Black water tank probes

Once again our black water sensor is reading incorrectly.  I know we have a built in washer for the black water tank but it seems it is necessary to clean that tank out after each use, and then the probe may still not read properly.  Just did a search on the internet on RV tank probes and ran into a very interesting probe.  It is called the Horst Miracle Prob and can replace the probes in our gray, black and fresh water tanks, as needed.  The video fully describes why we all are having problems with incorrect readings and this Horst version seems to resist false readings because of the way it is designed.  Replacement seems quite easy and I'm wondering if anyone has replaced the original probes with the Horst version.  I may have to be the guinea pig on this, but these tank sensors are prone to false readings too often and seem to resist cleaning.  They are installed in the original holes of our sensors and just a wrench and screwdriver will be the only tools needed.  Cost of a pair is about $62.  Any comments?  Safe Travels. 

I like your idea, but it seems like the sight glass tube in the black water tank could become plugged too easily.

Hmmm, well the top of the tube for the black tank could include a valve to flush the sight glass and the tank itself.

We had the dealer add the "Tornado" to clean the black tank before we brought the POD home, with the help of the "Water Thief" I always clean the tank before we come home. We have never really had any issues with false readings. Goose

My dad has been rv'ing for nearly 40 years. He says, and I quote, "when you see poop in the pipe, she's full"..

They have had everything from a VW Westfallia to a 53' DP. He says NO ONE makes a gauge that is 100% reliable.
