San-T-Flush problem
Is there something I'm doing wrong???
I've hooked a hose to the San-t-flush outlet and nothing.... Shouldn't it just spray and flush??????????? Is there something I'm not doing?? a valve somewhere? this makes No sense!!

The San-T-Flush you see isn't an "outlet" - connect a hose and turn on the water with the tank dump valve open - it will spray out and flush out the black water tank it is connected to.

There is a one-way check valve in line between the connector and the tank. I have heard from a few people that theirs was either bad or installed backwards

I had one backwards and one that was mounted sideways. Neither worked. Straightened one and flipped the other. Alls well

Sorry to jump in this conversation so late, but does anyone have any experience using the line pressure from their camper at the flush connection to hookup to the flush port? I can't imagine that the water pump gets higher than around 40psi so it may not be enough pressure to really give the tanks a good cleaning. If it did work it would be very convenient.

I'm under the impression that its a direct line from hose connection outside to tank.. If I'm wrong please correct me.. I called Dutchman...... what a joke.. Girl I don't believe ever saw a camper...

Not 100% sure what you are asking, but I always hookup a 2 way splitter to the water hydrant at the campground, one side goes to a pressure reducer to feed the camper, and the other side I use full line pressure to flush the tanks out.
Everywhere we camp around here has really high pressure, so it works well with the san-t-flush and hydro flush.

There's no reason it wouldn't work, but I don't know why you would want to do it. You're flushing your tanks, so you must have a sewer hookup, that means there must be water close by.

The dumping station at the campground we typically like to go to has water at the dumping location but you can't hook your hose up to it. They have a spray nozzle fixed to the end of their hose that can't be removed that would only be for flushing out your flex hose and fittings. I would have to run a hose from the potable water filling station which could be done, just not very convenient.
