The PPO Smart Wet Bay is built with U.S made and sourced parts used in industrial practices to ensure that our systems are built to last and operate at the highest level.
The program is fully built from the ground up to protect the user from mistakes and to fully autonomously manage and maintain the black and grey water holding tanks to the cleanest standards continuously.
As an RV owner with decades of experience in all aspects of engineering especially on large sailing superyachts, creating the Smart Wet Bay was a natural progression. From finding that the tank sensors on most RVs are one of the most unreliable aspects, to realising that even on the most expensive custom Prevost, Newell, Foretravel motorcoaches the tank valve systems are at the most, controlled by pressing buttons.
We have around us the smartest tech we have ever seen, why not make this an automated function.
The systems I worked with were on superyachts with huge hydraulic sailing systems. The control system inside of the Smart Wet Bay uses the same hardware as those because if the top sailors in the world trust their lives with these systems to sail around the world, it must be good enough to handle my waste tanks in our RVs.
The system comprises of:
The Hub that all sensors and the display connect to. The hub is mounted inside of the wet bay, usually behind the panel that you see as you open your wet bay. The hub is connected to the RV house battery 12v system.
The Display Screen that displays the tank levels in percentage, and allows available functions to be controlled by the touch screen. Processes and information are displayed on screen. Large LED indicators beside the screen show that the system is in Auto or not and alarm status.
Emergency stop with twist to reset button to close all valves in and out and stop any processes.
Tank Sensors are supplied as a pair, additional sensors for RVs with multiple black or grey tanks can be supplied. The tank sensor contains a level sensor accurate to within 0.5% from 1 inch off the base of the tank to the top and can not clog. The volume of waste water in the tank displays as a percentage and an approximate gallons.
Additional sensing within the tank sensor detects the tank has reached maximum capacity.
Sewer Hose Sensors are fitted to the connection point of the flexible sewer hose and the RV waste water outlet. The sensor detects the fitting of the sewer hose although the operator must take care that the bayonet fitting is correctly fitted all around to prevent spills. The operator is also to ensure that the sewer end of the hose is fastened securely to the sewer and cannot be dislodged easily. We recommend checking your hose regularly for signs of damage or becoming loose. Replace damaged hoses before continuing with Automatic modes as waste control valves can operate at any time.
Shore Water Control Valve that is controlled by the operator to control the flow of city water into the RV plumbing system and controlled by the system to prevent city water flooding a tank.
Tank Flush Valves are installed into the existing flush system of the wet bay. Rvs are built with check valves and anti syphon vents to prevent the backflow of black water into the city water. The flush nozzel for flushing systems is usually installed on the top of the tank and so only comes into contact with the tank contents if the tank is overflowing or is splashed with moving contents. Our control valve is only available to open if the city/shore water valve is open supplying pressurised fresh water. There is no way that waste water can come into contact with the RV fresh water supply as the valve is immediately closed if open when the tank is 100% full. As an additional precaution the control valve has a spring loaded checkvalve attached to allow opening only if reasonable city water pressure is available.
We still recommend having your tanks cleaned by an RV specialist every now and then because waste can still cling to tank walls over time and only high pressure cleaning can remove that. The Smart Wet Bay will provide the best daily defence from clogs, sewer flies, pyramids and failing tank sensors.
