The standard "Sensor" is basically a nail. if it's wet the level must be that high right (NO it's not)
Sometimes, you add like a half to cup of Dawn. plus a half to cup of Calgon water softerner and fill tank to aroudn 1/3 or 1/2 with water and drive and dump. once the bubbles pop it will show empty.. SOMETIMES Steam cleaning works. Sometimes a water jet (Valterra Master blaster though I don not like the design of the break it off jet) can blast the slime off the wall. Sometimes.
See Level Sensors.. those work
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

And the Myth Continues ![[emoticon]](https://forums.goodsamclub.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/doh.gif "doh")
Ha, unless you’re inside the tank, how would you know?? (lol!)

Well, not too sure about the ‘mythology’ so please excuse my poor attempt at humor ![[emoticon]](https://forums.goodsamclub.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile") but on a more serious note you could do what I did (almost 13 years ago) and invest in a SeeLevel monitor by Garnet…The sensors rest OUTSIDE of the tank (via double stick tape) and very accurate and trouble free - This puts this dreaded issue behind you…

IAMICHABOD welcome to playing "whack a mole". You are in excellent company.

To have the sensors work they have to be treated OFTEN. But we can't make a reliable level sensor even for nuclear reactors.

I use Seelevel. Fresh water tank is where I can see the level. Turn off water push pedal, shine light in hole and see level. Grey tank best guess.

I installed a Quickie Flush with custom spray pattern directed at the sensors and extra water to the rear of the tank.
OEM sensors work like new for 16 years.

I have never had a reason to use the ice theory in any of my other trailers. The reasoning behind the time I did use it was due to waste build up that had solidified from the previous owner before it sat on a dealers lot. It was a 3 hour drive home to the storage lot, and it worked for me anyway.
