Inside cleaning - the tanks, that is!

While we were at Palm Springs Thousand Trails, we decided to get our grey and black tanks cleaned. As I mentioned a few days ago (https://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2017/12/tank-measurements.html), we are thinking about getting a See Level tank monitoring system. We've found the prices online and figure we will price it at the RV Show in Quartzsite this month to see if we can get a better deal - if not, we can order it when we're in Yuma in February.

In preparation for that, it was recommended that we have our tanks cleaned, and the service recommended on the Wanderlodge Owner Group was All Pro Water Flow. Since the passage to our tanks is "unique" compared to other motorhomes, we decided to go with something that other owners had also used.

There was an ad in the Palm Springs materials that there was a local provider for All Pro Water Flow, so we called and arranged for Chic to come while we were there.

He added a connector to our sewer output and threaded a hose with a high powered sprayer into the tank. The tanks were empty as far as we could make them when he started, but he got a lot of "stuff" out - much of it white hard water scale from the hard water that we have experienced in various campgrounds around the country. He said that our tanks were actually pretty clean compared to some that he has dealt with - it seems that some people wait until their systems are completely out of service before calling him... not good!

This was the machine that took water in from the campground and sent out high pressure water into the tank. We can't remember the PSI that he told us, but he told Dwayne that the water would cut you if your skin were exposed to it. The tubing was wrapped with Kevlar.

I was just reading on their website (http://allprowaterflow.com/default.asp) and it indicates that the water pressure is 500-3000 psi.
