Re: Macerator toilet system to replace entire vacuflush system
Reply #50 –
One function we will lose is full tank toilet shut down system.
The vacuflush has a full tank sensor that stops the toilet from flushing. In seven years plus, we have only hit that full tank shutoff 2 to 3 times when boondocking or in parks with electric and water but no sewer drop.
Dometic sells a optional full tank sensor system for the Master Flush macerator. We will not get it. No access to top of tank to add it to black tank, hassle running wiring, and some people have had issues with false system shutdown and clipped the wires.
I had added See Level Garnet tank `monitoring in the past, one display in basement by dump valves, one inside coach.
I will replace one of the two monitors with blue tooth capable Garnet BTP-709. Same size display, just some wiring change right at monitor, so easy change. Introducing the All-New 709-BTP7 – Garnet Instruments
BTP-709: Available for both iOS and Android devices, the app enables users to access real-time tank levels, set customizable alerts for when tanks are too high.
We only use fresh, grey, black, and battery functions. We will just ignore the alt and water pump switch on the new monitor. We will set alerts via blue tooth app for fresh, black and grey tank levels.
Existing monitor to replace:
Update on the BTP-709 bluetooth seelevel tank monitor/display
It works great to see tank levels anywhere in or near the coach and to send notifications to the cell phone at specific user selected low/high tank levels.
As a one and only monitor it works great. If you currently have 2 tank displays (I have one inside and one in sewer bay by dump valves) it creates a issue.
The bluetooth one polls the tanks continuously, one after the other. As it polls the tanks, the legacy display montor will err and/opn as that specific tank you push the button for is polled.
Solution one: on the legacy display keep hitting the button for that tank until not being polled - it will display normally.
Solution two: ignore the legacy display and just use the cell phone app.
If installing seelevel tank monitoring from scratch, only one display is needed, mounted either inside or outside. Just get the bluetooth monitor solution and use cell phone app from anywhere in/near the coach.
