What is grey water capacity?
Originally published on November 15th, 2019. When it comes to your RV’s plumbing system, not everything is black and white. Your grey water tank is the one that holds the waste water that comes from your sinks and showers — that is, everything other than the toilet.
How big is a grey water holding tank?
With the black water tank, about 6 gallons will go into it in one week. This isn’t typical though, as many will fill their grey water tank much faster than the black water tank. This is why grey water holding tanks are typically larger.
Do you dump black water or gray water first?
Dump the black water tank first, then the gray tank. Dumping the gray tank last helps flush out the sewer hose. After you dump both tanks, thoroughly flush out the tanks. Some RVs have a built-in system for flushing.
