DRY BAG
WATER COLLECTION
AND FILTRATION
• The Bitterroot is an 18-Liter bag, however, use care as not to collect too
much water at once
• Overfilling may damage the bag and create a carry hazard for the user
• When using the Bitterroot to collect water, fill the bag with the desired
amount of water
• Once water is collected, roll down the bag at least three times and connect
the buckles to ensure a good seal
• Once you arrive at your desired location elevate the bag to a safe and con-
venient position
• Use the buckles to attach it to the structure
• Connect the water tube, bulb and filter once you are ready to start the
filtering process
• You may need to squeeze the bulb 2 to 5 times to prime the filter so the
water will start to flow
• Filter times will vary depending on the clarity and sediments in the water,
but on average it will filter 1-liter every 3 minutes
WARNING
To minimize the risk of illness, wipe down the outside of the
Bitterroot, filter, bulb and hose to prevent contaminated water
from running down the system into your water container.
