Question Potable vs. Non-Potable Water usage for tank rinsing

[Germanrazor]

Yessir, Germanrazor, you are correct. Just remember if the sign has the term "non potable" that means non drinkable. Potable means drinkable, but, why would you want to refill your grey tank? Black tank is toilet tank and grey tank(s) are shower and sinks.

I would not want to refill but that would be what that second station is for I assume?? Well, let me say this, I have heard some campers do place some water in the camper for on the road bathroom breaks if you do not like using public restrooms???
Me, I say find a tree to hide behind! Lol

I understand about a tree, but the water you would use the second stand pipe for is for your fresh tank. You would then have the ability to use the fresh tank and the water pump to be able to flush the toilet or wash you hands or what ever you want water for.

same. And I recently invested in a Berkey filter for a long trips but we've yet to use it
We fill our tank from the house before trips ( I know, extra weight) but we have a nice water softener... I like the softened water. and I usually last us a few days. For any ladies that might be interested, if even the last rinse with my hair, when I wash it, is softened water, or even bottled water, my hair is fluffier, easier to manage, and stays clean longer.

We don’t fill tank only bottled water

We use water from our house to fill the water tank. Usually 1/2 for the travel for "conveniences". Also, we don't use bottled water. There are no purifications standards for bottled water that I can find. As I was told, "don't touch that, you don't know where it's been". I've seen too many stores "back rooms" where bottled water and everything else is stored, along with the mice and roaches.

I'll trust my water filtration system and my own water tank.

In addition to the conventional backflow prevention I would like to see these installed on every potable water source where a hose can be hooked up. Some local governments do require these but many do not. It's another prevention device that doesn't cost much.
