Quick drain for fresh water?

Hi! I’ve a 290BHS and am sanitizing for the first time? Is there a quick way to drain the fresh tank? We’ve got the small drain open, but it’s gonna take forever to drain and then refill and drain to rinse. Our old Jayco had a quick drain option which used the pump and some drains with gate valves to speed the process. Is there any way to speed up draining in the Bullets? I don’t see anything in the manual. Thanks!

Open up all the cold water faucets and turn on the pump.

Yes. Open the drain, go have dinner. When it's time to rinse, open it again and go have desert with a cup of joe. . Well that's what I do anyway sometimes and if I'm a day or two ahead of schedule. Otherwise, while it's draining I check out other critical systems like tire pressures, lug nut torque, turn on the fridge, load up the gear in the truck and some in the camper, double check propane, add chemicals to the tanks, bring the truck around and check brake and signal lights and bring out the generator and run the A/C for a few minutes (or furnace if in the winter) to make sure it's operating. I hate surprises.
