I have the Valterra twist-on valve semi-permanently installed on the waste outlet. When dumping, I open the third valve and the black tank valves first, then close the third valve and open the grey tank valve to back flush the black tank with grey water before draining everything. The third valve also makes it easy to gain extra grey tank capacity by letting it equalize with the black tank if necessary.
