Re: [A/S] Fruit flies
Alice,
You are courting disaster. It's okay to leave the grey tank open and running
into the sewer, but NOT the black tank...Trust me *all* the waste isn't going
down. You are no doubt getting a "black pyramid" What's happening is the
liquids (pee and flush water) are going out but the solids are not. The
reason it's recommended that you let your black tank get at least 3/4 full is
because the liquids and the solids live together making 1. the solids more
liquid and 2. They all go out together when the black tank valve is opened.
I suggest you close up the black tank valve for at least a week and dump some
bacteria in there to try to soften and liquify what's probably a rock hard
mess.
Bottom line, you know what attracts flies and you've got a tank full of it.
That would be my guess.
