black tank flush

was dumping my tanks today after our trip to south Dakota, dumped before we left there and then re rinsed and dumped at the storage place. I hooded up to the black tank flush and started dumping my black tank and had water running out my low pressure hoses. while using my blank tank rinse.

If the valves are open, those are low point drains intended to drain the water system for winterization. They are supposedly hooked to all water lines and again, supposedly, are the lowest point.

Yes I agree they are closed. That's the first thing I rinse out when de-winterizing I run clear water thru then close
The low water hoses to off . That's why I thought it was strange running out there

Don't understand. If the valves are closed, how could water be coming out of them?

I'm not following this thread. Are you saying when water is running into black tank flush that water is coming out of a closed low point drain? Low point drain in no way hooked into flack tank flush.
Sure I'm just reading this thread wrong.

Bet your exactly right. On mine the black tank anti-siphon valve is in wall right above convenience center. Wrap a piece of tissue around drain pipe above the end. I would think it will get wet.
My bet is anti-siphon valve leaking.
