I have one under the garage sink and I think it might be backwards as I don't think the flush water goes through it. I've only flushed that tank once so I don't know for sure. The flush didn't seem to work correctly so I left it for another day. I don't use that head back there so there's not much need to empty and flush.

Funny you ask that. Mine was working properly. I could hear the water hitting the inside of the tank. When about 1/2 full I no longer heard it and when almost full it starts making a different sound. It is a different sound even when flushing so you know when you have about 5 gallons or so left.
Now a far a being installed backward. Yes, if it were installed backward it should not work at all. I removed my check valve to take it to the RV shop and when I was re-installing it I wondered if I was doing it correctly. The valve has flow direction indication on it. So with the hose hooked to the San-T-Flush and the valve removed I had my wife just crack the hose bib for an instant. Allot of water shot from the hose so I knew I was installing it the correct way.
Thinking about it now. I don't feel that using the San-T-Flush to completely fill the tank is necessarily the right thing to do. Perhaps partially filling is the best route.
I am going over to rvnetwork.com Escapees Discussion Forum and check around. There is a ton of information over there.
