Thats a first class install by the OP, but I still don't understand the need.
As mentioned, most times when I dump my black tanks the 1/3rd full (and sometimes 2/3rd full) sensor remains on. The surefire way for me to fix it is to get out my extra hose, get out the spray wand and connect it, open the rear window and screen, feed everything through the rear bedroom (hoping not to get water/dirt/etc on the bed/floor/etc, put the wand down the toilet, go outside to turn on the water, come back in the RV and spray the interior of the black waste tank for a minute or two, turn off the water, check the sensors and do it some more if they aren't cleared, then carefully place the dripping wand into a garbage bag, then carry everything back through the rear bedroom and out the window, then close up the window and screen, then go back outside and remove the hose and wand, drain the water from them, put them back into their bag/container and then put them away.
OR, now I can simply connect the water hose to my Tornado tank flush and do everything from the outside in 1/3 the time with zero mess. That's my motivation. The added benefit is that undeniably my black waste tank interior will be cleaner with less residue and matter remaining after I do a flush. This method will even be FASTER while at the public dump station than the hose+wand solution. These are all positives.
Happy dumping!
