I had stayed at a couple of CG's that had horrific well water and coincidentally my sensors were not working properly.
A month later I was going over my RV manuals and came across a chapter on holding tanks and it stated that different types of just water does foul the sensors on the tanks and they said just flushing with water will not restore them, recommending a cleaner.
I bought a bottle of it and yes it cleared up the problem.
I'm one of the few, I guess, that my sensors work all the time. But I do practice using plenty of water in the black and always running a full tank of plain water thru the black after every dump and I don't put food stuffs or grease of any type down the gray.
AND I add a bottle of Thetford sensor cleaner every couple of months to both tanks with a full tank of plain water to remove the minerals off the sensors from CG well water.
