Since I have a built-in black tank flush I see no benefit in holding back the gray water for irrigation of hose after black tank drained. One less thing for me to keep up with by having grays open all the time. I would still need to be outside when I irrigated the black tank anyway. I close grays ONLY when its freezing outside as ice accumulation would close the drainage. I don't see that much freezing weather to justify the expense.

Cost of Gray water valve @ Y-connector: $ 21.43

Cost of the Electric Waste Valve: $ 149.99

Guess I'm cheap as I see no reason to pay an additional $ 125 for the convenience of electric valves. If I were in an environment where its freezing frequently, I could see the benefit of the system as it would eliminate problems of gray water freezing in the hoses and obstructing outflow. In those freezing environments, holding the gray water in a heated tank until time to empty would be ideal.

I'd just like to find a system to automatically empty and irrigate my blank tank so I don't have to mess with that crap!

Both black and gray tanks closed until 2/3 full or time to leave. I dump the black first with a good flush, then the gray. I have a dictated black flush hose.

Black closed, grey open all time

Gray open until the day before we leave.Black closed until it needs dumped and flush out with tank flush 3 times.

I keep the black closed till the day we depart and keep the grey open till the night prior to departure. Then I flush the black 3 times!
