RV Waste Water Disposal

Problems And Health Risks

Most RVer's do not spend much time thinking about RV Waste Water Disposal. They probably spend even less time on thinking about how their waste water is dealt with once they have dumped. They are simply glad to be rid of it so they can fill their tanks again.

Safe RV Waste Water Disposal depends on having healthy Beneficial Bacteria in your RV Waste Water System. The easiest way to do this is to Create Safe RV Waste Water by minimizing the use of products that contain Chemicals Dangerous to your health and environment you live in.

RV Waste Water Disposal Problems

Be aware of what you put into your RV Holding Tanks. It could be creating a costly nightmare for you and polluting our environment. Some of the RV Waste Water Disposal problems to be aware of include:

* Slow Or Clogged RV Holding Tank Drains

* Bacteria Killing Ingredients in your RV Holding Tanks

* RV Waste Water Disposal Health Risks

* Chemical laden RV Waste Water Environmental Impacts

* Placing of No Chemical Dumping Signs at many RV Dump Locations

* Ground Water Pollution Problems from Chemicals in RV Waste Water

Slow Or Clogged RV Holding Tank Drains

The most common and unpleasant Waste Water Disposal problems are slow or clogged drains. This problem is usually caused by the build-up of solids or toilet tissues. They build up and slow or eventually clog the drains.

You can eliminate slow drains and clogging problems by:

* Not emptying the black water tank unless it is at least 3/4 full.

* Only use Bacterial Digestant Products. They will Digest Organic Wastes, turn them into carbon dioxide and ensure your RV Waste Water flows freely.

* When using Bacterial Digestant Products, leave several gallons of RV Waste Water on the bottom of each of your Waste Water Holding Tanks.

This Waste Water will contain millions of Hungry Bacteria. They will be patiently waiting for you to add more Organic Wastes to your almost empty tanks. They need Organic Wastes to feed on so they can multiply and digest more wastes.

Remember, that best Bacterial Digestant Products contain Friendly Bacteria and they need the food in your holding tanks to live. The more you leave in the more mature they become and the less you need to add each time.

RV Waste Water Bacteria Killing Ingredients

Avoid Chemical Holding Tank Treatments

You could be creating havoc on your RV Waste Water System by killing Friendly Bacteria. Remember, Mother Nature's Bacterial Digestion Process uses beneficial bacteria to eliminate wastes.

Help her along, don't hinder her.

If you are using a Dangerous Chemical, a good flushing is in order. If you are using a good bacterial product you can skip this step. That is unless you want to spend more money on treatment products than you need to.

Save Money. Switch From Chemical To Bacterial Digestant Products

RV Waste Water Disposal Health Risks

Be watchful of how the previous RVer's have used the dump station. You will notice inexperienced or lazy RVer's rinsing out their sewer hoses with the dump stations drinking water hoses.

In case you don't know, sewage bacteria can cling to almost anything and often do. Where do you think these bacteria will go when you fill your drinking water tank using the same hose?

Disposable gloves are a must. Another good practise is to have a spray bottle containing a Bacterial Digestant to spray on any spillage.

RV Waste Water Disposal Downstream Impacts

Where Does It Go? What Impacts? The answer is very simple.

When you empty your RV Holding Tanks, the wastewater flows down the sewer connection or dump station drain and ends up in a Septic System or a Waste Water Treatment System.

The System your RV Waste Water ends up in will be that of the RV Park, Campground or Public Sewer Utility. The recipient of your RV Waste Water simply inherits any problems that the chemicals in your sewage might create.

Many RVer's are unaware that some of the chemicals they dispose of in their RV Holding Tanks are not treated by the Septic or Waste Water Treatment System.

Many of these Wastewater treatment systems simply do not have the facilities, or funds to create the systems required to deal with all Wastewater Chemicals. The result is that many of the Dangerous Chemicals in the Holding Tank Treatments they are using simply flow through the Waste Water Treatment System into the groundwater.

RV Waste Water No Chemical Dumping Signs

Many RV parks, Campgrounds and Waste Water Treatment Systems are now posting "No Chemical Dumping" signs to reduce impacts and costs of Chemicals in RV Waste Water.

RV Waste Water Ground Water Pollution

There is a major Ground Water Pollution problem in many areas of the country. Because of this, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is changing rules and regulations on Septic and Waste Water Systems throughout the country.

The EPA is proceeding to Improve Ground Water Quality by enforcing these new rules. These new rules will affect the Operation and Maintenance of Septic and Waste Water Treatment Systems throughout the country.

In time, this will affect your pocket book. When this change in Rules and Regulations forces offending RV Parks to clean up their act, they will have to pass the costs onto You guessed it, RVer's.
