Sewer question

[jburgessx2]

Thanks. That sure would have been nice to know before tonight. . .

I guess I hadn't expected the bath sink to drain to the black water tank. Tough
lesson to learn. On my Beaver, only the blackwater was blackwater - all the
sinks/shower drained to gray water.

And, contrary to common belief, it doesn't smell like roses. Quite the
contrary, actually........

use it to clean the hose after I dump the black water. And, I have done this
for years and years and years with my Beaver. Well, I forgot to close my gray
water off to let it build up and I knew the black water was getting close to
full. So, I close the gray water gate and turn on the bathroom faucet to let
the gray water tank fill a little so I have some hose wash down water.

To my understanding, the black and gray water are never to meet or they can
contaminate the gray water tank or contaminate the gray water pipes (i.e.
sinks).

So, I have a little more cleaning/drying, as well as some serious disinfecting,
to do.
