Repair: Graywater Tank Sensor

The graywater tank sensor only activates when the tank is almost full. The graywater tank icon on the central computer console will flash (press the up/down arrow to stop the icon from flashing--just stays on).

The sensor is just a float.

In my case installed in a JC Bj. 2001. Whether the donor if necessary fit other models too, is beyond my knowledge.

Name: Barksdale 0111-208
Price: € 78.- plus shipping.

The price is not negotiable. I give only the manufacturer costs 1: 1 on, because I had to order two donors due to the minimum order value.

Mine went out again. Maybe it's all gunked up again like the last time; at least I hope so. I'll find out; it's on the list of chores.

AL

In my grey and fresh water tanks, I use WEMA level sensors. http://www.wemausa.com/ I assume the Westfalia switch is based on a floating magnet with a reed switch which Wema is using in their line. Give them a call, perhaps they can help with a custom or a non-custom equivalent, reed switch is a reed switch (often used in windows or doors alarm sensors). Their holding tank sensors have a shroud preventing solids to accumulate between the float and reed housing rod, I used on my DIY open floats sensors.

Good luck,

George.
