How is this installed? Is it installed inside the RV "permanently" or is it used at the the end of the garden hose only when filling the RV?

We have ours at the end of the water hose. It works great and since we did not use the trailer too much (20 days) we will use it for another season before replacing it.

On the outside, either at the source for your water (that is where I have it) or where the hose connects to the camper. In either case, on the first time you use the filter, do not attach the water line to the camper until after you run some water through the filter to remove the carbon . Takes about a minute or 2. The water from this filter is as good as bottled water.

No it is installed outside at the tap then your hose. Reminder when you first use it a burst of black stuff will come out that is charcoal and its temporary. This is a temporary filter when it gets dirty its a throw away.I love it so much better than a permanent one which you have to fiddle with under a sink.

When camping, if you have your tank pumped, the service may refuse if your tank has regular tissue used in it. You may not ever have a problem, but it could gather and clog your drainage pipe. I'm not an expert, but would recommend the RV safe type to keep from this possibly happening.

It is an end piece...you attach it to a watering wand that has a shut off on the wand. Yes you can attach it right to you hose.

The male end is the end with the screw on lock it goes into the electrical plug that is on your trailer or RV. The other end goes into the electrical hookup box at the pole and you are correct the other is just standard RV hook up end. The lock unit is nice to have especially with the handle hanging down it doesn't put stress on the cord it also stays secure when plugged into your trailer. Our trailer came with the Marine electrical lock system already so when our cord went bad I was glad to find one at Amazon it fits just right we have had it going on 2 years. The cord is also easy to wind up. Hope this helps you on your question. The male end is the end with the screw on lock it goes into the electrical plug that is on your trailer or RV.

Wow, it has been some time. My best recollection is either 3/4 NPT or garden hose which is very close. I ripped out the old one so the thread is what the RV manufacturer installed. It is definitely not the 1/2" reported by others.

Very easy. Just attach a hose to the larger opening, and one to the top small opening. The large one is for the water in. The small is for the air out. Purchase a water intake from an RV store. It most have both water intake and the air out connection. Attached the hoses with hoses clamps and you are ready to fill the tank.

You spray it on directly from their quart container using the spray nozzle they provide. Just attach to your outside hose and follow directions on container or watch their videos. Real simple and I found it works just fine.

This is a TWIST ON valve, just as the description notes. This item has a female bayonet connector on one side and a male bayonet connector on the other side, as shown. What you are connecting TO it must have a MALE bayonet connector. This is VERY typical for RV waste pipes (female at connection point, male at waste pipe). I specifically used this device because on GREY/BLACK valves were VERY distant from the actual discharge point (and they leaked a little bit), so I attached this AT the discharge point. Left it on ALL THE TIME - used the discharge point cap as "secondary security" to ensure the system didn't fall off (it never even moved)!! Then, connect the waste pipe and THEN open the valve... Whatever was left upstream of the valve would THEN "move on out", unlike just the cap where you'd need a bucket to collect the mess!! ***EXCELLENT ADDITION*** to your RV Plumbing and I ***HIGHLY RECOMMEND*** it.

Mine is placed in the left corner of the bed. I only use it when I load my trailer then remove it, so it is only temporary. I have it set up with Velcro, easy on/off. It might work that way for you. Put it under the lip of the bed, if it doesn't work, just put it outside on the corner then remove when the unit is loaded.hope this helps

It is a great product . Had one for two years trouble free. It is designed to attach anywhere you would normally use a garden hose.

I'm not sure the unit is intended for external installation. Mine is under an inside sink. That having been said, the water connections are on the bottom. it seems to me that if you shut off the valve and unscrew the water connections, the water would with the help of gravity, drain out of the unit.

its an odd size, not a garden hose. I found hose close enough and put a clamp on it to hold it in place. works fine, better than trying to empty the bucket.

A black hose on at the outside it connects to your water source... Probably the Spicket on your house.The inside one connects to your hose. You connect it and then wrap it around by using the circle motion. The end of the hose will hang outside when it is wrapped up I hope this helps!

I installed mine from the timer to the hose. When the timer/valve goes shut, the remaining water in the hose will vent/drain thru the vacuum breaker.

Sorry now sure, we've changed it several times since purchase. Bought the replacements at Home Depot...have found them just about everywhere. Many choices.... We have a double on our RV... One on the hose, and one on the inlet to the motor home. We used a pretty wide open choice in this unit and a more PPM filter near the home.... keeps all the crap out... and we've seen it all. This one got so plugged at an RV park that it completely plugged up... saved us from having it in our water system though....

You fill the top tank, place it on the bottom tank and lock it down by engaging the side clips. You may use any of the various deodorizing fluids specifically sold for portable RVs or boat toilets and follow the instructions on the bottle. This will be added to the bottom tank only . You flush by pressing and holding the large accordion button on the top left which releases clean water from the top tank into the bowl. There is a lever that you need to pull out to let this down into the bottom tank. It is on the front of the unit. Once the fluid is released into the bottom tank you push that lever back in to seal the bottom tank again. When the bottom tank is "almost" full you will know it because the flushable water from the top tank will be running out and may begin to sputter when you attempt to flush it by pushing down on the large accordion button. To empty the bottom chamber of waste you unlock the top tank from the bottom first. Remove the top tank and place it aside.. Then you will open the cap on the bottom tank and dump it out into the nearest toilet or use a septic pump at an RV camp or marina. Make sure the lever just mentioned is in the pushed IN position! Wash the entire unit (the outside top tank, toilet and seat, and bottom tank) with soap or disinfectant and flush with clean water. Dry the entire unit and reattach the top tank to the bottom tank and its ready again. Fill the top tank with water again and put the recommended amount of disinfectant/deodorizer in the bottom tank. Do not put any chemical deodorizer in the top tank because chemical fumes will seep out of the little tube the water flushes out of which is very unhealthy to constantly release into your room or trailer. Put deodorizing chemicals only in the bottom tank to help break down and neutralize waste odors. Hope this helps...
