I was going to install a tank flushing system on my trailer but after doing a bench test to see how efficient the spray nozzle worked I came to the conculsion that they just don't work.

If you don't believe me then I suggest you set up your own mock up and bench test it, see for yourself!

So, here's my comments to all three of you.

1.) The supply line pressure is the key to making a 'Rinsing' system work. So too start with what is your supply line pressure when flowing?.....

2.) So how good is the pressure and flow going to be at most the places where you dump?

3.) How big are your tanks?....mine are around 70 gallons each.

and related to the referenced video, what's the shape of your waste piping downstram of the tanks?.....if it were to go through a 90 degree elbow the spray stream would be deflected, how would that work?

I bench tested the system that spins around and from what I saw I decided it was not worth the time and effort to install it.

I'm planning on a wand with a nozzle, I think that's the best way.

There's a whole other side to this issue as well, it's what you put into the tank that creats the 'rinsing' issues, isn't it?
