Shower Water Backs Up

I would think a low tote, drain some gray into it then find a discrete place to dispose might be a solution, but disclaimer....I am not advocating one way or the other.

That varies by state, Arizona considers it black water if it has any food particles in it, which, anything from your kitchen sink normally would. It is not allowed to be drained on the ground.

Just an FYI, not all states treat everything equally.

Agreed. It's completely illegal in California once the water has hit the grey tank to drain it to the ground. I'd be surprised if other states don't regulate this too?

FWIW, like someone else said, we use a plastic tub that fits the shape of our kitchen sink that catches the water used for dishes etc. Since this water has not gone through the grey tank, it can legally be dumped outside as needed. Or, again as someone else mentioned, it can be dumped directly into the black tank via the toilet. Both options save valuable storage capacity in the grey tank when boondocking.

Weird... now I'm getting the warning too. When I posted the link the first time, I had connected to the website in question via my bookmarks (I use Firefox as a browser).

Try this link. It'll be the first hit, and it seems to work for me with no warnings.

PVC pipe sanded to size with O ring groove cut in and a pipe cap.... will seal it good enough for :slosh: issues. In looking at the mounts on my TT tanks thinking 40 gallons at 8 pounds per gallon is more than I would want sloshing around if you have 40 fresh / 40 gray and 40 black. 320+ pounds in motions has a bit of force / load....
