How do you clean my holding tanks?

Your holding tanks are basically large, plastic boxes that are either cubicle in shape (for most motor coaches) or long, flat, and shallow (most travel trailers and fifth wheels). Some RVs have actually very complicated geometry to them. We’ve seen these in some Winnebagos and Country Coaches, where there are ledges and different heights or nooks within holding tanks. No wonder it’s so hard to get them clean!

So how does Kleen Tank get holding tanks “factory kleen?” We use the cleaning power of concentrated, high-powered water at a PSI (pounds per square inch) that is about 15 times that of your onboard spray system. 

How do we get that high-pressure water into your tank? Simple. We attach a special pipe fitting between your RV’s waste system exit pipe and the articulated sewer hose that removes waste and sends it on to the park’s in-ground disposal or handling system.

Using a specialy-designed, commercial water pump, high-pressure water is sent into your RV’s waste holding tanks where it scrubs the tanks so clean, we truly believe that they are “factory kleen” or close to a state that they were in when they came from the RV’s manufacturer.

Once we’ve cleaned your tanks out, we use a special rinsing process that pushes water quickly and forcefully back into your holding tank, filling it up. This is then released quickly, flushing out any residual waste. This process is repeated until the tank is clean and the water coming out is clear. In some cases, we may add an additional step where we use a special detergent to additionally clean your RV’s waste holding tanks.
