Ever watch the Dump Scene in the Movie RV with R.W.??? - September 15, 2008

We like full hookup + cable, but there are also some really great State
Parks we also like to visit which only have one dump station for
everybody in the park.
We are weekend campers and hate waiting in line for hours for
multiple Morks & Mindys to take 20 minutes dumps on Sunday.
Home Dumping into a house toilet (close to our garage door) has
some real advantages. Did I mention not waiting in endless lines?
First, dump the black water (toilet water) into your home toilet.
Second, dump your gray warer (sink/shower water) into the same.
The second dump helps clean the hose.
High quality motors are thermally protected. If they over-heat they
will shut down. If this happens it means that the pump motor is
defective or you are flushing bad things. If the pump locks up, it is
probably our fault.
Flushable Wipes are marginally ok for home, but NOT in your RV.
Only truly RV/Marine TP should be used. Facial tissue and other
hygiene products should go into appropriate containers, not our RV
toilets. Take 2 sheets of whatever TP you are using now, add them to
a glass of water. Stir. If they do not desolve quickly, ask for help at
Camping World.
Inappropriate disposal will destroy your pump and void your
warranty.
PS After dumping, add at least 1 to 5 gallons of fresh water to both
your gray and black tanks. For a pop-up a gallon is good. Larger rigs
need more. After dumping our Southwind, I add 5 gallons of fresh
water to the 40 gallon black tank and 5 gallons to the 60 gallon gray
tank.
Do NOT add anyting to your fresh water tank during camping season
except fresh water. Flush between each fill.
PPS Water also weighs over 8 pounds per gallon. 100 G = +800#.
If you camp has good water, fill when you arrive. Drain down b-4 you
come home. Your home water bill and your RV fuel credit card
charges will be much improved.

Exceeds Expectations - September 06, 2008

What a great product, I was very skeptical about its abilities but it
pumps waste a 100' through 3/4 hose up a 15% grade with out any
problems with over heating. I pump the waste into my septic system
at my recreation property and after camping, instead of wasting our
time at a dumping station ( which there is only one that we pass on
our way home and its always busy) I pump the waste into my sewer
clean out at my home. I personally never rate products of any kind
because they usually fall short of their claims, but this one works
better than I could of hoped.

This product is a work saver. No heavy, stinky tote. You do not have
to hook up or move your RV to the dump station. Do not wait, buy one
now. Works just as described by the manufacture.

FloJet RV Pump -Very Good - July 28, 2008

The State Park purchased a FloJet pump, as there was no sewer
connection in the campground Host site. I assembled the wiring
harness, & secured the recommended hoses. We very easily
pumped out my full black water tank (125) one-hundred-twenty-five
feet and up a five foot rise into a restroom toilet. I also easily rinsed
the tank clean, in much less time and effort than driving around the
Campground to dump. The 3/4 outlet hose and a clear elbow on the
tank outlet are a must have, as is a person on the end of the hose.
I highly recommend the FloJet Pump, however the I had to shop
elswhere for the three-quarter inch hose and alligator-battery clips.
I hope to buy my own this year.

I just bought a FloJet Waste Pump and used it today for the first time. I
pumped both my tanks on a 40' Endeaver M.H. about 100 ft. up a 3 ft.
incline and it worked great. Very fast and clean. Everything I could
have hoped for. Wish I hadn't procrastinated so long.

work saver - April 13, 2008

I had initialy thought of buying a sewer tote, but I am glad that I
decided to by a FLOJET. I was set up at a beautiful camp site on one
of our area lakes, but there was no sewer hook up. After much
research I purchaced a FLOJET. I had a run of about 100 feet to a
sewer inlet; with 5/8 garden hose. The unit worked beyond my
expectations. I am also able to empty my tanks while my trailer is
parked in my yard at home. I just run the hose to a toilet on the ground
floor of my home. I have recomended this product to some of my
camping buddies.

If you need to dump remotely This is the one! - March 03, 2008

We winter in Fla and we were going about 25 miles one way to dump
every 3 weeks or so, finally took the plunge and boy we are glad we
did!! We now pump out our tanks about every 3 weeks and we are
pumping thru 5/8 garden hose over 175 ft fairly level, I have a total of
85 gallons to pump plus flushing after. It has never overheated and
stopped on me but it does get very warm! If in a hurry I wrap a cold
damp rag around the motor and I have pumped it all at once without
stopping that way with no problems. I fully flush and clean the pump
after every use, I have found thread and hair wrapped around the
impeller and I reach in with a long pair of curved needle nose pliers to
remove anything around it. You will want a clear fitting or hose. I would
recommend this to any one!

It performs better that expected. - February 12, 2008

We are currently parked beside our home that is being remodeled.
The FloJet empties 3 tanks (40 gal each), up a slight incline to our
septic tank appox 80 feet away. Although it is not as fast as dumping
at a dump station, it’s more convenient.
I would recommend the FloJet to anyone where a dump station is not
available. It performs better that expected.

Don't wait in line, Dump at home - January 25, 2008

Been waiting for months to have a need to try this out. Started a
series of dry camp weekends where I did not want the hassle of
finding a dump or waiting in the long line at the park. I extended the
included wiring harness to tap into a near-by DC circuit in a storage
compartment and left enough lead to have the harness pulled to
outside near the tank outlet when needed. That was the most time
consuming of the installation. After that it was just hook up to the drain
outlet, plug in the harness, turn on and dump away. I have a sewer
clean-out at my house in the front, so I just run a hose up from the
street to the clean-out about 35 feet. Dumped all 3 tanks in about 15
minutes. I doubt I will ever wait in any line at a dump station again.
Have the peace of mind that we can use the toilet in the trailer on the
way home if needed and not have to deal with gas station restrooms.

Awesome - December 24, 2007

I have been living in my coach on private property for 3 years. The only
problem I had at the beginning was dumping. It is a bus conversion
and has the capability of using a lot of water. I installed the waste
pump and have had absolutely no problem since. When I take a 20
minute shower I turn it on and it will outpump what is going in. It is
great

Absolutly Works Great - December 19, 2007

This is a must item if you cannot always dump at a dumping station.
Not only does it work great but it exceeded expectations. We have
been staying in our Motor Home since Sept while we build an addition
on our daughters home since we have sold ours. We are camped
behind an Office with the nearest dump station far away. We
purchased the pump so that we would not have to move, we are 100'
from the sewer connection. I used a 3/4 pex plastic tubing which I
connected a Hose fitting to and it pump with our the motor getting hot
nor did it ever plug up. We let the Black tank get 2/4 full then hook up
the pump and let it go. Motor doesn't overheat and I think it works
great!
