It’s a dirty job…and we are here to do it! 💩
Caveman’s Camper Care now offers Hydro-jet waste tank services.
RV waste tanks are certainly one of the least glamorous parts of owning a rig. Black tanks of course hold human waste but did you know that gray tanks are often even worse?!
Grease, mold, skin, hair, and other nasty debris often cling to the sides of your tanks or sit on the bottom so when you do a regular tank dump the liquids flush out leaving much of this behind.
Another culprit of RV tank trouble is struvite - a mineral buildup that starts as a sludge looking debris but then hardens into sand looking particles and then large thick chunks.
Here’s how struvite can affect RV waste tanks:
1. Clogging and Blockages: Struvite crystals can form over time and accumulate in the pipes, tank sensors, and even the tank itself, leading to blockages that can disrupt the proper flow of waste and water.
2. Odor Issues: As the struvite builds up and potentially mixes with organic material, it can contribute to unpleasant odors, especially if there is inadequate ventilation or the tank is not regularly maintained.
3. Tank Efficiency: The formation of struvite can affect the efficiency of the waste system, causing the tank to become less effective at holding waste and potentially leading to overflows, slow draining, or tank sagging due to the extra weight.
It’s recommended to have your RV waste tanks serviced annually. If you’re having RV tank troubles or just want piece of mind, contact us to schedule your hydro-jet service today!
