Gray/Black sensor problems

Been having issues with my gray/black sensors recently. Even after dumping it reports 1/3 full on black and 2/3 on gray.

First I verified that it was draining properly - after emptying I put a bowl of dyed water down the gray, and then I drained it into the bowl and got back the same amount and it was dyed.

After I empty I put Calgon/Blue Dawn in the holding tanks with 4-5 gallons of water. Yesterday I put all hot water in the gray tank with a generous amount of both before heading out on a 4 hour drive to try to let it swish around and clean the tank and sensors.

Is there anything I can do to fix it? The unit is less than 3 months old.

Did this help??

Personally, instead of using a dishwashing soap that makes tons of suds, I use a laundry detergent (Oxy-Clean), that seems to do a better job. Each morning, prior to travel, I use the liquid Oxy-Clean and liquid Calgon along with about 5 gals of water and I never experience odors or faulty tank gauge sensors. On non-traveling days, and when dumping the black tank, I will use the soapy water from the gray tank to help flush out everything in the black tank.

If you haven't headed out yet, let us know after you have completed your initial trip. You may have to do this several times if your tanks are really dirty.

Be sure to ALWAYS use LOTS of water in daily usage and when draining.

Good luck
