instructions for routine use

Once you are familiar with your 
LIFESAVER bottle, the instructions are 
simple. FILL • PUMP • DRINK™

  Ensure that the drinking teat is 

closed and that the snap-fit lid is  
on securely.

  Unscrew the bottle base.

  Fill your LIFESAVER bottle with the 

desired amount of water.

  Screw the base back on.

  Twist to unlock the pump handle 

and pump a few times.*

  Twist the pump handle to lock 

closed.

  Open the snap-fit lid, pull teat with 

teeth or clean hands and drink.

  Close teat and ensure snap fit lid is 

firmly closed by applying pressure.

Choosing your water source

Always choose the cleanest water 
source available. LIFESAVER bottle will 
work with high turbidity water though 
the dirtier the water, the quicker the 
cartridge will expire. Using the  
pre-filter disc will prolong the life of 
your LIFESAVER bottle.

iMPOrTaNT!

Do not allow grit, sand or other 
abrasive matter to enter the bottle. If 
this happens it should be removed. 
Abrasive matter remaining in the bottle 
will cause the base seals to prematurely 
wear. This may cause your LIFESAVER 
bottle to leak and may void your 
warranty.  

If the seal at the base begins to wear, 
applying a thin layer of silicone grease 
(supplied) to the inside base of the 
bottle will help seal the bottle and 
prevent leakage.

For situations where grit and other
abrasive matter is difficult to avoid a
separate o-ring seal may be purchased.

LIFESAVER bottles purchased after 
December 2007 include this O-ring 
as standard.

*Do not over pump your LIFESAVER 

bottle. It is effectively a pressurised 

vessel and should be handled with 

caution. you will discover in a very 
short time that only a few pumps are 

needed to induce water flow. If you 

continue to over pump the bottle, the 

teat will open. This is a safety feature.
