My filter light is green. Does that mean I need to clean the filter or will it turn red when that is needed?

When the light comes on it needs to be cleaned. Refer to your instruction included with your unit, it tells you how to clean it.

Mine to stopped working. It now just stays red even if I change the filter. I am lost and going to call the company.

You use the green scrubby part of a dish sponge to scrub the outside of the filter. Mine clogged in 24 hours and cleaning didn't help. They sent replacements but

I have not had any problems with my filter. I check it periodically, the usage seems correct. I'm still very pleased with I would guess the filter would be at fault. The electronics are in the filter. Gary

Hi, There is no "light." The green color slowly revolves to a yellow section, then the yellow revolves to brown. When the indicator turns to brown it's time to replace the filter.

It probably depends on how dirty your air is. I've had my unit for 9 months and the light just came on to replace the odor filter. The main filter replacement light has not come on yet.

I do not think I have a fungus problem, but I have noticed some discolored stuff inside my unit. I wipe it out when I change the filter. It is the same color as the copper part of the filter, so I thought it was residue from that. Eek.

Next time improvise a filter in front of it, like a cloth or some screen on it so it won't get dirt, and you just need to clean the filter you had place. :)

Ours cleaned up right away but we flushed our water heater, house lines and the pressure pump before we started running water through our filters. We have been running it for a while now and occasionally get some red to our water but that is when we find debris in the filter system.

Hi, my Brita is a little different but I guess that, like in mine, the light flashes green when filtering - when the water is on and flowing inside the filter.

The filter will accumulate dirt just like a normal filter. Each month I check it and clean it, wash it off with a garden hose. Actually whether it needs it or not but it is usually dirty and it cost me nothing. Bye.

The little window to the left of the handle turns from green to yellow to red. When it's all the way red, change the filter.

Mine isn't doing this. I would use some very diluted bleach and clean it very well and replace the filter. Search for the dilution you'll need on the bleach and water for cleaning.

I'm unsure. I had another/original media in the filter, and I just changed this one. So, it hasn't been in there long enough to know what happens for changes in color.

I actually returned this one and got the other one. I didnt like it but it is complete. Clean the filter out weekly. Hope this helps.

When the carbon filter is full you will need to replace. The LED light will turn red that's the time to change. Depending on usage i think mine lasted about a year.

This will happen with virtually any filter medium, for a little while, whenever you first add the new filter substrate.....You can reduce {but not eliminate}this effect , by rinsing the filter media prior to installation....
