Black tank flush

The black tank flush on my 94 Excella is not working. Any thoughts on how to get it working? Could it be the vacuum breaker or check valve needs replacing?

Did you ever figure this out? We are purchasing a 1994 30' Limited with the same problem.

Mine is not working either.
Acts like a valve is closed, no water gets thru system.

Whenever I see a thread about black tank flush problems, I think back to the thread, "Black Tank Flush" started by JmesDean in 2006.

When he attached the water hose and turned on the water, he heard a "pop". He thought something popped off and reduced his water pressure. One possibility is that if you attach a hose and turn on the water with too high pressure you might damage the check valve or something else in this "No-fuss flushing system".

So whenever I attach a water hose to my black tank flushing system, I feel the hose as I gradually increase the water pressure to the point where I can see that it is adequately flushing the tank without blasting out the system.
