Couple of reasons for hose at dump station to have end cut off:
1) Folks hook it up to black tank flush and spend WAY too much time flushing while others are waiting to dump

Hose is just for rinsing dump hose/fittings and surrounding area if mess is made
NOT for flushing tanks.
It's a dump station.........pull up/dump/GO!
Agreed.
I don't even have a black tank rinse. If no one is inline behind me I dump a couple of buckets of water down the toilet and go.
If there are other people behind me I dump and get out of their way.
I really just don't get why it is necessary to get your black tank so clean that you could do surgery in it. As long as the solids go out it is fine. To do that make sure you have enough water in the tank to make the solids move.
The black tank rinse thing is a gimmick that someone though up and now everybody thinks they need.
Mine smelled really bad when it sat around in our driveway for a couple weeks after I skipped the rinse. And I use those deodorizing things. Smelled like a porta-potty.
