indicator is blue. If the Product does not sense fluid, the prime indicator is red.
 The delivered volume and the elapsed time.
4. Prime the Product by continuously pushing water into the Flow inlet until the
prime indicator (the vertical bar) is all blue. Continue to push 5 ml into the
Flow inlet to make sure that no bubbles follow.
