Black Water Tank Mobile Toilet

The black water tank is an important sewage discharge device used for collecting excrement in RVs and mobile toilets. The following is an introduction from three aspects: the application of black water tanks in RVs, operation methods, and the rental business of black water mobile toilets.

Application of Black Water Tanks in RVs

• Excrement Collection: In RVs, black water tanks are usually placed on the side of the vehicle body to collect excrement. When the black water tank is full, it will send out an alarm signal to remind the user. The intelligent biological toilets equipped in RVs use the principle of biodegradation to break down excrement through degradation materials such as bacteria and coconut shells. Generally, the degradation material is replaced once every 60 days for one person and every 30 to 40 days for two people. The degraded substances can be used as fertilizer for growing flowers, etc.
• Multiple Sewage Discharge Systems: RVs are usually equipped with two sewage discharge systems: direct discharge and pull-out types. The pull-out type relies on the black water tank for sewage discharge. Thetford offers a variety of mobile sanitary equipment. Its cassette toilets can be fixedly installed in RVs and are equipped with detachable black water tanks, available in various models such as those that can rotate 180°. Electric macerating toilets use powerful macerating pumps to pump sewage horizontally up to 90 meters and vertically up to 11 meters, allowing the central black water tank in the vehicle to be installed flexibly. Direct discharge toilets use gravity for sewage discharge. The sewage is directly discharged into the central black water tank by gravity and then discharged out of the vehicle collectively.

Operation Methods of Black Water Tanks

• Extraction Operation: First, find the location of the black water tank. In most self-propelled Type C RVs, it is on the side of the vehicle body, and the black water tank door has a lock. To unlock it, press two buttons on the key simultaneously. Before pulling out the black water tank, close the funnel connecting the toilet inside the vehicle to the black water tank. Hold the handle, hook the unlock button, and then lift it up to pull it out. There are isolation plates and outer baffles between the toilet and the black water tank to ensure hygiene and privacy. The used black water tank is heavy, so it is recommended to hold it out steadily with both hands.
• Emptying and Cleaning: Choose an appropriate location to empty and clean the black water tank, and pay attention to the situation related to the dissolving agent.
