Pre-First Use

Before using for the first time, we recommend flushing the filter:

  1. Attach the filter body to a water source
  2. Pump water through for 2-3 minutes
  3. Discard this initial filtered water
  4. Your filter is now ready to use!

Quick Start

  1. Find a water source (river, stream, lake, rain)
  2. Connect the intake hose to the filter
  3. Place the intake in water (submerge fully)
  4. Pump the handle steadily
  5. Collect filtered water from the outlet

Pro Tips
