The ViruStat® microbial purification cartridge is for use with the Exstream or Exstream XR

the bottom of the Cyst Filter.

Changing the ViruStat Microbial Purification Cartridge
After 100 liters (26 gallons) use the following steps to change the ViruStat® cartridge.
a. Remove the Cartridge/Bottle Cap from the bottle.
b. Remove the ViruStat microbial purification cartridge with cyst filter and prefilter from
the cap. Discard cartridge components in trash receptacle.
c. Flush Prefilter (see step 2 of product set-up on page 4).

e. Follow the Pre-Conditioning procedure on Page 5.
Cartridge Installation
Wash and dry the inside of the Exstream bottle thoroughly before using and regularly
during heavy periods of use. If using with safe water and without the ViruStat® cartridge,
the bottle must be completely disinfected to prevent contamination from previous contact
with contaminated water. Your Exstream bottle and cap are dishwasher safe (without the
cartridge). Do NOT use soap to clean the ViruStat cartridge, the cyst filter or the Prefilter.
Before storage, remove excess water from the ViruStat cartridge by disassembling all three
components. Shake out excess water. Allow the components to dry thoroughly and store
them in a cool, dry place or in a refrigerator (not the freezer section). Do NOT allow the
ViruStat to freeze with water in the cartridge. Wash and dry bottle. Store bottle empty
(without the ViruStat cartridge, Cyst Filter or Prefilter installed) with the cap on. Wash well
and follow conditioning instructions before resuming use. Replace a used Cyst Filter when
taking the Exstream system out of prolonged storage.
Do NOT use with carbonated or flavored beverages, as they may damage the ViruStat
microbial purification cartridge.
