Gray Tank 101

Why It Smells (and How to Keep It Fresh)

The Hidden Culprit
Most RV owners focus on the black tank, but the gray tank can stink just as bad. Soap, grease, and bacteria build up over time, feeding that funky odor.

Common Causes

– Residue from food prep and dishwashing 
– Body oils and soap film in the shower 
– Clogged P-traps or vents 

 Prevention Tips

1. Avoid pouring grease down drains. 
2. Flush your gray tank regularly. 
3. Use enzyme-based treatments instead of harsh chemicals.
