I have the Sani-Flush on my trailer.
Question is why does it spray water everwhere when I use it.
Its like a hose with no rubber washer in the end but its inbetween the hauler and the fitting.
Im worried that Im getting water intrusion with it leaking like this.
Anybody seen this before.

If I understand what you are trying to describe, it sounds like you have a hose / tube off after it enters your rig. I'd pull the screws holding it to the wall and see what is going on.

If that isn't it and it is leaking at the hose connection (you do have a washer in place??) then it might just be a connection that has been damaged somehow.

Bad washer and bad hose end will cause your problem. And they must be tight. Majority of the washers are universal size, but I have found a few that are smaller, and the reg. washer won't work in this application.

I'm not quite sure what type of connections you are referring to.

But if you have a female swivel type of hose connection on your trailer to which a male end of a water hose connects, I have found that sometimes the male hose end of water hoses found at some dump station facilities is to short to seat against the rubber washer in the swivel female end on the trailer and a second washer is needed to make a tighter seal so as not to spay water from the swivel joint.

Its coming from the swivel joint I think.So I think water is not getting inside(in the wall).
Im pretty sure the hose is sealing against the washer.
It was 2 weeks ago so my memory is failing me
I'll be dumping again today so I will check again.
