Cleaning
Wash and dry the inside of the MyBottle 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 MyBottle and the cap are dishwasher safe (without the cartridge).
The rubber mouth piece cover may be removed for cleaning it thoroughly. 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 thoroughly dry.
Wash and dry bottle. Wash well and follow conditioning instructions before resuming
use. Replace a used Cyst Filter when taking the MyBottle system out of prolonged storage.
Do NOT use with carbonated or flavored beverages, as they may damage the ViruStat®
microbial purification cartridge.

Refer to the Important Notes and the Product Set-Up before using.
