Well we still are having some issues but I'm getting closer to a solution, I think. I just tried using ALL laundry soap with some good results. I'm going to see how long before the stupid readings start again. My next attempt will be with AWESOME. It's cheap and it should clean the scum really well. I'll keep you posted.

Aren't you concerned if you get something too strong you'll start to deteriorate the rubber seals on the waste gate? Just askin'....

BTW....My grey has been reading good lately. When I get to moving.....I kinda use a geo-method concoction..... rockin'

No, because the concentration won't be that great. I will only use one cup and I don't put it in until there's at least 5 gals in the tank. That's a pretty weak solution. I won't empty the tank until it's pretty full.

Most of us are having trouble with our gray tank sensor. Black tank sensor works great. I've actually thought about it, but can't see any way to get ice cubes into the gray tank.

Grey issue...it is... We are even getting even more cautious about cleaning everything off the dishes before we (I) wash them. It seems to work on the scum in the grey tank. rockin'
