Systems and Parts Available

The monitoring system we will focus on here is for the blackwater waste holding tank.

There are a few variations of the tank monitoring systems Dometic has offered over the years.  Early on, prior to the DTM04 system there was the TankWatch 1, 2, 3, & 4 monitoring with 1-3 probes.

The most current monitoring system is the DTM04 (Dometic Tank Monitor) which consists of a threaded cap with 3 probes to monitor 1) Empty/Low, 2) Mid, and 3) Full levels.  It screws into a 3” holding tank spin weld thread or universal 3” threaded adapter and is offered in a vented or unvented version. (Level monitors). You can purchase an entire system including the level monitors and panel (DTM04 22” Unvented) or you can purchase them separately.

If your monitoring system isn’t working:

Toilet paper or debris can wrap around the floats at the bottom of the probe causing them to remain stationary and not “float” up and down to provide a proper reading when coming in contact with water. Unthread your cap to pull the floats out to clean & rinse the floats to repair mobility or purchase new ones (22” Flex Probe). Another option is to purchase a new cap and probes complete if multiple probes are nonfunctional. If you have no readings at the monitoring panel it may be that the panel that has gone bad (DTM04 Panel) replace if needed.
