Rv fresh water tank sensors not working.

After some time you ll find that the gray and black water tank sensors will not be accurate. Savvy rvers understand that solid waste shouldn t be allowed to go down your drain lines and end up in your gray tank. Before you take it back to the dealer fill up the other tanks to make sure they work. Why your gray tank sensors aren t working correctly.

Here s what i ve done and where i m at with the problem. Black and grey are working fine. But seeing the trailer is new there s no reason why they should not work now. Before we get started on how to restore rv tank level monitors in your rv s gray tank let s briefly discuss what is happening to make them malfunction.

The best way to keep your tanks sensors working correctly is to take proper care of the tank itself. How it works. This new improved product is the ultimate in detailed measurement and will measure 3 or 4 tanks up to 1 8. Here s why these sensors work in your rv s holding tank.

You need some water in the tanks to help clean off the sensors and the walls so add enough fresh water to fill each wastewater tank about a third of the way. The waste tanks are more prone to sensor issues simply because of the nature of the materials contained than fresh water tanks so we will focus on those. Rv level gauges are usually a type of flat sensor or pair of rods that measure conductivity. Waste will accumulate on the black tank rv level sensor and it will show the same reading all the time.

That s the nature of the beast. Some rv owners have even suggested flushing ice down the toilet and then driving around a bit to create agitation. My fresh water tank always reads empty regardless of how much water is in it. Then you ll add rv holding tank cleaner or even simple dish detergent.
