Howdy and Welcome to iRV2
I do not recall who made it, but there is a sensor cleaner out there. Being its your gray take, have you put anything in it? The gray tank can get a lot of scum. I am sure a lot of folks will suggest what you can clean it with or make yourself to clean it.

Read through this previous discussion. It should help you.
If that doesn't do the trick, maybe a moderator could move this discussion out of the website tech forum to another forum where it'll get more exposure.
Glad to have you here! Keep asking those questions. There's a wealth of great folks here to help.

There is great need for a sarcasm font.

I learned from this forum to put 1 capful of liquid calgon water softener in the gray and black tanks to clean the tanks and sensors.
i get the calgon from wally world.
my black and gray sensors are working well now. my fresh water tank sensors are not working well. i don't want to put anything in the fresh tank except chlorine. that has not fixed it yet.

We clean our tank/plumbing lines/faucetts/WH
twice a year by putting (1) gal generic white vinager per (15) gals of water into the tank and run it through the system several minutes until the vinegar smell is evident. After 3-4 hrs, the tank is drained and fresh water is put back in running agin several minutes to clear the lines. Keeps calcium/lime dissolved in the system and the sensors clean.

My advice would be to forget about the internal sensors - they are always getting clogged and giving false readings. Instead, add a set of Garnet See Level external sensors and gauge panel. You won't regret it.

We put 1 1/2 gallon white vinegar in the gray holding tank and drove 300 miles and when we got to our destination drained the tank and it read EMPTY thank you for the advice we will do this often to keep it clean
Thanks again Sharon

My sensors don't read correctly in the black or grey tanks either - thanks for the advice about the See Level - I will check that out. In the meantime, I dump the grey water at least every other day as I take a shower in the rig every day. Better than it backing up in the shower or sink . . . .
