Review on 🧹 Efficient Cleaning Solution: Valterra A01-0187VP Flexible Tank Wand, Gray by Curtis Nice

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works very well for body repair tools

I bought this because my black tank doesn't drain well, partly because I find the slide valve not closing properly. Blame Heartland and Camping World. I've tried a few other sticks like this one but they didn't work. Mainly because the full length was not flexible. One item I tried was Camco 40074 Flexible Swivel Stik with Check Valve, the flexible hose wasn't long enough for my setup. It has a rotating end that Valterra A01-0187V does not have. I didn't try running it from the bathroom faucet, there just wouldn't be enough water pressure. I ran a garden hose through my bedroom window. Put this wand in the toilet and try to listen, when the sound changes, then you will understand that the end is in the black tank. It sprays water quite well, but doesn't auto-rotate like another product mentioned. At first I just turned on the water and went outside to see how well it worked. The water isn't clear, but that's good. Once I knew it was working, I let it run for a while, then went back into the bathroom and lowered the hose deeper into the tank, then pulled it out a few feet while manually rotating the hose for better coverage. Tank. When I thought I'd cleaned enough and the gauge said the black tank was empty, I pulled the hose out and made sure to flush on the way out the toilet. Strangely my black tank shows 2/3 full after just a few days. . Is it 2/3 full? I doubt it. can i prove it No, I don't have a camera in the pool and I don't want to look in either. Sensors defective? Probably. In the end, I plan to remove the tanks and connect them directly to the sewer pipe, but that's in the future. I also took the advice of another review and added a tie to the end of my hose to keep the end from flying off and getting stuck. in a black tank. I definitely don't want to catch that little bit on Saturday. Overall this works well for cleaning your black tank, you just have to manually twist the hose from the tub to really clean the tank. Definitely recommended for cleaning the aquarium.

Cons
