predominantly in the black, toilet tank. That’s why we all know to leave the black tank valve shut until ready for evacuation (more on this later).

    AllProResultsBut to totally eliminate holding tank blockages and to rid the tank itself of most odors I recommend finding a dealer for All Pro Water-Flow.

    All Pro-Water-Flow uses a patented, rotating high pressure delivery nozzle that forces water onto virtually every square inch inside the holding tank, including all in-tank monitor panel sensors; (ever had inaccurate readings on your monitor panel?). Only with extremely high water pressure provided by this hydro-cleaning process can all sludge be completely removed. Fiber optic camera shots (at right) show the interior of a holding tank before and after an All Pro treatment.

    Performed annually, all holding tank blockages can now be eliminated. And remember, the cleaner the tank, the less likely odors will proliferate.

    Now that you’ve been introduced throughout this series to some of my favorite products and services regarding RV waste systems, I’ll move on next week to the actual procedures for dumping those tanks.
