Video Transcript for Hands-On with the Valterra Master Blaster Tank Wand for RV Black-Water Tank

What's up, everybody, it's Aj with etrailer.com Today, we're gonna be checking out the Valterra Master Blaster. This is gonna be a device that's gonna allow you to help clean out that tank. You know, you can't just spray out the bowl of a toilet, you have to go a little deeper to that into the tank. And this is what's gonna allow you to do that. You got the handle on this side, and you can just put it down in there. Flip this valve, it's gonna spray water out down there and clean off all those sensors and get that gunk out of there.

That way everything works like it should. Let's check it out. Now we're gonna use it today is a little bit different. They do have kits that you can use where you hook up a hose to your sink. So you'd just turn on here and the water would flow and use that water to clean out your tank.

Well, we have an older faucet here, it just didn't work out, the threads don't match. So what we did is we ran a hose from the outside to the inside. I mean it's right there, there's a window. So just run that hose, which is actually to give us a little bit more pressure, and that we'll have our sink, so it's gonna help us out overall or in cleaning. I wanna go over a few things just before we use it.

Now, when we use, I'm gonna do a demonstration here in the sink, but we are gonna go clean out that tank in a second. It's just kinda easy to show you what I'm talking about here 'cause you can't get the camera down in the tank, with this at the same time. We have the lever here that you can throw. So when it's on the sides, that's gonna be at shut off valve. When you push it to the middle, that's gonna open that valve and let that water run through, so it's really nice that it has that shut off just because like I said, we ran a hose in here.

We did that, it'd be a nice to go turn on the hose and water would be everywhere. This shots it off, you see there's no dripping or anything. There's no water leaving it. So you can be sure that it's not gonna get everywhere. Now, this end is gonna be PBC, so it is rigid. So if you have a tank that does not go directly down, so if your toilet does not go directly to your tank, this might not be the one for you. There's another one from Valterra that that one is more like an extended of a hose with an end on it that has multi-directional, omni-directional spray. That one might be more one for you because that will go with the drain, it can be pushed down into there. This one is rigid, so it's just gonna be like this. So if you don't have the straight down, just a warning, you might wanna get the other one. Now, if you do have the straight down, let's show how it sprays a little here. Show you the lever. You see, it just shoots the water out like that, so then if it was down in the tank, I could move it around and get all ends just like that. And that's essentially what it's doing inside your tank. And that's not even full pressure. Let me a little bit more. So that's pretty high pressure there. So that's definitely gonna help get that gunk out of there. Now let's test it out. I'm gonna do is open up our toilet. Get it down in there. And then I'm just gonna throw the lever. Overall, it works really well. It was easy to get that down there in the tank and the pressure of the water coming out definitely made it easier to clean that area. I knew that it was getting that stuff on there, and maybe that hard to reach stuff that you can't normally get to, or like when you normally flush it, just doesn't get cleaned out like it should. This is gonna get to those areas, and get that stuff off there. Well, thanks for hanging out, and I hope this helped..
