Simple water level indicator..3 LEDS..doubt..

[themaccabee]

Hi all,
I ve found a simple water level indicator with 3 LEDs from

The circuit is

The problem is that the Red LED is always slightly turned ON making it difficult for a first time user to distinguish between the desired water levels..
Can somebody tell me how to make this RED LED completely turned off wen any other LED is ON???
