Head tank won't completely empty.

We can never manage to get our heads tank empty using a variety of different pump out locations. The result is the same regardless of where we pump out. We can manage to only pump out about 2/3 of the tank. Does anyone else have this issue? I was thinking of putting a Y-valve in and using the macerator as an assist when the tank gets low while pumping out. Has anyone else addressed this issue? Any ideas?
Thanks,

Head tank won't completely empty

Hi Mark

I recently purchased hull 28 and was wondering if you ever found a solution? Was the issue really the tank not emptying or the sensor staying at 1/4 full when the tank was actually empty? I apparently have the same issue, but I suspect the sensor. I have not pulled the sensor yet to have a look.

Thanks,

I think it is empty sensor

I think it is empty sensor being very low in the tank. It's a shallow, long tank. If it ever does get to empty it only stays there for a couple flushes. You will find it stays on low for a short while and then on medium for a long time before being full.
