Using the factory Black water flush

So I think I know how this works, I am assuming after you dump your Black tank, then your gray tank, to clean out the hose, you can use this factory flush to do a flush on your black tank?
Any advice on this? Its on my sunset Trail 2010 19CK

Before you try to use it ,go under the bathsink and locate the aerator and tighten the 2 fittings real tight. And have someone watch it as you put water pressure to the hose to make sure it does not leak like most do.

I drain and flush my black tank first. I picked up a clear plastic elbow connection that hooks the drain hose to the drain valve. That way I can visually see that my black tank is washed out and flowing clear water from the black tank. I then drain my gray tanks and you can see that they are drained too.

I do the same. The water that you flush from the black tank will always be contaminated. I like the fact that the grey tank has some detergent in it.

I close my grey tank. Open the black and let it drain while I hook up the hose to the flush. Turn on the flush till it comes out clear. Then I leave the flush on and close the black and let it fill for about 5 minutes. Then open it again. Turn off the flush. Let it drain. I turn on the flush again and see what comes out through the clear elbow. I will continue to close/fill and flush several times until nothing else comes out.

Modification

Under the bathroom vanity we located the Black Water Flush Systems check valve / vacuum breaker. Not wanting to take a chance on a leak or a flood we moved it to the basement ceiling behind the plumbing panel. It works fine there and has done so for the last 8 years.
