can you keep the gray tank open if it is down hill to the sewer?

Yes. Even when it is up hill. Your hose will just not completely empty, but it's just grey water.

There's no suction or vacuum in the system given a vent exists, so all aspects expected in gravity physics work fine.

I've never tried it, but in my use, it does seem to need to slope toward the drain. It is a neat product though.

I don't know but you could find out on Kidde.com. Foot note; On the first of every month, you should pour no less than a gallon of water in each floor drain so sewer gases can't come into the house

The whole item is made of plastic, so water should be no problem. Rain would have to blow horizontal through the opening in order to get in the crawl space, but have never seen that done or heard of it being a problem before.

Not safely. You can add hoses or mount the pole to something other than the tank.

No. The tank would have to be unsecured. Basically it is just a scale that is calibrated for the weight of a 20lb tank filled with propane. If the propane tank is protected from the weather you could leave the scale attached to the tank but I wouldn't recommend it. I keep my gauge inside the house protected from the elements so the spring inside doesn't rust or lose calibration.

Probably not, unless this is a permanent set up. It sounds like you are bring a hose over to a tank and and filling the tank then draining and disconnecting the hose.

You leave the grey tank valve open all the time. With this system you no longer have to save grey water to use to clean the plumbing pipes out after you empty your black water tank. So at the end of the day you don't worry about the overflow of grey water in your shower or sinks any longer.

Not that I know of but it you leave the grey open it will gravity feed after you get it started with the pump. Hope that helps.

It has to stay tll the way open since it is electrical. If it was manual you could leave it half way but it isn't.

You have to leave the hose as it is with it connected to the back, if you leave it to lie on the ground, all the water will run out, there has to be some elevation

Yes. Best to disconnect from power to prevent hitting on/off button.expect/prepare for slight leakage where tank meets pump assembly.

I believe you could do that but the barrell will overflow unless you have a very tightly sealed lid. Don't know where the water would go after it is full. I presume it would probably fill up the supply line up to the diverter and then back out the downspout.

It is attached to the sewer so I'm guessing you can, but very slowly & with clear water flushing either at the same time or in small increments. And of course finish up with lots of clear water.

No. The opening is small and has a sprng loaded valve which stays normally closed.

no- but I have had no problems with it, the bag is heavy and the cart does not roll away on you. however, you may not want to leave it on a hill next to a water hazard :p

I usually leave mine opened, but you can certainly close it down. It takes up so little room when it is folded! We can use the riding mower under it even when it is open, though.

Yes, you can stay connect if your location of hose box is close to the faucet. I don't keep mind connected especially during the winter months
