Do ice cubes in the black tank really work?
I stumbled across an interesting YouTube video today that takes a look at the age old topic of pouring a bag of ice down the toilet. From what I can tell, it helps but only a little. I hadn't thoug...

It will work if you use enough ice and right amount of water. It is like rocks being sloshed around if you drive it on a rough road until they melt. Reason it works better when it is cold outside.
Put about a third of a tank of water and about half that in ice, and start driving immediately. That will clean the sides and should get some off the bottom but ice floats so too much water might not do too good on the bottom.
one thing that I think would work well, is with some liquid detergent and maybe some calgon in the bottom with valve closed a hose nozzle and good pressure in through the toilet. Especially one of those wand with the flow reducer taken out.Blast the bottom good and sides and when the tank is getting full, have someone open the sewer valve and keep blasting until the little clear elbow in the sewer hose runs clear and clean. Just be careful to keep the toilet flush valve open so it and the seal won't get damaged possibly.
If you can look into the emptied tank first with a flashlight and see what there is it would possibly help directing the nozzle.
Didn't say this is a bouquet of flowers experience.
Would this damage any sensors...someone know?
