1) This machine does not require a filter to operate. The machine will either come
with a water
filter or a “dummy” filter.
2) If a calcium filter is being used, it will change from green to blue, which will
usually occur over a period of 6 to 9-month time span depending on use. When the
filter is completely blue, it is time to replace it.
2) Using distilled water may extend the life of the filter.

whole filter and look at the plastic mold lines for any cracks. They may be
difficult to see, so be sure to inspect the filter in a well-lit area or room. If
there are cracks the filter will need to be replaced.
