Wonder what the "issues" they found with Dawn detergent?
I've used it exclusively for many years. Both with traditional sensors on my previous trailer and Seelevel on my current.
I've experienced no issues using Dawn Ultra blue detergent. 8 oz in an empty tank after dumping.

I thought the same thing.....no clear explanation. I guess mainly cause I haven't used Dawn brand stuff in my tank. rockin'

PS I bet the original Dawn is okay. HA Seems like any "hints" you get for other things always refers to the original Dawn, not the newer ones that have stuff added. Stick with ole blue.

Hey guys, we use the drain screens in the kitchen sink and catch a lot of food particles. Lately I have noticed, just below the cross bars in the drain, a build up of gunk. Any ideas what I can use to clean out/remove this gunk without harming the drain pipes or tank?

It's the only way I could be sure the pipes were completely clean.

I am in the process of installing a 709 P3 in my Newmar Essex, and it did not come with wiring instructions, any help would be much appreciated.
I can only assume that I am to group the black wires to the display and T off to a ground and group the blue sensor wires to the display.
The pump switch has 3 spade terminals which are not marked and there is no instruction.
Many Thanks,
JVR

Here is a link to See Level Support. Scroll down to your model. One of the options is a manual. Download it to your computer.

Thanks Ron,
I have already read that and it does not elaborate on the 3 spade terminal on the pump switch.
