I have a hose connected for continuous drain but the water tank keeps filling up and Ive had to empty it a few times. Why is this happening?

You should check to be sure the unit is absolutely level. If it isn't, the water may flow into the tank instead of the hose. (Had it happen to me.)

I don't know. I do not have that problem but I empty the tank quite often. Even though I live in a pretty dry climate I still drain the tank every couple weeks.

Yes you connect a regular garden hose to the Flush King, it has a shut off that's handy. So you dump your black tank, shut off the flush King Handle turn on the water and the water will go back into the black tank. Watch your levels so you don't over fill the tank. you'll be amazed how much junk stays in your tank when you don't have on of these. I think I flushed mine 4 times before it seemed clean. Good luck.

don't have to drain the tank . Just take out just enough ( very little ).Enough that you don't get any water draining out of the area at your breaking the connection on top of the tank. Very simple job. Take your time .

It may be dirt. If you leave a hose connected, water can stay in the down drain and cause mud in the base. When the water is turned on, this goes up the line first. Best cure is to always disconnect the hose after you turn the water off. Another cause could be a break in your plastic line. I have no experience with this, as the faucet I put in has a long metal down drain and intake.

we've had the same issue on rare occassion. I have no idea why it is leaking and we have also checked it, cleaned it, etc. it seems to be more of an issue when it is overly full.

Yes you need to drain it. If you are running it continuously and you don't drain it the water will drain onto your floor.

By hooking up the drain hose to the rear of the unit you enable the continuous flow function to work- there is a float inside the reservoir that will make the unit stop when it is full of water (kind of like how the float in the back of your toilet works!) by hooking up the hose you subsequently bypass the float from ever sensing the unfit is full.

Hi Cory, I would check the air pressure in the tank. Can't remember what it should be but should say on the tank or instructions. Should be a certain amount of differential pressure between tank and utility water pressure. Not enough air pressure and the bladder would not drain completely but too much might not let it fill to capacity.

I fill my unit I/2 inch from the top. If the water still flows poorly, check the pump, it may have a blockage. Rinse the pump real well. Hopefully this will help.

If the tank won't fill, but water flows out of the faucet, then you did not hook up the water correctly. You connected it to the tank outlet/faucet, instead of the tank inlet. Best of luck! The written instructions worked perfectly for me.

Have you drain the water out of the tank, and the hissing is the hose going to the tank from the compressor is loose put a clamp on it

The hose gets soft after a while and kinks, though a leak in the tank would do that too. The new model has a reinforced hose indicating that Waste King knows about the problem. Try calling them - they were very helpful in my case even after the warranty expired. Good luck!

The thing may be bled. Appears that it may also be disassembled and rebuilt. If it is filling with water, you might want to correct the design of your system, or drain your tank more often...

I have the same problem. There is a design flaw, get a sharp pointed knife or something and move the drain hole line inside the water resorvoir. The water is not draining into the lower part. I am going to ask to get mine replaced. I see at least one other person has had the same problem

try removing the water bottle and draining whatever water is in there and start over. i have this water system and have not had a problem with it.

I haven't used a hose. I empty by hand. Try disconnecting the hose and then running it. That's one way to narrow down the problem. If its acting normally then, I would reconnect the hose and try running it again. Hope that helps.
