Re: [A/S] Drianing the black water tank

I forgot to mention that it is Not Acceptable to drain grey water on the
ground. In most places now it is illegal. Biggest problem is bits of food
that get into the grey system through the sink. The bits go bad and could
be eaten by critters as well as dogs and cats. Can cause sickness and even
death. Of course there is always the issue of soaps and the like
contaminating the ground.
