The probes are positive to battery.
"The 3 probes on the left are placed so that they sense the different water levels. Electrical current flows between the metal tips of probes connected to a PLUS (+) of a battery and the one on the right, which is connected to the MINUS (-) through the liquid. This current lights up the LEDs."

I can't tell from the OP and this linked info if the new protected probes will read right if the tank has not been fully cleaned out. I would try to clean it out. Even a garden hose with nozzle set to a good spray shoved down the toilet would help.
