When you are pumping uphill and the holding tank is empty, is the dump line still full of fluids?

You have to run water down the line, so there should be fluid from that when the tank us empty.

The line will always have some "fluid" in it when you are done. That's why the valve is at the end, it seals the line between the pump and the valve. Fluid will NOT run back through the pump, so any residual is trapped there. With the portable system, leave the line attached and walk the pump uphill when you finish, then detach and let the fluid drain out. If you can store the system without removing the line, you don't have to worry with it. We've used the permanent Clean Dump for years and wouldn't leave home without it.

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

Yes. When the float rises it triggers the water pump to stop filling because the tank is full.

Nope, sorry. It is an external in line pump, works best if below whatever tank you are pumping from.

No the tank is delivered empty. I think it has something to do with shipping a dangerous gas under pressure. I don't think any tank will be shipped full. Finding someones to fill them can be a chore. It took a few calls and visits to people who said they could then couldn't fill them.

Yes. Just make sure the suction lines have no air leaks. It will actually pull up hill about 20 feet if the suction line is sealed. You also need to put a foot valve on the suction line so that when it shuts off the suction line keeps water in it.

This sump pump has an upward discharge. There is a threaded collar that your will have to buy to attach the hose to the pump. Overall, it has been working like a champ.

It seems to pump fine, for the length of hose that comes on it. You would not be able to be much higher than the supply tank. But there's only enough hose to reach about 2 ft. I set it on the deck of my mower and it just reaches the tank and fills fine. My batteries go dead between uses if I leave them in it for even a week. I assume there's a resistor across the switch to keep it from arching when turning on or off.

Yes. There is a port on top that i put a valve and a hose with a tire gauge that i found cheap at Home Depot that i can fill up my tires. It works ok and does the job.

I purchased the installation kit with the tank: it has the shutoff valve, backflow preventer, vents etc. The tank does not need a pump - it is gravity flow. There is a gauge installed on the tank. With the tank emptying into the orginal vehicle tank - the vehicle fuel gauge will show full until the aux tank is empty. Although it is a 40 gallon tank - based on the location of the fuel line there will be approx 4 gallons left in the bottom of the tank.

You don't need a pump. Everything is done with water pressure jetting through the hose & gravity, which drains your tanks.

If I remember correctly, is does not. I use the plastic pails to fill it up since you can see the water level on those.

No - mine goes up to 90-100 psi and holds a full tank without losing pressure for days/weeks.

Yes it does. The tank for the cleaning solution is on the upright and the tank for dirty is below with the vacuum head. One note to be aware of, the waste tank is only about 1/2 the size of the solution tank so it has to be dumped more frequently than it needs to be filled.

There is a max water level indicator on the tank. Remember the item or items being cleaned also take up volume so fill accordingly.

No unfortunately it doesn't but I used my air mattress pump and it filled it up with no problem.

yes, the tank starts to float when it is empty. it only moves up about 1 inch but with a good marker, you can mark it on the side so when it pops up, you see the mark.
