Kitchen Sink? Check that your level, my 115 can take ages (if at all) if there is a hint of nose up slope.

we had the same problem with the eldis we hade to be level and we had the same with our sundance but we also had a blockage under the sink in the pipes which we had to loosen as well

we had the same in our elddis kitchen sink , think we found it was to do with the way the pipe work is fitted by elddis : other half tells me the drain pipe went back along the top of the fridge and caused an air lock oh:

Elddis slow sink problem

Hi, I think I can help a lot of Elddis Autoquest owners with regard to the slow draining kitchen sinks.

I was initially told it was because the pipe runs along the top of the sink that was causing the problem however all that is needed is that the external part of the pipe hangs down below the waste holding tank that in effect defies the law of gravity. It then has to travel up hill to get into the tank and that is why it takes so long.

All that is needed is for the drainage pipe to be lifted up and tied with a simply plastic tie so that the water runs straight into the tank without travelling up hill.

My internal pipe still runs along the top of the sink but after hitching my external pipe up it works like a dream. As it was intended to do. So everyone with slow drainage simply check your external pipe to see that it falls straight into the tank with no downward dips in the middle. Hope this helps you sort out your problem.

Keep Smiling

same as my kontiki.....pipes left plug hole and routed uphill before dropping to waste tank.

simple re-route so the pipe had a fall from the plughole onwards did the trick
