TANK RANGERS
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should you have your RV tanks professionally cleaned?
It’s recommended to have your RV tanks professionally cleaned every 6-12 months, depending on your usage. Regular maintenance helps prevent clogs, buildup, and unpleasant odors, ensuring your tanks function properly.
How much does it cost to have my RV Tanks cleaned?
Typically you should pay between $275 – $375 for up to three tanks. One black and two gray tanks. Additional tanks range from $65 – $125 depending on the type of RV you own.
I have a clog in my RV is there anything I can do?
If you experience a clog in your RV Toilet, you can try using a household plunger or a gentle, enzyme-based product like Unique Clear-It Black Tank Unclogger, designed to break through clogs. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage your tanks and valves. After dealing with a clog, its always a good idea to have your tanks professionally cleaned by Tank Rangers. A full cleaning and inspection will ensure your clog won’t return.
Why does my RV sink smell so bad?
A foul odor from your RV sink is often caused by buildup in the gray water tank or bacteria in the drain pipes. Deep cleaning your gray tank with Dawn Ultra will remove any grease and organic materials that have built up inside your gray tank and are causing odors. Follow this step-by-step guide to deep clean your gray tank with Dawn.
Additionally, we strongly recommend scheduling regular full-service cleanings, even after DIY methods, to ensure a factory clean and properly operating system.
Can I use regular toilet paper in my RV?
Yes, you can use any brand of toilet paper in your RV, as long as you’re using plenty of water and treating your black tank with a high-quality bacteria and enzyme-based holding tank treatment, such as Unique RV Digest-It Ultra.
The key is making sure your tank treatment can actually break down both waste and toilet paper. Regular toilet paper may take longer to dissolve than RV-specific toilet paper, but with enough water and the right tank treatment, you can help reduce the risk of clogs, buildup, and odor issues.
When is the right time to dump my tank?
Avoid Dumping When the Tank Is Not Full if possible. Dump your black tank only when it’s at least two-thirds full. This allows for a stronger flow that helps flush out waste and prevents residue from sticking to the tank walls, reducing odors.
Can I use the same cleaners I use in my house and RV??
It’s best to use RV-safe cleaners, especially in your toilet and plumbing system. Many household cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can damage seals, pipes, and tank components or interfere with the bacteria and enzymes in your holding tank treatment.
For your RV toilet, we recommend Unique Scrub-It RV Toilet Bowl Cleaner. It’s designed specifically for RV toilets and holding tank systems, helping clean the bowl without harming your tank treatment or disrupting the breakdown process inside your black tank.
