Re: [Digital BW] 2400 - Report After One Year

As far as I know there is no way to tell how much is used up in
cleaning cycles, but 1/3 seems far too large an estimate.  My general
impression is that the 2400 is rather conservative in that regard.  

One thing I forgot to mention is that I never turn it off, and since
it never clogs I don't initiate any cleanings myself.  So actual full
blown cleaning cycles seem few and far between.


Regards,
Clayton
