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.
