Grey water is the water you use in washing the dishes or in showering and it is stored in its own storage tank. This is the tank that becomes filled up the fastest and you will learn how to conserve water for you don't fill up your grey water tank within the first 24 hours of a trip!
Grey water is dumped into a sanitary sewer at your campsite or at a dump in a campground or at a rest area that provides this service.
Deodorants are available to treat your grey water tank but most of us dump frequently enough that we do not bother to use these.
We suggest that all owners of coaches label their dump valves so no question ever arises as to which valve is for the black or the grey tank. If you are ever having to assist a friend and the valves are not labeled - the smaller pipe going to the discharge is the grey and the larger diameter pipe is the black.
When staying in a campground for a period of time we leave the sewer hose connected coach dump assembly and the other end in the sewer opening and we keep the grey valve open so the grey tank is constantly being drained. 24 hours before departure we close the grey valve so the grey tank builds up for the rinsing of the hose after draining the black tank.
