I dump my RV tank into my septic system at my own home. I know my septic system is proper, so I am not the least bit concerned. Same stuff different toilet.

A sewer line with proper fall will not flow backwards. I assume your sewer has sufficient fall or you would have sewer back up issues regularly.

Also, your sewer pump in the basement has a check...

Oh yeah, because of the bypass valve it would automatically fill the wh tank with antifreeze without a check valve (while winterizing). The bypass makes the entire water supply system one pipe loop....

So the purpose of the bypass valve is so the wh does not fill with antifreeze while winterizing. The check valve on the hot side after the tank prevents antifreeze from entering the tank via back...

Rice, thanks for the input. There are no obstacles such as concrete.

The sewer can be installed flush enough to not be an issue. I can get a countersunk plug for the cap.
