After camping and the Vacuflush working like a champ! After dumping black tank I used the black tank rinse at the dump station at the campground. After getting home and the next day cleaning the RV I went to use the toilet and with the 12 volt system on turned the Vacuflush power switch to on and received the red led light on the panel. Of course it will not flush due to this. I have checked the relay and seems to be good. Dometic sanitation tech said possibly something is on the tank full senser. Has anyone had this issue?

I plan to use the black tank rinse to clear the senser.

If you are 100% sure you dumped black tank after flushing go ahead and pull the black tank lever and make sure it’s empty nothing should happen if empty and big mess if sensor works.

Always something with the Sucker Flusher!

I wish I had a brilliant idea but I thinks you are on the right track. Maybe mix some dishwasher soap up and dump it down the hose, run the till you think you got a close to full tank then drive to the dump.

Had some time today to address my issue. Went to Flying J to use the Dump and flush the black tank. After say 5-8 minutes of rinsing the black tank still would not flush! So I packed up and drove back to the storage lot. When I parked my rig I thought one more try I turned on the power to the Vacuflush system and it WORKED!!! YEAH thanks to my DW she asked what if I turned it off the back on, so she helped!

RRR I didn’t add any dish soap.

Power cycle and a little more water often helps. I put a little dawn dish liquid down to keep the duck bill valves nice and clean/slippery.

I am getting ready to rebuild my pump this weekend. It has started tripping the breaker and I want to add the whisper upgrade to quiet things down.

Where did you get the whisper upgrade? Let us know if you like it.
