Only time i have seen that is when the plastic covering was not removed from the optic sensor.

Mine did the same thing when I bought it,...spent hours trying to figure out why it was happening, the only difference was my float wasn't working either (still doesn't due to the magnet???)...I took it back to where I bought it from and funny enough it worked then no problem...re-installed it back in my sump and it has been working ever since. the float is still an issue though.

Mine begun to do that occasionally starting in December after 4 years of working flawlessly. So I added another water level sensor to my apex and now have the Tunze shut off for 30 min anytime its triggered... In your case I'd try to get it replaced under warranty.

I don't see any plastic cover on the sensor other than the hard plastic cone. I am assuming that is the cover for the sensor.cale262: My float works perfect. It is the only thing that keeps the tank from overflowing. It is the optical sensor that doesn't work.whatcaneyedo: The guy I talked to from the store said they would probably have to replace it with a new one. I was hoping that it was just something stupid on my part so I didn't have to change it out.

Tried the soapy water wash. I am now giving it a quick soak in vinegar.
I'm leaving for a couple weeks and I was hoping I would have this working before I left. My wife is a little less than adequate when it comes to caring for my aquarium when I'm gone.
