Maintenance and Care
The unique ultra filtration membranes
used in the LIFESAVER bottle have been
developed to deliver a high volume
throughput at very low pressures. The
capacity of your LIFESAVER cartridge will
depend on the water quality.
LIFESAVER bottle is designed to filter
water only. It is not designed for filtering
sugared or carbonated drinks, alcohol or
any other liquids.
LIFESAVER bottle will not filter out salts.
If you suspect the cartridge has been
damaged in some way always replace
the cartridge immediately and wash the
bottle thoroughly in a mild disinfectant.
In any event perform a Membrane
Integrity Check (page 15)
LIFESAVER bottle has a long shelf life.
It can be stored unused for up to
3 years. Once the bottle has been
used, the cartridge will last up to a
further 2 years dependent upon usage
conditions. Please check the end of
shelf life date on your product.

Over the life of the membranes
particulate matter will build up on its
surface. The filter cartridge’s unique
design induces particulate matter to form
a caking layer on its external surfaces.
To reduce this build-up you should
perform a front-side wash on a regular
basis.
