CROSS-CONTAMINATION.
Do not expose/fill the Inner Press with untreated water, cross contamination
may occur. If this does happen, disassemble and wash GeoPressc (not Cartridge)
with soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Alternatively, thoroughly dilute
potential contaminants by pressing (and agitating) water through the GeoPress®
Cartridge 5-7 times.
SOURCING THE BEST WATER.
Always begin with the cleanest (least silty) water available. For instance,
streams are generally better than lakes and bogs (which are often have higher
levels of sediment and tannins).
CYANOBACTERIA, HIGH LEAD LEVELS, MERCURY, ETC.
Cartridges are designed to remove trace levels of chemicals and heavy metals.
The GeoPress® was NOT designed to protect against industrial disasters, coal
ash spills, very high lead levels, mercury, nuclear disasters or toxic blue-
green algae (cyanobacteria), etc. Find another water source in these
situations.
CAUTION WITH TANNINS.
Tannins are natural organic compounds that leach from decomposing vegetation
and trees and can cause Cartridges to prematurely clog. In high
concentrations, tannins are easily recognizable, as they turn water tea-
colored and form blackwater rivers. Do not use UltraPress® in water with high
tannins.
NO FREEZING.
Cartridges are not significantly degraded after one freeze/thaw cycle.
However, don’t use a cartridge after 3 or more freeze/thaw cycles. Protect
your GeoPress® in freezing temperatures by keeping it full of water and
insulate in a jacket or sleeping bag.
NO HOT (OR BOILING WATER) OR MICROWAVES.
Do not expose Cartridge to water hotter than 120F (SOC), it will harm purifier
media. Do not put the GeoPress” in the microwave.
CARE BETWEEN USES

Do not wash the Cartridge with soap or other cleaning agents. Soap will damage
the purifier media. You may rinse the Cartridge with clean water as needed.
PROPER CARE & STORAGE

and dump excess water. Remove One-Way Silicone Valve (sold separately) and
allow Cartridge to air-dry thoroughly (depending on humidity it will take 2-4
days to completely dry). Hand wash all other parts including One-Way Silicone
Valve with warm, soapy water. Reassemble unit to create airtight seal for
