By recording the initial starting pressure (with clean filter elements) a determination can be made when the filter cartridge elements should be replaced rather than cleaned. After the filter elements have been cleaned and reinstalled if the starting pressure is higher than 6 PSI above the starting pressure with the new filter cartridge elements, the filter cartridge elements should be replaced the next time the gauge arrow reaches the red arrow.
