Ice Cubes in Black Tank
I've put ice cubes in our black tank from time to time. I ran across this video on youtube where this practice is tested. I thought some of you might find it interesting. :)

I have used ice cubes to clean the tank level sensors.
I do this after dumping the tank and flushing with the tank flusher.
Then fill tank about 1/2 full of water and 10-20 lbs of ice.
Drive for a 100 or more miles and purposely wag the trailer.
This has worked but the sensors start reading high all of the time after only a couple camping trips.
Thus the result is too short lived and I just keep track of water usage to determine when black tank needs to be dumped.
