SERVICE LIFE & STORAGE
SERVICE LIFE
Cartridge
In ideal conditions the cartridge will
process the number of litres specified. As
an example a 4000 litre cartridge will last
approximately 3 years & 7 months. This is
based on the user filtering 3 litres per day;
as per the WHO guidelines for drinking
water recommendations*
Activated carbon filter
Each activated carbon filter will process
250 litres of water. If the bottle is used
to process 3 litres of water per day,
each activated carbon filter will last
approximately 2 1/2 months before a
replacement activated carbon filter is
recommended.
*These are approximate life spans based on the
bottle cartridge being kept hydrated as per the
storage instructions and well maintained as per
the maintenance and care instructions.
STORAGE
The bottle
Before first use, the bottle should be kept
in a dry place. After first use, protect the
bottle against extreme temperatures.
Keep the membranes of the cartridge
hydrated by storing at least 1 inch/2.5 cm
of water in the bottle at all times whilst
keeping the bottle sealed with the pump,
nozzle and snap fit lid in place. Failure to
do so will cause the membranes to dry
out, the nano-filter pores to close and the
system to shut down. This is not covered
under your warranty and you will need to
purchase another cartridge.
To ensure the bottle remains in the best
condition use on a regular basis. Always
store the bottle in a cool dry place when
not in use, ideally between 5-20°
C
Activated carbon filter
After opening a pack of activated carbon
filters ensure that you store the additional,
spare activated carbon filters within the foil
zip lock bag or within a sealed container.
This will preserve their shelf life for up
to 3 years. If left unsealed, the activated
carbon filters will expire within 2 months.
When storing the bottle for a period of
1 month or more, the activated carbon
filter should be removed and discarded.
Replace with a new carbon filter before
next use.
