Black and Gray Water Holding Tank Maintenance黑色和灰色的持水坦克维修
We use a filter between campground water tap and our RV water intake, fabric softener in the blackwater tank, and have used bleach (in small amounts) to purify water.我们使用一个过滤器之间的露营水龙头和我们的RV取水口，织物柔软剂，在黑水坦克，并用漂白水（在少量） ，净化水。 We carry disposable gloves, waterless antibacterial soap, and a mask to use when emptying the tank.我们进行弃手套，无水抗菌肥皂，和口罩时要使用的排空坦克。
I am not comfortable with the amount of water and some of the chemicals listed in the Geo Method, but there are some good points in this article.我不是舒适与量的水和一些中所列化学品，土力工程处的方法，但也有一些好点，在这方面的文章。 - Eileen -张爱玲

RV owners should be concerned with maintaining its wastewater tanks.风疹病毒的业主应该关注与维持其废水的坦克。 Problems with wastewater tanks can and should be avoided.问题与废水的坦克可以，而且应该是可以避免的。 Wastewater tank repair is expensive.废水坦克维修是很昂贵的。 Due to health concerns, many service facilities will not work on wastewater tanks and lines until the tanks have been completely emptied and sanitized.由于对健康的关注，许多服务设施将不会工作，对废水的坦克和线，直到坦克已被完全掏空和消毒。 This may be quite difficult when the tank(s) is in need of repair.这可能是相当困难的，当坦克（ ）是在需要修理。 So, common sense dictates that the tanks should be kept relatively clean at all times.因此，常识，坦克应保持相对清洁。 Additionally, improper use of the wastewater tanks can lead to a build up of solid wastes, which in itself may cause the system to fail.此外，使用不当，废水坦克可以导致一个建立固体废物的，这本身可能会导致系统失败。
I’ve discovered very simple, effective, and inexpensive methods of maintaining my wastewater tanks in a relatively clean condition at all times.我已经发现很简单，有效，廉价的方法，保持我国废水坦克在一个相对干净的条件，在任何时候。 I developed these methods myself through my understanding of chemistry, physics, and biology with a smidgen of common sense thrown in for good measure. i开发这些方法我自己通过我的理解，化学，物理，生物与smidgen普通常识抛在良好的措施。 I also read my RV owner’s manual.我也看过我的RV车主手册。 Although we are not full time RVers we use our fifth wheel camper at least one weekend a month.虽然我们没有充分的时间rvers我们使用我们的第五轮野营至少有一个周末，一个月。 We never use public bathing and toilet facilities.我们从来没有使用公共浴室和厕所设施。 In other words, our wastewater tanks are fairly heavily used.在其他换句话说，我们的废水坦克相当严重。 Since I’ve met a number of RVers who don’t seem to know how to maintain their wastewater tanks I thought many RVers would find my tips useful.既然我已经会见了一些rvers谁似乎并不知道如何维持其废水的坦克，我以为很多rvers会找到我的秘诀是有用的。 If you have not been maintaining your tanks I believe you will be pleasantly surprised the first time you employ these tips.如果您还没有一直保持你的坦克，我相信你会惊喜在您第一次雇用这些秘诀。 I do these things and they work.我手边这些事情，他们的工作。
RVs are equipped with waste water HOLDING tanks; NOT septic tanks. rvs均设有废水控股坦克;没有化粪池。 Those holding tanks are nothing more than chamber pots.那些持有坦克，只不过是多厅盆。 Chamber pots should be cleaned and sanitized after their contents are disposed of.商会盆应清洗和消毒后，其内容处理。 The Geo Method is based on this fact.土力工程处的方法是基于这个事实。
1. 1 。 DUMP A FULL TANK转储全面坦克
When you are camping and your RV is connected to a sewer/septic intake, leave the drain valves closed until the tank is full and ready to dump.当您和您的露营的RV是连接到下水道/化粪池进水口，离开流失的阀门关闭，直到坦克是充分和准备转储。 Dumping a full tank provides a sufficient quantity of water to flush solids from the tank.倾销全面坦克提供了足够数量的水冲洗固体从坦克。 Leaving the drain valves open allows the water to drain off without flushing out solid waste.离开流失的阀门打开，让水流失，没有冲厕出来的固体废物。 That solid waste will collect in the tank(s) and cause problems over time.认为，固体废物将收集在坦克（ S ）和事业的问题，随着时间的推移。 If your tanks are not full when you are ready to dump them, fill them with fresh water first, and then dump them.如果您的坦克不充分，当您准备好转储，填补他们的食水，然后再倾倒。
2. 2 。 DUMP TANKS IN ORDER FROM DIRTIEST TO CLEANEST转储坦克，以便从肮脏的，以洁净的
In other words, dump the black (commode) water tank first, then dump the galley tank, then dump the bathroom tank.在其他换言之，转储黑色（ commode ）水箱第一，然后转储厨房水缸，然后转储浴室坦克。 This way you will be flushing out the dirtiest water with progressively cleaner water.通过这种方式，您将冲厕出肮脏的水，逐步明净的水质。
3. 3 。 USE WATER SOFTENER, DETERGENT, and CHLORINE BLEACH使用水柔软剂，洗涤剂，和氯漂白剂
This stuff is amazing and it works.这是了不起的东西和它的工程。 Buy a couple of boxes of powdered water softener at the grocery store.买一两箱水的粉状柔软剂在杂货店。 You’ll find it located with or near the laundry detergent products.你会发现它位于与或附近的洗涤剂产品。 I prefer Calgon Water Softener because it dissolves quickly in water.我宁愿卡尔冈水柔软剂，因为它很快溶解在水中。 Cheaper water softeners work just as well but dissolve more slowly.便宜的水柔软剂的工作，正如良好，但溶解速度要慢得多。 Dissolve two (2) cups of the water softener in a gallon of hot water.解散两（ 2 ）杯水柔软剂在一加仑的热水。 Then, pour the solution down the drain into the empty tank.然后，倒入解决下来，流失到空坦克。 Use two cups of softener for each wastewater tank in your RV.使用两个杯柔软剂为每个废水坦克在您的RV 。 The tank’s drain valve should be closed otherwise the softened water will just drain out.该坦克的外流阀应关闭，否则软化水将刚才流失。 Then use the tank(s) normally until it is full and drain it normally.然后使用坦克（ ）通常，直至它充分和流失，它通常。 Add a cup of laundry detergent to the black (commode) water tank at the same time you add water softener.新增杯洗涤剂，以黑（ commode ）水箱在同一时间，你加水柔软剂。 This will help clean the tank.这将有助于清洁坦克。 The gray water tanks should already contain soap through normal use.灰色水箱应该已经包含了肥皂，通过正常使用。
Water softener makes the solid waste let go from the sides of the tanks.水柔软剂，使固体废物放手由两岸的坦克。 If you’ve ever taken a shower in softened water you know that after rinsing the soap from your body your skin will feel slick.如果您以往任何时候都采取了淋浴在软化水，你知道后，清洗肥皂，从你的身体你的皮肤会感到光滑。 That’s because all the soap rinses away with soft water.这是因为所有肥皂rinses远离与软水。 Softened water also prevents soap scum from sticking in the tub.软化水也可以防止肥皂败类从坚持在浴缸中。 Get the connection?得到连接呢？ With softened water gunk washes away instead of sticking.与软化水gunk冲走而不是坚持。 The same thing applies to your RV’s wastewater tanks.同样的事情适用于您的RV的废水坦克。
I use a clear plastic elbow connector to attach my sewer drain line to the wastewater outlet on my RV.我用一个明确的塑料弯头连接器重视我的污水排水管道，以废水的出路就我的RV 。 It allows me to see how well things are progressing during a wastewater dump.它可以让我看看如何，以及事情的进展，在废水倾倒。 Before I began using water softener regularly the black water tank’s water was brown, the galley tank’s water was brownish, and the bathroom tank’s water was white.之前，我开始使用水柔软剂定期黑色水箱的水，布朗，厨房水缸的水是棕，和浴室坦克的水是白色。 The first time I added water softener to the tanks the water coming from the black water tank was actually black (not brown) and the kitchen tank’s water was also black (not brownish).我第一次在补充水柔软剂，以坦克的水来自黑色水箱，实际上是黑色（不布朗）和厨房的水缸的水也是黑色（不棕） 。 The bathroom tank’s water remained white.浴室坦克的水仍然是白色。 That told me that the water softener had actually done what I had intended for it to do and made solid waste, which had been stuck to the interior of the tanks, let go and drain away.这告诉我，水柔软剂，其实是做了什么我本来打算为它做的和作出的固体废物，已坚持以内部坦克，放手，并清理。 I added water softener (and laundry detergent to the black tank) to all the wastewater tanks for the next few dumps to be certain all the solid waste possible had been cleaned away.我已将水柔软剂（和洗涤剂，以黑色坦克）的所有废水坦克在未来数倾卸场，以一定的所有固体废物可能已被清理。 The wastewater only appeared black on the initial treatment.废水中仅出现黑色就初步治疗。 I now add water softener and detergent to each tank once after every few dumps to maintain the system.我现在加水柔软剂和洗涤剂，以每罐一次后，每隔数倾卸场，以维持系统。
Too little water softener may not be of sufficient concentration to work effectively.太少，水柔软剂，未必有足够的浓度，以有效地开展工作。 Too much water softener will NOT hurt the tanks.太多的水柔软剂不会伤害坦克。 So, if the amount you used didn’t quite do the job, then use more the next time.因此，如果您所使用的金额不大做工作，然后使用更多的未来时间。 Don’t forget the laundry detergent.不要忘了洗涤剂。
Occasionally, I pour a half gallon of liquid bleach into each tank to deodorize, sanitize and disinfect them.偶尔，我倒半加仑的液体漂白水，每罐deodorize ，消毒和消毒。 I add the bleach when the tank is about half full, and then continue to use the tank normally until it is full and ready to dump.添加漂白水时，坦克的一半左右，充分，然后继续使用坦克，通常直到它是充分和准备转储。 I no longer use the blue toilet chemical because it isn’t necessary.我不再使用蓝厕所化学，因为这是没有必要的。 I have no odors coming from my black water tank.我没有气味的未来从我的黑色水箱。 The chlorine bleach kills the bacteria, which is primarily responsible for waste water tank odor.含氯漂白水杀死细菌，这是主要负责废物水箱气味。 Generic brand liquid bleach is cheap and very effective.通用品牌液体漂白水是廉价的和非常有效。
4. 4 。 USE A WATER FILTER ON YOUR FRESH WATER INTAKE LINE使用水过滤器对你的新鲜取水口线
Most fresh water contains sediment.最新鲜的水中含有泥沙。 Sediment will accumulate in your wastewater tanks and your fresh water lines.沉积物会积聚在您的废水坦克和您的淡水线。 It also tends to discolor your sinks, tub/shower, and commode.它也往往会变色您的水槽，浴缸/淋浴， commode 。 I use the disposable type and have found that they eventually fill up and begin restricting the fresh water flow resulting in low pressure.我用即弃型，并已发现，他们最终填补，并开始限制食水流量，造成低气压。 That’s how I know it’s time to get a new filter.这就是我如何知道它的时间来获得一个新的过滤器。 It works, it’s cheap, it avoids problems, do it.它的工程，它的廉价，它避免了问题，这样做。 When I fill my fresh water tank I attach the filter to the end of the hose and fill the tank with filtered water.当我填补我的食水供应坦克附上筛选到去年底，软管，并填写坦克与过滤的水。
SOME OTHER THOUGHTS其他一些思考
WATER, WATER, WATER - and more water!水，水，水-和更多的水！ The Geo Method assumes you are hooked up to a plentiful clean water supply, and that you have access to a sewer.土力工程处的方法，假设您是连接到一个丰富的清洁食水供应，并且您已进入一个污水渠。 The water softener will make the gunk let go.水柔软剂将使gunk放过。 That’s only half the battle.这是只有一半的战斗。 After the gunk lets go it must then be flushed through the relatively small drain opening in the bottom of the tank.后gunk让去，它便须把通过相对较小的流失，开放在底部的坦克。 That takes water.需水。 Lots of water.大量的水。 I use a Flush King (Google it) to make rinsing more effective and faster.我使用冲水国王（ Google的） ，使漂洗更有效和快速。
CAUTION should be used when mixing chemicals.谨慎时，应使用混合的化学品。 All I did when I came up with The Geo Method was use normal laundry products (water softener, laundry detergent, and chlorine bleach) and put them in the holding tanks which already contain water.我所做的，当我想出了土力工程处的方法是使用正常的洗衣房产品（水柔软剂，洗涤剂，和氯漂白剂） ，把他们举行的坦克，其中已经包含了水。 I was NOT experimenting with chemicals.我不是实验的化学品。 I simply applied laundry chemicals in normal combination to the waste water tanks.我只是适用于洗衣房化学品在正常的结合，以废物水箱。 There are chemical products under your kitchen sink, in your laundry room, and in your garage that can injure or kill you when mixed.有化工产品，根据您的厨房洗涤槽，在您洗衣房，并在您的车库可以伤害或杀死你时，好坏参半。 If you can do your laundry without harming yourself you can successfully employ The Geo Method.如果您可以做您的洗衣房，又不损害自己，您可以成功地雇用，土力工程处的方法。 Don’t go playing around with novel chemical combinations concocted from household products.不去玩弄与新颖的化学组合，从炮制的家用产品。
What was novel about The Geo Method was not in the combination of chemicals (all household laundry products intended to be used in combination) but in their application in cleaning RV waste water tanks.什么是小说，土力工程处的方法是在不相结合的化学品（所有家庭洗衣产品打算用来在组合） ，但在其应用在清洁的RV废物水箱。 Common experience, if you’ve done laundry, tells you The Geo Method is safe.共同的经验，如果您已经做了洗衣房，告诉您，土力工程处的方法是安全的。 Doing laundry doesn’t damage your washing machine, rot out your plumbing, or destroy waste water treatment systems.这样做洗衣房，不会损害您的洗衣机，腐了你的水管，或销毁废水处理系统。 The Geo Method won’t either.土力工程处的方法不会。 However, substituting other cleaning agents may not be safe.不过，而代以其他清洁剂未必安全。
There’s nothing special or fragile about the materials used in RV plumbing.有没有什么特别或脆弱的有关材料中使用的RV水管。 RV plumbing materials are made from the same stuff that household plumbing is made from.风疹病毒水管材料是由相同的东西，家庭水管是从。 The problem arises in figuring out how to clean and sanitize the inaccessible interior of a holding tank.出现问题，在搞清楚如何清洁和消毒的进入内部控股坦克。 Water softener prevents gunk from adhering to the inside of the tanks, detergent removes the dirt, and chlorine bleach kills germs/odors.水柔软剂，防止gunk从坚持以内部的坦克，洗涤剂去除污垢，和氯漂白水杀死细菌/气味。 Soaking gives the chemicals time to work.浸泡使化学品的时间去工作。 Agitating the mix by driving down the road helps the process.搅拌混合通过拉低道路，有助于这一进程。 Think of it this way; you can put some really nasty stuff in your washing maching, yet the inside of the washing maching doesn’t get dirty.想到这个问题，因为这种方式;你可以把一些真正恶劣的东西在您的清洗机，但内部的清洗加工不脏。 It stays clean - right?保持清洁-对不对？ Same goes for your automatic dish washer.同样，为您的自动洗碟。 The same thing applies to RV holding tanks.同样的事情适用于右心室控股坦克。
Those people who claim The Geo Method is somehow harmful just plain don’t know what they’re talking about.这些人谁索赔土力工程处的方法是有点有害刚才平原不知道他们是怎么谈。 Their objections defy common sense and common experience.他们的反对无视普通常识和共同的经验。 Anyone who thinks The Geo Method is harmful has a simple soultion available to their simple minded concerns - don’t use it.任何人谁认为土力工程处的方法是有害的有一个简单的soultion提供给他们简单的头脑所关注的-不要使用它。 At one time, daily bathing was thought by some to be harmful to one’s health, and they argued against it advising others to remain dirty.在同一时间，每天洗澡，被认为是由一些有害于一个人的健康，他们辩称，反对意见，其他人仍然很脏。 Those who object to The Geo Method fall into the same category of enlightened thought.这些谁反对土力工程处的方法，属于同一类别的开明思想。
Will The Geo Method work even if most of the time I’m NOT hooked up to water and sewer?将土力工程处的工作方法，即使大部分的时间我不挂，以供水和排污？ YES!是！ Just use common sense.只需使用普通常识。 If you dry camp ninety percent of the time just keep water softener and detergent in your tanks (especially the black tank) while you’re dry camping.如果你干阵营90 ％的时间，只是保持水柔软剂和洗涤剂在您的坦克（尤其是黑色坦克） ，而您干露营。 This will keep gunk from sticking to the tanks.这将保持gunk从坚持以坦克。 When you are hooked up to sewer and water take the opportunity to fill the tanks with fresh water and flush the tanks.当您连接到下水道和水借此机会，以填补坦克与食水和冲厕坦克。 Keep flushing them until the water runs clear.保持冲厕他们，直至其水质运行清楚的。 I know it works because I’ve done it.我知道这工程，因为我已经这样做。
Never put regular toilet tissue in your RV’s black tank.从来没有向经常卫生纸在你的RV的黑色坦克。 Only use toilet tissue which is approved for RV and/or septic tank use.只使用卫生纸是核定的RV和/或化粪池使用。 Regular toilet tissue may eventually dissolve, but not before causing a clog in your black tank.定期卫生纸最终可能会解散，但不前，造成阻塞在您的黑色坦克。
Occasionally traveling with partially filled wastewater tanks containing softened water and detergent promotes cleaning by agitating the water.偶尔旅行与部分充液废水坦克载有软化的水和洗涤剂，促进清洗搅拌水。 The same goes for chlorine bleach.同样，氯漂白剂。
I believe this process works faster and more efficiently during warm weather.我相信这个工程的过程中更快和更有效地在温暖的天气。 However, I know it works well even during cool/cold weather.不过，我知道它运作良好，即使在酷/天气寒冷的时候。
The process works best the longer the water softener and detergent remains in the tanks.过程工程的最佳时间越长，水柔软剂和洗涤剂，依然保持在坦克。 So, I don’t add water softener during periods of heavy wastewater generation.所以，我不加水柔软剂期间沉重的废水的一代。 I wait until I know we won’t be generating wastewater quickly so that the softened water remains in the tanks for several days before dumping. i等到我知道我们不会因此而产生的废水很快使该软化水，依然保持在坦克，数天前倾倒。
If you have an older RV you may have to use water softener and detergent several times initially to completely clean the tanks of residue.如果您有一个老年人的RV您可能必须使用水柔软剂和洗涤剂多次最初完全干净的坦克残留。
I add a small amount of chlorine bleach to the fresh water tank twice a year to disinfect and sanitize the fresh water tank and fresh water lines.我想补充少量的氯漂白水，以新鲜水箱每年举行两次消毒及消毒食水坦克和食水供应线。 A weak chlorine bleach solution will not hurt you.弱氯漂白水不会伤害你。 However, it certainly makes the water taste bad.不过，这当然使水味道不错。 When we have chlorine in the fresh water system we use bottled water for drinking and cooking until the chlorine is gone.当我们有氯的食水系统，我们使用的瓶装水供饮用和做饭，直到氯是荡然无存。 YES, we drink the filtered water that we have in the fresh water tank.是的，我们喝过滤的水，我们已在食水坦克。 NO, it has never tasted funny or caused any problems.没有，但却从来没有尝到搞笑或造成任何问题。
No, I do NOT do the ice cube thing.不，我不这样做冰块的事。 The Geo Method works just fine without ice cubes.土力工程处的工程方法，只是罚款，没有冰块。
My tanks are plastic and my pipes are PVC.我的坦克是塑胶制品及我的管道是聚氯乙烯。
Don’t be afraid to use your tanks.不要害怕使用您的坦克。 Just use common sense about their care and maintenance.只需使用普通常识对他们的照顾和保养。
These tips are inexpensive to do.这些秘诀是便宜的事。 Some of them don’t cost anything.他们中的一些不任何费用。 You have nothing to lose in trying them and I encourage you to do so.你有什么可失去的在尝试他们和我鼓励你们这样做。 I actually feel a certain amount of pride in the condition and cleanliness of both my waste and fresh water systems.其实我觉得一定数额的引以自豪的条件和清洁我的废物和食水供应系统。 Naturally, these tips make dumping a much more pleasant and sanitary procedure.当然，这些提示，使倾销更为舒适及卫生的程序。
If you have odors in any of your water systems these procedures should eliminate them.如果您有异味，在您的任何供水系统的这些程序应消除它们。 Odors indicate a sanitary problem and degrade the enjoyment you derive from your RV.气味表明，卫生问题和降解享受你来自您的RV 。
When my RV is parked and not in use I place stoppers in the sink and tub drains.当我的RV是停泊在不使用我把塞子，在下沉和浴盆的排水渠。 This forces the wastewater tanks to vent through the vent pipes to the outside instead of through the drains into the RV.这个部队的废水坦克发泄通过发泄管道，向外界而不是通过排水渠到的RV 。 Water evaporates.水的蒸发。 Once the drain traps dry out during periods of non-use, nothing is there to prevent gasses (odor) from venting into the camper.一旦流失陷阱干期间不使用，没有什么是有，以防止气体（气味）由宣泄到野营。 Use stoppers when your RV is stored.使用塞子当您的RV是储存。
