HOW TO USE YOUR GRAVITY FILTER
Step 1
Assemble the gravity tube and tube
adapters by inserting the adapters on both
sides of the tube.
Step 3
Unscrew the large blue cap
and fill the water bladder with
fresh water. When done filling,
screw the blue cap back onto
the bladder.
Step 5
To purge the air from the tube, lower
the filter below the bladder and slightly
untwist the filter until water fills the tube.
Re-tighten the filter and wipe off any drips
that may be on the filter.
Important: Before filtering, all air must be purged from
the gravity tube or else the flow rate will be very slow.
Step 7
Open the white push-pull
cap on the filter to begin
the flow of water.

Step 2
Screw the Mini filter onto to the gray adapter on the gravity
tube. You're now ready to collect water in the bladder.
Step 4
Holding the bladder upsidedown,
unscrew the small white cap and
screw on the assembeled gravity
tube and Mini filter.
Step 6
Hang the bladder from
the handle or set it on
a flat surface.
Tip: The greater the distance between the
bladder and the filter, the faster water will flow.
Tip: The hose guide can be used to prevent the
hose from kinking. Attach it to the neck of the
blue adapter if you wish to use it.
