You can do that and "try to win" the sensor battle, but at what cost? Calgon is several bucks a package, liquid detergent is also expensive. When adding up the cost of doing that as often as needed, is seeing lights on a panel really worth the expense? I suppose with unlimited income, it might be an "ego booster" to say, "I won the sensor battle" but in reality, it's literally money down the drain..... And, one piece of wet TP that hangs on a sensor during dumping will negate everything you poured down the drain.
After a few trips with the RV, most owners know how long they can go on the black tank before it's full, and they listen during the flush and can tell when they have a day or two left before needing to dump. That experience can easily save the money spent on chemicals poured down the drain and then flushed at the dump station.....
