Is it me or should the hose inlet be facing the black water tank to help flush the tank?

All trailers are different angle pipes so it can't be made like that. The design of this is not to spray a water jet up the pipe but to back up fresh water into the tank to flush it out (rather than stand on the peddle of the toilet for 10 minutes). Because of how easy it is to do, I will flush it in the middle of the camping trip if i get bored and keep the smell down that way. Anyway, there are flushers designed to shoot a jet up the black water pipe, but they have very poor reviews because you only get one angle which most likely wont reach the tank because of trailers all being made with different angle pipes.

Frank, this back flush tool works great. Just hook it to the external drain port, then couple your drain hose to the opposite side. It can only hook up one way. Open black water valve and the flush king valve. Drain backwater tank, then close flush king valve and back flush the black tank. Do this several times until the water runs clear. Do the same for the gray water. I hope this helps you

The purpose is to rapidly fill the holding tank, thus allowing the added water to mix with what remained after the initial flush. If you feel the need to pressure wash the tank, you're probably going to have better success by injecting a pressure wand from the toilet area than trying to shove it up the drain line.

Yes, the water inlet is on the tank drain side and the large shutoff is next to the drain hose. There is a small shutoff on the water hose inlet so black water should never get into the hose, but I took one of my old water hoses to use for the back flush and no longer use it for fresh water to use in the camper/

it is normally. it really doesn't matter from an engineering standpoint tho. the head loss through the water presence and the first bend negates any additional flow work accomplished by the orientation of the inlet. filling the tank partially accomplishes more cleaning than inlet orientation. I have both orientations, and found spraying from the toilet or installed flush apparatus is most effective.

Do you have the water going into the inlet side of the heater? Had mine in wrong when I first tried to start it

Is this an initial set up?First thing to check is that you have the intake and discharge lines on the correct sides. Second is something clogging the intake.

read the instruction manual. there will be a section on this. i believe there's a "cap" that needs to be removed first. but it's likely you do not have the drain hose LOWER than the unit so it cannot flow correctly.

The unit works great - except for one thing. The pop-up indicator is useless - if you keep it tightened the air cannot escape and the tank won't completely fill. If you loosen it to allow the air to escape it doesn't work and all of a sudden you have black/grey water spewing out. The best way is just to remove it and keep a close eye on the level of waste (not TOO close or you'll get an eye full!!) The pneumatic tires are great, but do not come with air in them. Make sure you put air in before you use the tank.

On the inlet side or outlet side? I've used mine to empty my black water tank on my boat and the connection is about 5 feet from the tank with about 18 inches of rise. I have about 25 feet of hose on the outlet side and have had no problems.

It should sit flush, you must have done something wrong, mine sits level. Good luck

The best I can remember no the inlet on mine goes towards the back of machine .I did have to put washers under the pump it hits the frame without washers under it hope this bhelps

You may need to adjust the water height in the tank. My guess is that the water is too high and a little bit spills over the edge into the valve and reactivates it. Try turning the small pin on the side so that less water fills the tank when you flush.

At first it was straight up. Over the past week I see that it is at an angle.I have not tried to fix it. Even at an angle it still drains well.

the drain is locarted on the bottom left corner, i did install meself and am using it as auxillary diesel tank and has been working prefectly.

No, the drain hose takes the water thus eliminating the water filling the water tank

I have not had that symptom but I would immediately make sure that the tank is empty and also clean the filter. If a hose is used to drain the water to a drain I would make sure it does not have a kink in it. Usually a red light comes on for the tank and filter.

cold side which would be the inlet. Want the water softened before you go into the tankless system because the heating plates get corroded easily.

The clear prongs go on the sewer just after the black and gray valves. Then your hose goes the black part of the flush king. This way the clear let's you see if the flow is dirty or clean. Once you empty say your black tank leave the tank valve open but close the flush kings valve. Now open the fresh water to back fill with clean water. After a minute shut off water open flush king and water rinses out.

Mine wasn't seated good and was letting a small amount of water leak into the bowl. Once it's gets low on the float you hear the tank filling back up. That's the only way I would think of it alarming you.

No and the tank hanger set up is strange. I had to get a longer hose and do some adapting. Good grill if you are handy
