The truth of the matter is...ignore the sensors. They are NOT reliable. Try to keep them operating properly is futile and a source of frustration. The answer is...the black tank will begin to make life unpleasant with it's odours after a week, if you are underway. It will not natter how much chemical you throw down it..after 7 days, it will overpower anything. So...dump on day 6, if you can..or day 7, latest.
If it will put your head in a better place, toss down a cup of a dish soap or vinegar. Won't hurt anything..also will not clean your sensors.
And for sure..after dumping, put in water. How much? I open the spigot and count to 10..slowly.
Please don't try and win the "clean sensor" battle. You cannot. You 'may' get them clean...once...but not forever.
