Although I’m fairly familiar with how liquid sensor levels work, here is the dilemma: my rear (kitchen sink) #1 GRY label on the control panel constantly shows two red lights, never one, three, or four. I understand that that the black tank has a much higher potential to cover/stick objects to the sensors and return an incorrect reading, however, it seems to me that other than the occasional small piece of food that may sneak down the Kitchen sink, the vast majority of product that goes down the drain is nothing more than soapy water. This being the case, I would THINK that it SHOULD be much more difficult for a gray tank sensor to read inaccurate than a black tank. My bathroom shower/sink gray tank reads accurate.
So, I tried to fill my rear gray tank all the way up to hopefully ‘wash/flush’ away anything stuck to the guilty sensor(s). No matter how much water I sent down the sink, the light response remained on two and it occurred to me that maybe I should not continue to fill for fear of causing an overflow or damage of some sort.
My question is, short of buying an indicator that attaches to a garden hose and shows how many gallons have passed out the hose, what is the best way I can tell that I’m approaching the max 45 gal capacity without risking any damage? Will the ‘overflow’ just back up into the sink? If so, is there a risk that waiting for even that to happen could cause damage?
Any and all recommendations, suggestions, and tips are much appreciated.
