As with farm manure lagoons, you really would prefer to agitate the whole thing & get the sediment mixed up with the fluids. Then pump the sediment (solids) pumped out.
Your way you are getting out all the liquids, but only a part of the solids/ sediment.
Nothing really wrong with that.
But the point of pumping a tank out is to get the solids out of the bottom. The liqud should find it's way to the drain field ok.
You'll pull a few solids from around the tube, but not really clean them out.
Again, nothing wrong your way, but not the mostest efficent at what a person is trying to accomplish.
