Where's The Water Coming From?

[TBrad9]

Hey all,
I've lived in my Whitehawk for over 2 years. Sometimes with full hook and sometimes, like now, I have electric and water but have to dump once a week or so by running the dump hose to the sewer drain on the property I'm on. For some reason my large gray tank (for tub) seems to be filling up quicker than before. I have 2 gray tanks and 1 black. In less than a week, doing small amounts of dishes and 2 quick showers it's full. Could there be a breach or other reason this is happening? Thank you!

I have two grays as well and they're full in 4 days with just my wife and I. Doesn't sound abnormal to me to dump once a week.

Is the gauge saying full or does it back up into the shower? If just the gauge they are notoriously in-accurate,

I agree with Grumpy. When it shows full keep running cold water to the shower or sink until it starts to back up in shower. Then you will know if gauges are off.
Many past posts about cleaning materials for tanks plus people who have replaced sensors or sensor systems to get a more accurate measure.

If it is full and shows full but does not empty several posts on that. If you can, run a hose back up the drain pipe with water running and see if you can break a clog.

Thanks...I'll do that when I empty. I, also, noticed it seems like it takes a long time to empty, as well!

I agree...gauges aren't always very accurate. Thank you!
