I love our SS. We boondock a lot and come home with stuff in the tanks. My city sewer company charges $15 to dump. So I go home and at my leisure clean my tanks.
My sewer cleanout is 30' away. I have a section of old 1" hard fire hose (reel line) that connects to the SS. A garden hose and a y-adapter to the tank flusher and I am in business.
Does it use water? I suppose so. At 1.5 GPM off my faucet and 10 minutes of flushing that's 15 gallons of water. But I sit quietly and empty my tanks in peace, never worrying about people impatiently waiting behind me.
In my personal experience, it is the best way to dump at home. On the road I have a slinky hose. And I hate it.
