I definitely think that your original test would have been much better, if some kind of flushing had been done with the 3" hose setup (whether that flush was done with a tank rinser, flush king, whatever).
You did a flush afterward with the Sewer Solution, but not with the 3" hose. Its no surprise (and not a fair comparison), that you'd end up with a cleaner tank with the sewer solution and flush afterward vs 3" with no flush.
My bet is that if you do a flush afterward with both approaches, you're going to find the tank gets cleaned, emptied 'bout the same with either approach.
Yes and no... The sewer solution comes with a built in flushing valve, while a standard 3" stinky slinky is just for draining. So it was interesting to see what does, and doesn't, end up draining from the tank.
True, but many RVs come with a built in tank flusher that would be used after dumping with a 3" hose. And, there's a lot of folks that have installed quickie or tornado flush units, on rigs that didn't come with a tank flusher. Or, use a Flush King or other device to allow flushing with use of a 3" hose.
There's no doubt that flushing afterward vs not flushing afterward is going to result in a drastic difference in how much 'stuff' remains in the tank, regardless whether you use a 3" hose, sewer solution, whatever. A more useful test will be to see when a flush is done afterward with both setups, what difference there is.
