Black water rinse question

[Nick31]

Such a great feature for keeping tank clean. Always surprised at how effective this is.

So I run a dedicated hose for this job. I had been thinking that more pressure is a good thing. But started getting worried that if campground pressure is too high I could damage mechanism in the tank.

So do I need a dedicated pressure regulator for this job as well?

I've never used a pressure regulator on the black tank rinse.

Me neither, you will never build up pressure because the line is open. There are no moving parts in the tank flush . If you must use a regulator, make sure you have a separate regulator just for that purpose.

I have always used a secondary hose and it's only used for black water rinsing. I bought the one camco makes for black water use. It's orange in color so you don't get it mixed up with your drinking hose.
I never used a regulator while rinsing on any of the GD's I have owned and never had a problem. Great question though. I'm interested in hearing if others have ever had issues.

My built in rinser on my 310gk solitude manual says MINimum of 45 lbs pressure. I first used it with a pressure regulator and it made a funney noise and didnt work so well. without the regulator at 70 lbs pressure, seems to work great. Not sure what the MAX pressure would be?

GD uses a fixed rinse sprayer meaning no rotating parts. The limitation for pressure really is you swivel connection in the wet bay and crimps on the plumbing connections from there to the tank rinser. I have encountered many campgrounds delivering 80psi and more at the spigot on full.

Might note that running pressure on an open system will be somewhat lower that static pressure. I've had no issues with the flush system in five years of ownership.

Safe Travels.

Absolutely use a regulator!

If you don’t use a regulator I would turn the value on slowly to reduce surge to the plumbing, that feels like it reduces risk

I've never used a regulator on the black tank spray for any camper I've ever owned. For the most part it's an open ended system with minimal pressure buildup, it's not the same as having city water pressurized with all your faucets shut.
