It has been done by several people, but it's not something that's common. It's a pretty easy install if your tank is exposed and the end that you need to install the sprayer into is not blocked. If you have a covered underbelly and/or the shallow end of the tank is right against a beam or support, it can be a bit of a challenge to install one.

As Bama said, it has been done and a tank flusher can be added to any tank if so desired.

I really don't see any need on a grey tank though.

You 'should' be doing your due diligence and scraping leftover food particles in the trash before washing and certainly never pour grease down any drain. If you follow these guidelines, then all that is left in the tank is liquid. There are no solids to flush out.

... and dump some degreaser like Super Clean with a couple gallons of water in the grey tank periodically just before heading out on the road and dump the tank when you arrive.

I too really see no need on a galley tank. I'll treat that tank also, and avoid much in solids going down the drain. As a former maintenance guy in a high school I'd place signs above sinks,
" Please don't pour your left over soup and chunky latte's down the sink drain"

I had a galley tank for 4 years in my Surveyor and only dumped a gallon of water down the sink after each dumping. Never had a problem. I see no need for a sprayer.

Now, thankfully, I no longer have a galley tank with my Freedom Express.
