Ask a silly question how do you fill an on-board water tank. I am considering an Abbey that has one.

All this 'extra water' that people say is good still goes to the grey waste container and has to be emptied. For those who say there is extra water for long showers - is there somebody outside to empty the grey waste when it is filled from the first supply tank, or do you just let it overflow?

I've never had the toilet flush working from the fresh water tank - is this still allowed?
Yep have on my 2012 Buccaneer , should have a non return valve in the pipework
PaulT said:Also, what is this talk of "extra water" in the grey waste tank? What is the difference between using 2 Aquarolls and 1 Aquaroll plus an onboard tank? I've lost track of the number of times on a cold wet winter evening where we've both had showers and I haven't had to go out and fill the outside tank because it's run out.
PaulT said:On the subject of emptying the grey waste tank, and at the risk of the sky falling on me, could I ask how many people actually empty their tank down the drain? I used to until I observed that I was in the minority. Now I put the tank under the 'van but leave an outlet undone. The tank mainly fills but overflows onto the ground. Periodically, I empty what is in the tank on a convenient plant. I certainly wouldn't contemplate going outside during a shower (either of myself or of rain) in order to empty the tank!

I thought your sky would fall in.
Even the Victorian's recognised the health implications of safe disposal of grey and brown waste.
Please empty the waste master correctly and help keep our sites clean and healthy.
