Re: Gray water tank sensor/float switch
Do you know what brand/type of sensor it is? Maybe the answer is going with a different type of sensor/sender and monitoring system that won't be affected by the tank's contents. If it's a plastic tank, you can install external sensors that stick to the outside tank wall and won't be affected by sludge. There are also sensors that shoot ultrasonic/sounds waves from the top of the tank to determine levels such as Maretron's TLM1000. There is no probe sticking into the tank, just the transducer mounted on top of it. It's a NMEA 2000 system so you'd have to either have a network already set up as part of your navigation display/gear or set up a dedicated network and small display for monitoring tank levels. With a NMEA 2000 network, you can add more sensors for other tanks and systems, the possibilities there are endless. BEP makes an ultrasonic unit too (TS1) that has a resistive output compatible with just about any gauge/monitor.
