If indicator shows RED shortly after installation of a primary element which has been cleaned approximately 6 times, change to another clean element.
NOTE: The primary element should be replaced after being cleaned a maximum of 6 times. Replace the element once a year even though it has not been cleaned 6 times.
If indicator still shows RED shortly after the installation of the clean primary element, change the secondary element.
Replace the secondary element at the time the primary element is cleaned for the fourth time.
