It just occurred to me that I may be doing this wrong; Our 240 DA has a simple porta potti type head with a pump out fitting on the gunwhale. When we pump it out I leave the flush valve in the "open" position and don't close it until I'm finished pumping and rinsing twice. Should the valve be in the open or closed position for these types of devices? I'm thinking "open" to allow the air to replace the effluent as it is pumped??????? :smt017
