tecma toilet on anthem 21

we emptied tanks and just noticed light in mid ship bath is blinking between green and yellow. tried a 12 volt reset but didn't help. back toilet is solid green. couldn't find anything in manual wondered if anyone else has had this issue and what they did. Tried flushing the toilet thinking some toilet paper might have gotten caught but didn't help. thanks

Try to hold the flush button for 10 seconds and see if the toilet will flush. You have different sensors for each toilet. You could be having an issue with the sensors and that’s why the lights are flashing. Reach out to any Nirvc service department for any further repairs. Let me know if that allows you to flush the toilet snd what the lights do. Thanks

And if that doesn’t work, try flushing more water into the tank. We get the same green/yellow flash on our rear bath only after a days travel. We also find doing a load of laundry will clear it. Go figure.

thanks all, we can flush the toilet it is just the light is blinking yellow/green and it should just be green. We will watch it and see if it clears. the good news is the new tank sensors seem to work great. We have an appointment at nirv in phoenix in January so will add to list if necessary.

Just my 2 cents worth, but if your Tecma has a 2-button flush control panel like mine does, those lights are for indicating the tank level of your black tank.
Tecma has available a pair of black tank level sensors that work with your toilet control to indicate as follows.


Green LED indicates a black tank level below 50 or 60% full.
Yellow LED indicate above 50 - 60% but below 90 -95% full.
Red LED indicates above 90 - 95% black tank level with maybe 10 flushes
of tank capacity left before the black tank is "full!!

These values are based upon where on the side of your black tank the installer placed the sensors, but these values are what my Tecma are set at.


I hope this helps.

Attach a hose to black tank sprayer. Fill tank to about 80% then drain tank. Doing this a couple of times should clean the insides of the tank. Check also to see that your sensors haven’t come loose.

My rear toilet stays yellow all the time. 1/2 bath works correctly. I don't even pay attention to the rear one anymore. However it'll be interesting to see if that changes when I get a new controller (or whatever it is called) at the end of the month. I'm trying to fix my rear toilet as it won't flush when it is hot in the bathroom (like after a day of driving) and NIRVC says I need a new controller. I'll let you know if that changes how the light behaves.

It is a normal indication

This is normal. There is a strip on the side of your black tank that sends a signal to the indictor light in your bathroom. This is separate from the strip that tells indicates the tank level on your SeeLevel tank monitor. It means your level is at the edge of low- and mid-level. Flush a few more times and the yellow will come on solid. Take a little out of your tank and the green will come on solid. It is nothing to worry about.
