The other good thing about putting the Valterra T-58 gate valve on the exit is for our Solitude having 2 gray tanks of 54 gallons; with the gate valve shut and both gray tank valves open, we now have 1 108 gallon tank.

And not mentioned was the fact that it is gray water remaining assuming the black tank was emptied first

I have the same problem but mine is the tank valve . After we clean tank from trip I will put camco deodorizer and about 3 gallons water in black tank . The next time I take the cap off I get that blue colored water flow out . There are definitely problems underneath and all I'm doing is deodorizing the drain pipe .

I dunno how much Calvin Klein softener is required but for Calgon (or Borax) softener about a cup of powder with a cup of Dawn dish soap and a few gallons of water is what most people use. I've used double that of both at times, nothing broke. If you Google "GEO method" you'll find lots of advice about it.

That's pretty gross.
Given the surprises that have awaited me - both their volume and their chunkiness - if I left the the cap off I'd be fearful that the cap surprise would be replaced with the police officer surprise as I dumped raw sewage going down the road.
Most people should buy the valve, and complain until GD fixes this very basic plumbing problem with their trailers.Mark - 2018 Solitude 310GK - 2017 F-350 diesel SRW short box - Pullrite Superglide hitch

It is getting harder - used to be in EVERY grocery store - but I've had pretty good luck getting Borax (the same thing) at nearly every Walmart I've shopped for it. Also found Borax in some grocery stores. And here's a listing at Home Depot:

For my Canadian compatriots, here's a listing at Canadian Tire:
