Tanks used to collect waste water such as the black water or the grey water is referred to as holding tanks. These tanks are widely used in RVs and grey water recycling systems. Earlier RVs used to have common holding tank for collecting grey water and black water. Nowadays, many RVs have separate holding tanks installed for grey water and black water. The non-toilet waste water is collected in the grey water holding tank whereas the waste water from the toilet gets stored in the black water holding tank. Both the tanks have a common outlet that can be connect to the sewer.
In case of grey water recycling or diversion systems holding tanks are used to hold the grey water, till the time the pump is activated to divert the water it its destination. A timer is set to control the holding tank. If within the defined time frame the pump is activated then the waste water moves from the holding tank to the place where it is required however if the pump is not activated the holding tank dumps the grey water. Whether it is a grey water diversion system, grey water recycling system or holding tanks of RVs, the waste water should not be kept stored for long.
As far as the portable toilet of a RV is concerned, holding tank is undoubtedly the most important component of the system. The type of holding tank that is used greatly depends on the kind of toilet that is designed. Good quality, strong and durable holding tanks should be used in a RV. As mentioned before, the waste water should not be kept in the holding tank for long. Since the waste water is highly contaminated, keeping it stored inside the tank for long will lead to bad odor and can also result in health hazards. The way holding tank is installed may vary from one RV to the other but ideally the best way is to install the tank in such a manner that one end is connected to the toilet and the other is connected to the pump out system. This kind of set up is simple and installation does not require much of equipment.
It is very important to maintain hygiene by cleaning holding tanks regularly. A wide range of cleaning agents is available in the market. You must ensure that the holding tanks are always tightly closed. The black water should be dumped the moment the tank is about 70% full. Grey water should be dumped after the black water. After dumping the waste water the tanks should be cleaned thoroughly. The cleaning agents are very strong and very effective in removing bad odor and harmful microorganisms. These cleaning agents should be kept away from the reach of children and pets.
