Be careful with the way you are doing that or you may burst your tank! If your blank tank rinse is like mine, you are not supposed to use it with the gate valve closed...too much pressure or a blocked vent and you'll have a burst tank. Having said that, I will close my gate valve for a minute and then open, repeating the process while letting the rinser do its job. I would suggest you get a clear elbow attachment to go on the sewer hose connection so you can monitor what is coming out. Fill it with water and load it up with an enzyme digester....let it sit for as long as you can. Good luck!

Yep, I know the tank valve is supposed to be open for a routine dump / flush, but I have been trying to fill the tank and loosen the "pyramid". It worked, by the way. I just went out and drained and I can tell 99% of solids are now broken up / mixxed. Not everything flowed out, but enough to tell that one more fill / dump cycle will probably be all it needs.
I guess I will get the toilet wand and the Johnny Chock (Thanks to the poster who put that up! I would not have thought of it.) and be prepared to use that since this installed flusher is not good for this situation, in spite the sales guys promises that "You'll never need anything else!"
Now I just have to get the leaking vacuum breaker / check valve fixed and I'll be all set.
