Rodger Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I looked through all 8 viewable pages of the water systems section and I didn't see anyone with my specific issue. If I leave the pump on a good bit of the time over a weekend the black tank will fill up. When I first experienced it after purchasing the coach last year I thought oh this should be easy. I have the model with the middle bathroom and the rear macerator type . I just figured one of the two had a leaking by water valve. I can't find any leakage, I mean none. Where else could water be coming from? Really has me stumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan K Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I suppose you would hear the pump cycling if there was a large enough leak to relieve accumulator pressure. Other option is some kind of tank flush arrangement that fills the tank but with no hookup it would still cycle the pump. Does it? Don’t know if the macerator has its own line, out of sight, that could leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 To my knowledge only the toilet/s and the flushing line are the only two things going into that tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 You need to take a really close look at your toilets. The Black Tank Flush system only works with shore water. It's not hooked up to your water pump at all. Well, at least my Windsor and Dynasty are like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ray Davis Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Yeah that's rather odd, never heard of that before. There are just a few ways for water to enter the black tank, those being the toilets or the black tank flush / sprayer. Even if you had a leak at a comode you would need to have 2 leaks, a leaking water valve and a leaking flush valve or it would over flow. However there is another remote possibility. If the sewer is capped and both grey and black valves are open grey water can flow up into the black tank. Boondockers use this to gain more capacity for grey water.

Rodger Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 Thanks for the replies. The other thing I have thought is maybe it is intermittent on one of the valves leaking by and I am just not catching it. I may just rebuild everything and see if it fixes it. Thanks again.

96 EVO Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Some manufacturers would plumb a vanity sink into the black tank. Don't know if Monaco ever did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Rodger, If you have your flush set up like mine and that faucet leaks, I could see that happen without noticeable toilet leaks. See pic. However, I have a faucet valve and a diverted valve that would have to leak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ray Davis Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Steven, is that a timer on your tank flush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Ray, that's a meter. Pretty accurate and helps me keep that black tank flushed better and not back flow. Water pressures vary so much, I'd never know how many gallons I'm adding back. Now I know when to stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 I don't have my flush set up that way, only hook up the flush when I dump. Must just be missing the leak by when it is happening. Hail State? Where are you in Alabama? I go back and forth from my place in Mississippi to my fiance in Bham area. We have to find a place soon, I don't think the neighbors like me parking a 40' bus in the street when I am in it at her place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven, that's a great idea. Did you buy it or order it. I have just used the hit & miss that's enough method, but your meter is much better.

Steven P Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Amazon purchase. Just looked and mine may not be available but a similar one is. Has a battery and turns on when water flows and off after a couple minutes.
