Many folks have swapped the sensors out for different ones. I have not.
There are those who have good success with their black tank sensors, and those that do not. I've always had good success and mine have always worked and worked consistent. There are those who say, no matter what they've done to clean their tanks their sensors still do not work right. Maybe so. But here's what we've done in 4 different campers, and all 4 had sensors that worked the day we purchased the camper, and still worked the day we sold it.
1. Dump all the contents out of your Black tank.
2. Do a "backflush" (if your black and grey outlets feed to one outlet) by getting a 3rd detachable valve and backflush the grey tank into the black tank a couple times. This cleans out a LOT more stuff than you can imagine.
3. If you cannot do this, then add water through the toilet and flush the tank again, or if you have a built in tank flusher, use it. The goal here is to get as much toilet paper and crud that sticks to everything out of the bottom of the tank.
4. Once you have emptied your tank as much as humanly is possible, add about 5 or 6 gallons of water back into the tank via the toilet. Add a bit of Dawn Dishwashing liquid, or Tide liquid laundry soap, or any kind of liquid dishwashing liquid and hit the road. It's really that simple.
5. The sloshing of the water in the tank will clean the sensors the sloshing water will beat off anything sticking to them. Just dumping, things still stick to them and get caught as the level lowers slowly. Driving will cause the water to beat against the sensors. End result... sensors clean, nothing stuck to them any longer and work.
Add water after every final dump when traveling to your next destination, and they will almost always work. I say "almost" because if you are stationary for a length of time, the longer you sit and dump your tanks without moving, the greater chances are stuff will get stuck to the sensors. Once it does, water movement is about the only way to get them cleaned off again.

OR.....buy these and never have to guess again besides the clean slosh methods rarely works to much work and is just a temporary fix for an on going problem that will return when you don`t need it the most.
Easy install and uses existing wiring. I`ve had them for a couple of years now and they work flawlessly and 100 % accurate and unaffected buy your dumping schedule/methods. Besides before I had to argue with and inanimate object, wife was beginning t wonder.
