I hate how difficult it is to turn it and get it out of the magnet, without moving the magnet and screwing up the height of the water. What I need to do is stop locking it all the way in.In general the optic sensor just needs cleaning by a mild acid (vinegar or citric acid) every 6 months, if you are having more frequent issues than that, something needs to be addressed with the set up or the controller.
I hate the difficulty too and got tired of the sensor getting dirty because of low water movement in the return pump area. I bought an inexpensive powerhead on Amazon and moved the sensor to the middle of my sump.I hate how difficult it is to turn it and get it out of the magnet, without moving the magnet and screwing up the height of the water.

In any case, normally if I notice that it's not kicking on, I just dip my finger in the water and wipe off the sensor. That'll typically keep it running just fine for another few weeks.
