ValterraSS01 RV SewerSolution Drainage Kit with 10' Hose and Accessories

Worked as expected. Added extra 15’ hose and no problem pumping slightly up hill for 20+ feet.

Não é prático e gasta muita agua

This thing is super! My sewer cleanout is 52 feet from my travel trailer. I used the included 1" PVC adapter and purchased $35.00 worth of PVC pipe and screw connectors for each 10' PVC section. I will have to get a short extension to move the Sewer Solution out from the dump valves on my tanks, but that's about $12.00 (Amazon). Once connected up, I turned on the water jet, then checked that water was flowing into the sewer cleanout. After verifying that I opened the black water tank. The clear portion of the Sewer Solution water jet filled with black water and instantly was shooting down the clear rubber hose portion of the Sewer Solution. I didn't have much in my tank and after a few minutes the Sewer Solution started pulling air shooting into the water jet stream so I knew the black tank was empty. I turned the water jet to back flush the tank and black water tank valve. I closed the black water tank valve and allowed the Sewer Solution to flush the rubber hose and PVC pipe. Checking at the dump into my sewer cleanout showed clear water. I shut off the Sewer Solution and drained the PVC pipe. Even though I imagine you could use the Sewer Solution without gloves, I would still highly recommend gloves be used and of course a good wash of the hands after handling the Sewer Solution. The click on hose connection for the water jet is a bit weak so be cautious with that so you don't break it. Other than that, the construction is pretty good. I may not use the Sewer Solution at a camp site. I don't see any major advantage to it over the stinky slinky other than it is cleaner and doesn't smell - not really an issue if your good at handling a stinky slinky. My intent by buying the Sewer Solution is so I can just leave a camp ground without having to stop and dump on the way out. I can now dump my tanks once I get home at my leisure. I can also use my travel trailer as a guest house when family comes to visit and allow them to use the travel trailer fully functional without them having to come into the house to use the bathroom facilities.

This product works exactly like it says but I did have to modify some of the longer discharge hose. I recommend it to anyone

I never write reviews but this thing is so neat I just had to say something. I have worked in the construction and oil industry for 35 years and used jetting devices in heavy industrial applications so I am well aware of the Bernoulli principle. I was skeptical when I ordered the Sewer Solution but it really works great. I used about 30 feet of 1" pvc to connect up the Sewer Solution to my septic tank at home. It was uphill about 2' but it unloaded the Black Tank from my travel trailer in short order. We just got back from a week long camping trip to the Grand Canyon and Arizona. It was a breeze to hook up each time. No more "Stinky Slinky" hose to mess with. You can just leave the gray water valve open and it will keep the gray water tank emptied as you camp. Dump the black water tank as needed. It makes for a much neater looking setup and your campsite as well. I had to buy a 5" clear sewer extension pipe to get the Sewer Solution apparatus out far enough away from my trailer valves to allow them to open. . That is actually a bonus as it allows you to see when the Black water tank is empty and turns clear. I also bought the 10' extension hose just in case I had a long reach to the sewer. I found out that you can make adapters from the hose back to pvc pipe as follows: The id of the hose is an identical match to 3/4" Cpvc pipe. (same od as the little aluminum piece of pipe that comes with the extension hose.). Buy an adapter from 3/4" Cpvc to 3/4" pvc and then a 3/4" x 1" pvc bushing and you are in business. Just remember to turn the hose clockwise as you are looking toward the cpvc pipe to both screw it on AND off. Funny that it works that way but as you rotate the hose in that direction it makes the spirals in the hose enlarge, thus slightly enlarging the hose id, allowing it to slip off the pipe. I did not use any clamps on the connections and feel pretty safe without them. It is not likely that you would get a clog in the hose that would allow the hose to pressure up since the jetting action at the hose inlet next to the camper is breaking any solids into tiny pieces.
