I have an Automatic Gas Regulator Switch that keeps going from green to red and back to green again during the day.

Red is meant to indicate one of the gas bottles are empty and it's time to order a new one.

I've done the hot water test and they appear to be both 70-80% full

Bit unsure what to do next, as don't want to have to manually test the bottles all the time, nor do I want to run out of gas (no hot water or cooking)

I know I can't pull it apart myself.

Regulator looks like this, and the green bits change to red.

You say they appear to be both 70-80% full. Does that seem OK considering when you last had a refill? Mid winter both near full??

Sorry I did the hot water test on the outside last weekend, normally last 120 days between each bottle being replaced, next one should last for atleast another 100 days or so

Have you checked both bottles have the taps fully open?

When we had bottled gas at our last house, I remember being told to only have one tap open. This means that all the gas in the bottle is used up as often the bottles still have 10-15% gas left when swapped out. Also, you'll know exactly when a bottle is empty, so to order another.
