That sensor has been giving us grief for a while now. Time to replace it?

However, it does not currently work right so we’re leaving it unplugged while the tank level is close to the cut off trigger values for fill/stop.

In the meantime, the power from the outlet to the side of the Levcon box is disconnected, because we weren’t sure that the solenoid could handle the fluctuation between on and off given how fast the sensor reading is changing. It's much faster (and wider range) then it should be. Something is wrong with the battery monitor/charger component on the inside of the box which is getting 11.8 V from the wall outlet but only outputting 10.2 V to the controller panel. well, see how it all behaves again after the battery is charged all the way.
