Lifestraw Go Water Filters and Purifiers
FIRST USE
- Wash: Remove the filter and wash the bottle, lid and mouthpiece with a mild detergent.
- Rinse: Rinse the filter under tap water for 60 seconds. Push the filter back into the cap.
- Fill: With water and screw on the cap to ensure filter is submerged, soak for 10 minutes.
- Prime: Take a few quick, strong sips to start the flow of water. Note: first few sips can have a slow flow rate as air is displaced from the filter. Flow should improve after first few drinks.
DAILY USE
- Fill: Unscrew the lid and fill the bottle with water.
- Assemble: Make sure the filter is secured properly to the lid. Screw the lid back onto the bottle.
- Drink: Enjoy safe water by sipping through the mouthpiece.
- Backwash: After drinking, blow air through the mouthpiece to remove extra water and to prevent water from pooling on the lid.
Remember to keep the lid & mouthpiece away from contaminated water.
TIPS
Test your gear before you go! Follow the first use instructions to make sure
your LifeStraw is operating as you expect it to. Airplanes & Altitude: Because
our bottle is air-tight, air travel, changes in elevation and high
temperatures may cause pressure to build up in your bottle. Avoid leaks by
slowly twisting the lid with the mouthpiece in the closed position. To release
the pressure, retighten lid and drink from the mouthpiece. Slow flow rate?
Blow air through the mouthpiece to remove potential air bubbles in the
membrane. Check the umbrella valve near the mouthpiece for dust or debris;
clean if necessary.
Note: LifeStraw Go will no longer filter water when the product has
reached the end of its working life. Inability to sip water through the straw
indicates that the membrane microfilter should be replaced. Questions? Contact
