A fluid containment system includes a container, a sensor, and a splash shield. The container has a bottom and defines an interior configured for holding a volume of fluid. The volume of fluid is variable between a low volume range and a filled range. The sensor is operatively disposed in the interior of the container in spaced relationship to the bottom. The sensor is configured to be at least partially submerged in the fluid only when the volume is in the filled volume range. The splash shield is operatively disposed within the interior of the container at a barrier level defined between the sensor and the bottom. As such, the splash shield is disposed between the sensor and a surface level of the fluid when a level of the fluid is less than the barrier level to provide a barrier to prevent fluid from splashing onto the sensor.
