How do you fill this up? Wouldn't solid waste clog the drain hose?

Most people use these for gray water. If you do want to use it for black water, connect it with a 3" hose.

I couldn't say with any personal experience, for this would have been my first one. That being said, I noticed other people in different campgrounds using them. I had to return mine because mine was missing accessories, I do intend on purchasing another one today.

Fills directly from the black and gray water holding tanks. I wouldn't allow it to fill all the way. Weighs over 250 pounds full. I h as be had no problems with solid waste clogginbg the hose.

It comes with a flexible drain, but I don't think you could connect anything to that. You may want to just connect some type of hose to it....if you're a "handyman" I'm sure you can do it.

Always drain it after using by taking in and out hoses off there is also a little valve look on the instructions. I also mounted mine on a 4x4 I wrap it with a blanket and then slid a plastic garbage can over unit and 4x4

The drain is on the back and does attach to a garden hose. I used the hose initially and now just use the built in bucket. Either way this thing works great!

If your asking like where to drill the hole for the waste line (black hose) then all you do is position the r o where you wand it, then run the black line to the drain pipe, you want it at least 6" from the bottom of the pipe where it lopes cause water stays in there, so just go as high as you can to where you can drill a hole, it comes with the kit to adapt black hose on pipe,, and ofcourse the other hose(white) hook up to your cold water, you mite have to go to Home Depot to get a fitting, I did cause mine was different size, only like 3$ but others then that that's it, run the blue line where ever and turn on and enjoy If your asking like where to drill the hole for the waste line (black hose) then all you do is position the r o where you wand it, then run the black line to the drain pipe, you want it at least 6" from the bottom of the pipe where it lopes cause water stays in there, so just go as high as you can to where you can drill a hole, it comes with the kit to adapt black hose on pipe,, and ofcourse the other hose(white) hook up to your cold water, you mite have to go to Home Depot to get a fitting, I did cause mine was different size, only like 3$ but others then that that's it, run the blue... » Read More If your asking like where to drill the hole for the waste line (black hose) then all you do is position the r o where you wand it, then run the black line to the drain pipe, you want it at least 6" from the bottom of the pipe where it lopes cause water stays in there, so just go as high as you can to where you can drill a hole, it comes with the kit to adapt black hose on pipe,, and ofcourse the other hose(white) hook up to your cold water, you mite have to go to Home Depot to get a fitting, I did cause mine was different size, only like 3$ but others then that that's it, run the blue line where ever and turn on and enjoy « Show Less

Hose possibly clogged causing water to back up into the tank? Also this unit does not pump up hill. I have my unit sitting higher than the waste drain so gravity does the work.

Did you find the unit with a threaded waste port? The waste port should be described or at least a photo provided. Just had to RETURN a unit because of that. IF they had included an threaded piece to install instead of that drop tube requiring a second trap - which actually - I measured a trap will not fit into the space. I guess they figured WE would remake all the pipes under OUR sinks to accommodate THEIR disposals OR call a plumber. Remember 'create jobs'!!!

You have to leave the nozzle open to let it drain out, it will shrink back if it drains, maybe not as much as it look on the ad. I you have high water pressure it may burst the hose one of mine did in the front of my house (higher pressure there). Also keep it out of the sun when not using. I love the convenience but was disappointed when one hose popped.

It's funny, my wife and I were on the fence about getting this because we also couldn't find that info! Anyway, there is an outlet valve to which you can hook up another garden hose. Then the hose can drain wherever you like. We have it leading into a large bucket/pail which we periodically empty. Hope that helps!

There is a screw cap on the back of the base of the unit. Just unscrew the cap and empty the waste into a sewage system. Remember to take the upper portion off first to make it easier to handle.

There is a drain hole on the side, but my wife and I basically just let the air out and push down a side. Drains in a few minutes. Doesn't take up much room when rolled up and put away!

I had the same problem and attached it to the end of a 10-foot sewer hose that was in turn attached to the tank drain port. It worked very well and gave me the extra distance I needed to reach my disposal point. I did have one of the adapters that are clear and have hose port for flushing attached directly to the tank drain. This way I could check when the black tank was running with clear liquid and also when I was finished, I could connect a hose to flush out the whole system. It really worked great and is saving me from having to drive 15 miles to empty my tanks after a trip.

I run the drain hose into the basement floor drain. The hose is NOT included. I picked one up at the local hardware store.

No, this is just a plastic hose that has no pressure and it needs to be flowing down, I have my portable sink next to my utility sink and then I have a 5 gallon bucket under it that I just placed to hose in it to drain. I use a sprayer hose that I attach to my utility sink and use that to shampoo someone's hair with, make sure you empty the bucket when it gets full.

read the instruction manual. there will be a section on this. i believe there's a "cap" that needs to be removed first. but it's likely you do not have the drain hose LOWER than the unit so it cannot flow correctly.

is such then after about 15 minut just restart it and ypu keep filling. You can use a garden hose

just blow or shake it out. most of water is accumulated in hose if you use the hose, if not just let gravity and a litle shake help you get it out. elementery watson
