BLACK TANK FLUSH SYSTEM

Does anyone know or have a diagram of the Black Tank Flush system that is factory installed on the 2011 Monty's (ours is the 2011 3455SA model).
I would also like to know what the spray pattern is of the flush.
Is this asking too much? I like to know these things.

This basic diagram should give you an idea of what the spray head in the tank looks like. Behind your convenience center connection, a plastic tube travels to a backflow preventer then on down to the black tank difuser connection.

It's not a big deal, that's why it won't clean the sensors.

Our dealer told us to toss a bag a two of ice into the tank along with half a cup of Purple Power and a gallon or two of water after we dump and then travel. He said it would not prevent the sensors from eventually going out, but it should slow it down some. Haven't stuck my head in to inspect the results, but the method makes some sense.

Dealer gave us the same recipe and like you, haven't been in to look around. Sounds like a good idea though.

I use Calgon Water softener and that has always worked well in our RVs and boats. We then add a 1/4 cup of fabric softener for odor control. The Calgon really makes sides of tanks slipery. I add some to gray tanks as well. We use only dawn to wash dishes. Try to keep grease down to minimum.
