The "san t flush" will not pass any water into the black tank. Will not allow me to rinse my black tank. Any suggestions?

Two things to look at. There is an anti siphon valve in the system that could have come apart blocking any water flow. Then there is the possibility that all the holes are plugged up in the flusher unit.

I'd bet on the siphon valve as that is the easiest to replace.

I have cleaned the flusher unit that mounts on the side of the tank every 2 or 3 years (don't really keep track). Never had a problem with the anti-siphon but either could cause the problem. Flusher not that hart do clean.

Bob, the anti-siphon valve on my '07 Allure is in the wall between the shower and the hall. I have a panel in the hall that is secured with six wood screws. Remove that and you have easy access.

Inside the motor there is a plastic pieces that had "vanes" on it that cuts-up/ grinds the waste. These "vanes" can break. The motor runs but nothing comes out. There is, I have been told, a repair kit for under $20.00 but finding it is a " good luck Charlie" event. They will try and sell you a motor for $200.00

Our anti-siphon valve failed and sprayed water behind the shower. I think it is becoming blocked again because I don't get the same flush pressure when I go through the anti-siphon that I do from connecting directly to the flush valve on the tank. Did that as an experiment to see where the blockage might be.

Jerry, Found the anti-siphon valve behind the panel in the hallway. took it apart, appears to be working OK. I don't see where the connection to the tank is to be able to clean the opening to the tank. What am I missing?

On my 2006 Allure with hydro-hot it is behind the panel above the hydro-hot on the passenger side.

Dan, Found it! Appears to be an engineering nightmare. It is connected with elbow which is against the metal frame. Not sure if I want to do any metal cutting. Thanks to all for your answers.

It is plastic not metal. Would not be to hard to cut some away.
