That’s what I do — flush one or two gallons of fresh water through the head during pump out when the pump runs dry. Seems to work OK. I also pour about a cup of Hydrofil, which I get from Fawcetts in Annapolis, in the head and flush into the tank several times between pump outs. This works better than anything else I have tried for controlling odor.
