SHELF LIFE
Standard packaged cartridge
The bottle can be stored unused for up
to 3 years from the date of manufacture.
Priming is an essential step that must be
performed within 3 years from the date of
manufacture and before you start to use
the bottle to drink from.
If stored longer than 3 years the bottle
membranes will dry out, the nano-filter
pores will close and the system will shut
down.
Hermetically sealed barrier foil
wrapped cartridge
A foil wrapped cartridge, if sealed in the
condition that it was purchased, can be
stored for up to 10 years from the date
of manufacture. The extended shelf life
is due to the use of military grade barrier
foils, with the lowest moisture vapour
transition rate available. On opening of the
foil wrapped packaging, the cartridge can
be left stored for a further 3 years before
priming is required. In total, providing a 13
year shelf life.
Standard packaged activated carbon
filter
An activated carbon filter, if sealed in
its original polythene wrapping, can be
stored for up to 3 years from the date of
manufacture. If left unsealed the activated
carbon filter can be stored for up to 2
months before expiry. Carbon is a natural
absorbent, so if left unsealed it will be
absorbing all pollutants in the air around it.
Hermetically sealed barrier foil
wrapped activated carbon filter
A foil wrapped activated carbon filter,
if sealed in the condition that it was
purchased, can be stored for up to 10
years from the date of manufacture. On
opening of the foil wrapped packaging,
the activated carbon filter can be stored
for a further 3 years if sealed in the
zip lock foil bag it was supplied in. In
total, providing a 13 year shelf life. If left
unsealed, the activated carbon filter can
be stored for up to 2 months before expiry.
