Brand new porta potti taken to Le Mans for it's maiden outing   Had a great time and were well chuffed with it's "performance"

Works a treat, but it stopped flushing after four days.  The "septic" tank was going into the red, so we stopped using it.  I checked the main tank on the the top and there was plenty of water in there.

Got home, emptied the "septic" tank and it still won't flush.  The flushing rod moves up and down, but no clean liquid come out into the bowl.  I have the "hole" open when I do this...  Is it faulty ?

Thank in advance.

If there's water in the top tank,then yes, I'd say it's faulty. Just out of interest, is it a manual pump type flush, or the electric one that takes batteries? Only I have a manual one and I can't imagine there is much that could possibly go wrong with it.

The flush works best if the portapotti is level - we had problems one year when we were pitched on a slope!

Was there any particular reason you brought a portapotti brimfull of four days deposits all the way home to empty    ? MT

I'll answer the questions in order !

It is a manual flush, so I'm confused too.

It was level in the tent as it worked for four days.

Errrr okay, I'll come clean, it didn't come home full...
