Why is the dispenser light on the door still red and not blue after the pureadvantage water filter has been changed?

You have to manually reset it. On my fridge you have to hold a button down until it turns off.

Good question . I'm guessing that Culligan has changed the filter element/component for some reason . Mine is the same way and becomes progressively slower after about two weeks of use despite the fact that I replace the filter every thirty days . I presume it's because it is filtering and whatever is being filtered out is responsible for clogging the filter . The filter looks to be the same as previous filters but , as you pointed out , the slow flow has an unacceptable flow rate .I'll be looking for another filtering assembly next month .

Yes but I have only had it a short time and although the green does not show, Brita assures me that it will show red when the filter is no longer working. I was happier with the old type which showed green that the filter was operational and blinked red when the filter neared the end of its life, and solid red when it was time to replace it.

Hi KP, I am not sure of your question, are you using this kind of Filter for the first time or have you used these before. There are two outlets of any of such household filters, one is Unfiltered water which is very fast and bigger volume. Another is filtered outlet, which only let's water out in a slow tiny volume depending on your faucet pressure. The tiny outlet is triggered only when the switch in front is turned 90. Degrees to your right.

I have owned and Alen 350 for about 5 years, and changed the filter about every 6 months. The indicator light does advance to red at about that time. I now own a new one, and the light seems to be progressing at about the same speed. I run the unit 24.7.

Iam on a well system, water was checked before i installed this system, all my readings were satisfactory at that time, The filter system was really old so i just updated to this system.i have not checked the water now.

I don't remember since it's been so long since I bought it, but I've been buying replacement filters in bulk from Amazon at very reasonable prices. I noticed that a respondent said her indicator light stopped working. The light on mine stopped working but it turned out that I had installed a replacement filter backwards. I turned it around and the indicator light started working properly and has been working ever since with three subsequent filter replacements.

Mine only illuminates when i turn the handle on the side to get filtered water. It does have a few second delay & the back light is blue on mine. Not sure if it would be the filter or the actual unit you mount on the faucet.

Two questions: what kind of filter are you using; and are you sure the selector is switched to allow water to flow through?

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.

If you turn the black knob vertical so that the water will be filtered and then turn on the water, the display should light up for a few seconds to tell you how many gallons you've run through the filter. The light doesn't stay on long though. If yours isn't doing that then, yes, I'd say you have a faulty filter.

What I did was vacuum the actual blue filter thoroughly as it really didn't look very dirty even though I got a "change filter" message. Then I washed the plastic grid piece it fits into thoroughly and let it dry. I reassembled it and still got a change filter message. However, I discovered there is a tiny "reset filter" hole near the top of the inside of the unit where you place the filter. I stuck a paperclip in the hole and pushed, and now it's behaving as if it has a brand new filter! I think maybe if this is done on a regular basis that you can get a lot more use out of this unit, even though the filters are "no longer available."

Usually the light goes out because the battery is dead. I took the battery out because it got to blinking red. Problem solved! I've never changed filters 3&4 as often as Watts says but if you use a lot of water you might have to. We have had RO filters, mostly Watts, for over 30 years and change filters based on water taste. You will know when.

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

According to the User's manual, a red light will illuminate when it's time to clean the filter.

The blue light at the base of the unit will change color and let you know when your filter must be replaced. How long a filter will last depends on the amount of minerals etc. in your water.

Yes, there IS an indicator for filter life...it's on the top of the unit between the faucet and the filter. BUT....it's not electronic, so there is no "light," per se. It's a mechanical indicator, under a lens, that moves slowly as water passes over it; when enough water has run through the filter, the indicator starts to show red, and when it's completely red, it's time to change the filter. The problem is that it's not electronic, which means that it has no actual light itself, but rather depends on reflection from light outside the filter. I found that while I could sometimes see it at night with the light over the sink turned on, it was much more reliably visible by shining a flashlight down into the little port.
