Holding tanks need to be cleaned.  Back flowing happens when a fresh water system gets crossed with a source of bad water or other contaminant.  It is ass simple as a garden hose left in contact  with contaminated water, hooked up to the hose bib.  Under the right conditions that water can  backup into the hose bib, and into the fresh water of your RV.

This can be caused by anything that causes a sudden drop in water pressure that allows black water to pulse backwards up the garden hose and into the RV.

You can prevent this by buying a tank cleaning system  device.  It should come with a simple backflow preventer to be installed between your hose bib and the garden hose. If a loss of pressure were to occur this device steps in and stops the backflow of fluids, protecting your RV’s drinking water.

Remember a mouthful of bacteria can ruin a whole trip and fill your tanks quickly.
