When you dump if you fill it back up with water and dump again each every time you dump the sensors WILL work all the time. The second fill up of plain water cleans out any paper/poop stuck to the sensors.
It's what I do and My sensors work all the time.:C
The only problem with this is, if you dump at the dump station because you do not have full hook-ups, you're going to have multiple RV.net forum members behind you complaining you are taking too long at the dump station. To fill the tank a second time and then dump it again, well, you've just added another 20 minutes or more to your stop at the dump station. (I'm just saying???) Full hook-up sites, yes you can spend the time to refill the holding tank, no problem. But at dump stations, you don't have the luxury of this much time.
If you are on a seasonal site, filling the tank a second time is about the only way to clean the sensors, unless you have a toilet wand or a black-tank flusher installed.
Nope, no where's near 20 minutes extra.
I'm outta there in no time! :B
I use the bathroom sink, faucets both wide open to fill black tank. Fills up that black tank real fast!
And actually in my experience I find it a rare occasion to have a long line of RV's behind you at a dump station. Unless you are in a park on a holiday and it's Sunday after noon when everyone is trying to beat feet out to get back home! :W
