"Till the water runs clear"? - You guys using your black tank for drinking water or what?
I drain the tank, give it a 2 minute flush to ensure all the solids are gone and move along so the next guy can dump. It's a holding tank for poo, how clean does it need to be? It's going to get dirty again next use.
Nope, not drinking the water, but I do want to avoid solids getting left in the tank. We camp mostly at Full Hook Up sites, so not wasting anyone's time but my own. When we do use a dump station, don't usually flush the tank unless there is no one else in line. We also don't wait in line to use the dump station. If there is a line, I just go home with full tanks and deal with them at home.
