Caravan Sullage Hoses for Grey Water Use

Making Waste Water Easy to Manage on the Road

With a grey water tank being a must have caravan accessory, you’re going to need a way to drain it. That’s where your caravan sullage hose (also known as grey water hoses) come in. As a quick refresher, caravan grey water refers to water after it's been used in your caravan sink, shower or washing machine and not your toilet – this is known as blackwater.

A caravan sullage hose is specially designed with a smooth bore – in other words, they're smooth inside. This prevents any food scraps, hair and other items from getting stuck (like they might in a corrugated hose). By having a dedicated grey water hose for your caravan, you'll also be able to avoid any mix ups with your drinking water hoses – the last thing you want is to be using the same hose.

A caravan sullage hose is a waste water hose designed for use with sinks and showers. It has a smooth inside that helps water flow fast. This makes it easy to drain waste without food or hair getting stuck. The hose is flexible so it bends around corners and fits your setup. It keeps things clean and stops mix ups with your drinking water hose.

When it comes time to use your caravan sullage hose to empty your grey water, most caravan parks will have a signed sullage disposal point – simply connect your hose and let gravity do the rest.

Play by the rules and dispose of your grey water responsibly and purchase a quality caravan sullage hose and all your fittings online from Outback Equipment for fast delivery anywhere in Australia.

Accessories to Go with Your Sullage Hose

• Hose Storage Bags
  Keep your grey water hose packed away clean. These bags stop drips and make it easy to store your hose when not in use.
• Pipe & Hose Fittings
  Useful for connecting your hose to different pipe setups. Ideal for custom installs or when you're using non-standard outlets.
• Hose Fittings and Retaining Clips
  Help secure your sullage hose in place and prevent leaks at connection points. Great to have as spares in your kit.
• Grey Water Tank Cleaner
  Helps reduce smells and break down residue inside your hose or grey tank. A good habit after longer trips.

How do I choose the right size grey water hose?

Most hoses come in 25mm, 32mm or 38mm diameters. Check the outlet size on your caravan to match it. A wider hose is good for faster flow or if you're draining from more than one source.

How do I keep the hose clean and working well?

Rinse your hose after each trip using clean water. Check for cracks or signs of wear before heading off again. A smooth bore hose is easier to flush out and less likely to clog.

How do I stop my sullage hose from smelling?

Start with a hose that has a smooth bore inside. This helps waste flush out fully so nothing gets stuck. After each trip, rinse it with clean water followed by a mix of vinegar and water. This helps break down residue and reduces smells without using harsh chemicals.
