What Purpose Does Vacuum Breaker Serve on Tornado 360-Degree RV Holding Tank Rinser # CAM40126
Updated 06/23/2020 | Published 07/10/2019
Question:
What is the vacuum breaker for? Do you have to use it? If you installed a nice check valve in the line would that eliminate the need for the vacuum breaker?

Vacuum breakers are basically backflow preventers so that when you use the Tornado 360-Degree RV Holding Tank Rinser # CAM40126 there's no worry of it accidentally siphoning your tank water into the hose/water supply which would be absolutely terrible. We can only recommend you install and use this like it was intended so please do not attempt to modify it.
I attached a review video for more info on this for you to check out as well.
