We were spending a few nights in an RV park in the midst of Pennsylvania’s Amish country. The folks in the big Class A rig next to us were delightful people with an equally delightful little Golden Lab puppy named Autumn. Autumn’s “dad” noticed the little 3/4″ hose running from our travel trailer’s sewer outlet into the park’s sewer pipe and wanted to know about it.

So I explained that it is called the “Sewer Solution” and that, while I’ve got a regular 3″ hose just in case, I never use it because the Sewer Solution works so well. Instead of an expensive macerator pump, you simply hook park water to the Sewer Solution through a backflow preventer. The water blasts into the unit’s pump chamber through a high-pressure nozzle to break everything up as it exits the blackwater tank and force it through the 3/4″ discharge hose.

Only once in the four years I’ve been using the Sewer Solution did I think it was going to plug up and not work. We had gotten a free sample of some “super” toilet tissue at a camping supply outlet. Well, it wasn’t so “super!” We usually use Thetford, or some other single-ply, easily disintegrating TP. When I opened the gate valve a big, solid clump of this new paper plopped into the pump chamber and stopped it up. We had used a whole roll of it and I just knew there were more undissolved clumps of it in the tank. I won’t tell you what I had visions of, but they weren’t pretty!

One of the nice features of this device is that you can swivel the high pressure water jet to blast clean water back up into the tank and flush it out. If you’re ready to pack up and leave, once you’ve flushed out the tank, you just close the gate valve and rinse the pump chamber and discharge hose with clean water, disconnect everything and stow it away. No “messing” with a big, hard to clean standard sewer hose! Anyway, I swiveled the nozzle back and forth a few times and the water pressure broke up the paper clump and flushed it away. Yahoo!

There might be some situation in which this unit won’t work well, but I haven’t fount it yet. The Sewer Solution. Highly recommended.
