OPTIONAL: You can see the concentration progress in the STATUS menu, even from your external device. See Monitoring the PULSE Status from an External Device for more information.
Important: If you hear a hissing sound and an error message appears, the silicone seals are not properly aligned with the filter chip, which will result in leaking. Before continuing, check the chip and the silicone seals and reposition them if necessary, then try again. If this problem persists, please contact support@formulatrix.com for assistance. For more information, see Fixing Silicone Seals and Chip Leakage.
