Black Tank Flush

I have a 2014 Hideout 29BHS. When I went to flush my black tank after our last outing I realized the water was not flowing to actually flush the tank. After searching threads, I concluded the Backflow prevention valve was not working. Today I bypassed the valve and I still have no water flow! Any further suggestions?

I found on mine the garden hose end did not have enough threads to make it seat properly to the valve connection. I used a different hose with longer threads and solved the problem. Good luck

I questioned that originally but I am now trying at home and still have problem with new hose and city water. I am getting water to the valve. Seems to me if something had it stopped at the tank it would simply be able to push it away especially with city water pressure...

You'd be suprised at how well "stuck crud" can stop the rinser, especially if it dries on the rinser. Last one I had like that, I filled the tank through the toilet with some digesters. It sat for 3 days and that cleared the rinser.

I may have to try that next. Thanks.

My FZ301 had a kinked hose new from dealer. Dealer had to drop the covering on the bottom and reroute it.
