BIOLOGICAL HAZARD
There are hazards associated with backcountry travel and the use of water filters.
Drinking untreated water may expose you to harmful microorganisms and increase
your risk of gastrointestinal illness. Using this filter improperly increases your risk of
exposure to harmful microorganisms and increases your risk of gastrointestinal
illness. Reduce your chances of becoming sick by following the warnings and
instructions in this manual and educating yourself on backcountry water safety.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THOSE IN YOUR
GROUP. PLEASE USE GOOD JUDGEMENT.
Never use the QuickDraw to filter seawater or chemically contaminated water, such as
water from mining tailing ponds or near large agricultural operations. The QuickDraw
does not make drinkable water from these sources and does not remove all viruses,
chemicals and radioactive materials, or particles smaller than 0.2 Microns.
Keep the Dirty reservoir and Dirty-side cap and other potentially contaminated parts
away from filtered water to prevent cross-contamination.
READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW ALL instructions and warnings in this manual before
using this filter. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
gastrointestinal illness.
Read and understand this entire manual carefully before assembling or using this water
filter. Improper use of the filter may void the warranty and result in gastrointestinal
illness. Keep this manual for future reference. If you do not understand this manual or
have any questions, please call Cascade Designs at 1-800-531-9531.
Do not drop or freeze the QuickDraw Filter. A damaged filter cannot prevent exposure to
harmful microorganisms. If you suspect the cartridge may be damaged, perform an
integrity check (see Integrity Check). If the cartridge is damaged, discontinue use
and replace it.
If the spout becomes contaminated with dirty water, disinfect it (see Long-Term
Storage) before filtering your water or drinking from the spout.
