4. What does a tank restore actually do vs a regular dump & rinse? +
A campground dump and rinse only empties liquid. Our hydro-jet restore blasts built-up struvite, grease, toilet paper, and pyramid off walls and floor, cleans sensors so your 1/3 - 2/3 - Full lights read correctly again, and leaves enzyme treatment to break down residue. Most customers see sensors work same visit. Takes 45-75 min per tank. We do a before/after flow test and digital report.
5. Where do you service and how long does it take? +

Signs:
• Sensors stuck on Full or 2/3

• Odors even after dumping
• Frequent clogs or pyramid
