Replaced blown hose in the hotwater heater, accidently flushed black tank for 2 hours while at the store getting the new hotwater heater hose...DOH!!!
Let us know if the level gauge works now! :B
Ha!
That's how I clean my level gauge. I bought a flush attachment that connects to a water hose. It has a single stream of water and I point it at my black tank sensors and let it blast away.
First time I had my wife watch the read out on the level gauge display and tell me when she saw a change. When I directed the stream directly on the the upper most sensor it would light up.
Now I know where to point the water. I move it up and down so I get all the sensors. I will turn on the water and let it blast away while I attend to another project. Usually after 20 minutes or so all sensors are clean and I get good readings. It maght take longer if sensors haven't been cleaned for awhile.
Also, I have hot water on the outside of the house so I use hot water. I don't know it that makes a difference or not.
Safe Travels.
