• Discard water. • Fill with clean water and pump 30–40 times. • Lay Cube on its side (tap facing down), open tap and allow water to flow. As flow rate drops pump again, until empty. • If not using immediately, repeat steps 3 and 4.
Twist tap clockwise and lock into position for a sustained flow of water or push and hold down tap for an instant shot of water. To release tap, twist anti-clockwise. IMPORTANT Always leave at least 1 inch of water in your Cube. Ensure pump is screwed back on tightly.
(see page 13 for storage instructions). • Do not pump if water is not flowing from the Cube; this will over pressurise the Cube, which will result in the product becoming stressed.
• Using a sharp pulling motion remove carbon filter from tap. • When fitted, the water flowing from the Cube may contain grey / black particles. This is harmless carbon dust and will disappear after 2–3 uses.
How to clean the Cube when outdoors • Fill the Cube with around 1 litre of the cleanest water available and swill around the Cube to remove debris and dirt from the bottom of the Cube.
How to clean the Cube when at home • Remove the filter from the Cube by removing the tap and lifting the filter out. Remove the o-ring from the top of the filter and keep it to one side. • Place the protective cap provided over the clean face of the filter.
However, if treated incorrectly the cartridge is liable to break. The membrane integrity check should be performed every time the Cube has been subjected to shock or when you suspect damage may have occurred...
Stop using the Cube and replace the filter (see page 10 for how to install a new filter). • If water flow is normal but very slow, despite the Cube being ¾ full at either the horizontal or vertical position, clean the Cube as dirt and debris maybe causing slower water flow.
STORAGE The Cube Before first use, the Cube should be kept in a cool, dry place. To make water more palatable it is suggested to keep it in the shade. Protect the Cube against extreme temperatures at all times. Keep the membranes of the cartridge hydrated by storing at least 2 inches / 5 cm of water in the Cube at all times whilst keeping the Cube sealed with the pump and tap in place.
Hold on to the pump firmly whilst unscrewing. After pressure is released screw the pump back into place. • Store at least 2 inches / 5 cm of water in the Cube at all times. • Ensure the pump and tap are sealed.
SHELF LIFE Standard packaged cartridge Product can be stored as a minimum for 3 years from the point of purchase (from authorised resellers) further shelf life after the initial 3 years is dependent on storage conditions. Aluminium barrier foil heat sealed product Heat sealed products provide the lowest moisture transition rate available and are ideal for long-term storage.
• Ensure the pump and cap are correctly sealed. • Pack the Cube securely in the hold or within hand luggage. • When destination is reached pour 2 inches / 5 cm of water into Cube. • Perform a membrane integrity check before re-use (page 11).
FAILSAFE ™ TECHNOLOGY The Cube incorporates Failsafe technology which stops you drinking ™ contaminated water. As the filter is used to purify water, the pores in the membranes will be getting blocked up by contaminants and the flow rate will slow down.
