Dump techniques....

What has me concerned about what the OP said, hopefully I read it wrong, after dumping he disconnects the sewer hose and continues to flush for an hour. Where does the water go. At first I thought he was rinsing the were hose with a water hose but the said he does his tank. This stuff cannot go on the ground. I also cringe when I see people stick a hose into the sewer hose, now that hose I'd gross and unusable for anything.

To put your mind at ease(hopefully), I disconnect the dump hose and hold it under the dump valve. The sprayer I use is a hand held attachment where you squeeze the handle and it squirts a stream of water up into the dump valve pipe/tank - I do not put the hose up the dump valve pipe. Rinsing the dump tank is the only purpose for that.
All the water etc. drains into the stinky slinky - none on the ground.

I have never timed it but I dump the black, go inside an stand on the peddle for a couple minutes and then totally fill the bowl 2-3 times to flush a rush of water. Go outside an close the black nod open the gray. While that is happening I go in, add water to the black tank and add the aqua chem. go out, close the gray, put the sewer hose away and wash up. This is all done at the site as we only go to full hookup sites, have never used a dump station.

This is the reason I ask - there has got to be a better way than I am doing it, and I may not need to worry about as much if it is not a problem.

Plus, I only take this long at full hook-up camp site, not a dump station.
My concern is how much is left in the tank after a quick dump.
