User Guide

Clogged and stinky RV holding tanks and toilets are one of the leading issues RVers deal with every single year. The good news is that prevention of these issues is really simple. We’ve provided a brief description of the types of clogs you could encounter and a short list of tips and care habits to adopt so you don’t have to deal with them on a camping trip.

Pyramid Plug

Definition – poop and toilet paper that accumulates into a pyramid shape right under your toilet line and has finally reached the top where it is now preventing anything from being added to the tank.
Reason – leaving the black tank discharge valve open for any amount of time
Habits to Create

1. Leave black tank valve closed at all times (even on hook-ups) until ready to dump.
2. Flush using lots of water (for at least 10 seconds).
3. Flush the black tank thoroughly (20-30 minutes) every 3-5 dumps.
4. Use a high-quality, bacteria and enzyme tank treatment (like Unique RV Digest-It)

Blocked Toilet Line

Definition – blockage of toilet paper and solid waste trapped in the actual pipe that leads from the toilet bowl to the black tank.
Reason – using too much toilet paper and not enough water in an RV toilet system that has bends in the toilet line connecting to the black tank
Habits to Create

1. Fill the toilet bowl with water before using it and after each flush.
2. Flush using lots of water (for at least 10 seconds).
3. Moderate the amount of toilet paper you use.

Compacted Tank

Definition – solid waste has accumulated in the bottom of your black water tank, preventing waste from exiting the tank when the valve is opened.
Reason – not using enough water, not using a highquality bacteria and enzyme treatment (like Unique RV Digest-It), having a leaky discharge valve, or waste left sitting in tanks during storage
Habits to Create

1. Leave black tank valve closed at all times (even on hook-ups) until ready to dump.
2. Flush using lots of water (for at least 10 seconds).
3. Flush the black tank thoroughly (20-30 minutes) every 3-5 dumps.
4. Keep temperatures regulated so water in the tanks doesn’t evaporate.

Final Thoughts on Prevention

The habits listed under each type of clog are good to employ all the time so you are always preventing every kind of clog. This also includes regular deep cleanings of both gray and black tanks and always clearing the tank of waste as best you can before storing your RV.
The best way to ensure that you are always practicing these clog-preventing habits is to consistently follow The Unique Method.
