Water pressure regulator/ black tank rinse
Is a water pressure regulator recommended for the Black tank rinse, or can it take full pressure??

As there is no shutoffs in the flush system, no pressure will build up, so full pressure should be used to flush.

I wouldn't say, "No pressure," as the spray nozzle in the tank will cause back-pressure in the line. It will not be enough to worry about, though, and the more pressure - the better the rinse. I have never used a pressure regulator on the black tank rinse line... I did have the back-flow/check valve on that line fail and leak once, but I don't think it was related to pressure.

Besides, my black flush hose never touches any part of my fresh water system like my pressure regulator. I even have two separate little water meters so that I can put 10 gallons of water in my black tank after dumping without compromising any bacteria barriers.
