My experience with the Sewer Solution.

[ELM-JLM]

I have seen and read a lot about the SS and like what I see! The reason I haven't acted on it is, I have used the old way for so long and have had no mishaps! Besides that, I have seldom been to a dump station that didn't have a line! I, for one, would be peeved if the guy ahead of me was watching a hose and waiting for it to run clear! The dump, rinse and go is SOP! On a campsite w/sewer the SS is ideal if you are there for awhile since its nearly odor free while in use and very clean!

PS: Billy, can the SS water flow be reversed to do a secondary rinse?

Yes you can use the SS to back-flush the Thetford, just have to learn how long to let the water run, I have it written down on the hose which I can't get to right now (love magic markers). I will use a stinky slinky if I am at a place that has sewer connection, (but I wear gloves so no messy). I boon dock a lot so I have devised a method where I can park the camper in the garage and use my ss to drain the tanks into a 4 inch sewer line. (commode just inside the door with trap door and clean out in garage). If I left stuff in the camper I open it in the drive, do the drain while I unload and clean things inside, run water through Thetford and flush, remove the SS, drop her down and into the garage as well.

I do from time to time make sure I use a dump station, just cause. I have never had any issues after 2 years of use.

Dave did a good job with his answer so I will just add to it:

The Sewer Solution has an adjustable jet that you can point
1. Directly towards the hose.
2. Directly towards the Drain Pipe.
3. Or anywhere between the drain pipe & the 3/4" drain hose.

I personally have found if I point it at a slight angle to the 3/4" hose it breaks up solids well & drains good.

After it finishes I always back flush the Drain pipe into the Thetford as much as it can get that is. Which seems to work well as I have said since I had to open ours up for repair in 2010.




P.S. I would never use it at a public Dump Station due to it being slower draining because it uses a 3/4" drain hose. But it would make it allot easier to drain maybe at your house if needed.

One of my favorite things about the SS is it is very clean & even self cleans itself before storage. Oh & it also is very compact although I still carry my Standard Sewer Hose also just in case it is needed.
