Cleaning boxes
More than likely most people already do this.
As we use hot mud in a 7" for first coat, that needs to be cleaned out asap, we get a pump up garden/rose sprayer about 5ltr size, after getting the worst out spray with the sprayer and your good to go.
Got to be done before it starts stiffening up
We fill the box by hand, and don't use a pump for hot mud

I like the idea of the BTE tube,

I put (hot mud) through my pump and 7" box. I have a small pressure washer which cost me £30 which I run of my geny and a bucket of water, I set it up ready to go before I mix 2 or 3 buckets depending on house size, start the clock and run for an hour the wash out. Oh Yeh I shortened the lance so its easier to hold the box/pump with one hand while washing with the other.
