How to Repair an RV Greywater Valve

Greywater tanks hold the water from sinks and showers; the water is not full of waste, but is not clean enough to drink. If you get soaked when you remove the black cap while draining the greywater holding tank, your dump valve may need repairing. Usually the valve has lost the ability to hold back the waste in the tank. This can be an unsanitary mess and should be addressed as soon as possible. The fix is easy and can be done by anyone.
