Grey Tank - Is it ok to partially empty?

Gray water from a trailer is the same kind of water tenters dispose on the ground every day.

Yes this is a true statement but how many tenters do you see dumping 50-100 gallons of water on the ground?

Chris,
I have a 2016 317RST and "Grey Tank II" is the kitchen sink grey-water tank on my unit. "Grey Tank I" is my shower and lavatory sink grey-water tank. The pull handle order from right to left is Black; Grey I; Grey II. My sequence of draining is: Black; Grey II then Grey I last. I have also, on occasion, drained off 5-10 gallons from Grey I & II, if either gets full, using the 'Orange' hose (black-water wash-out, see link below) and 5 gallon bucket method; mostly when dry-camping. I know Grey II is full when the water backs-up in the kitchen sink. Standing water in the shower is my signal to drain Grey I. I like both 'grey' tanks as full as possible when I dump them so as to thoroughly wash-out the black-water residual, even when I have full hook-ups. The indicators for my tanks register "full" before they actually are full. (I know... shock and suprise

)
