Long-Term Storage - 1 Month Or More - Lifesaver bottle Instruction Manual

LONG-TERM STORAGE – 1 MONTH OR MORE
Before storing the bottle:
• Remove and discard the activated
carbon filter from the bottle and clean
the bottle (see page 10 for how to
1
clean the bottle).
• Store at least 1 inch/2.5 cm of water in
the bottle at all times.
• Release pressure from the bottle by
unscrewing the pump base slowly by
¼ turn until you hear a hiss sound.
Hold on to the pump base firmly whilst
unscrewing. After pressure is released
screw the pump base back into place.
• Ensure the pump base, screw top, and
snap-fit lid are sealed.
Before re-using the bottle:
• Clean the bottle before re-use (see page
10 for how to clean the bottle).
• Replace with a new activated carbon
filter before re-use (see page 9 for how
to install an activated carbon filter).
• If the bottle has been stored for 12
months or more without use, fit a new
blue pre-filter sponge and wash the
nozzle in warm detergent solution
before re-use.
How to prevent hardness salts
building up on the cartridge during
long-term storage
Prolonged storage in areas of hard
water will result in the crystallisation of
calcium, magnesium and salts on and
within the membranes of the cartridge.
To prevent this from happening, keep the
membranes of the cartridge in the bottle
hydrated by storing at least 1 inch/2.5 cm
of water in the bottle at all times whilst
keeping the bottle sealed with the pump,
nozzle and snap fit lid in place. Failure to
do so will cause the membranes to dry
out, the nano-filter pores to close and the
system to shut down. This is not covered
under your warranty and you will need to
purchase another cartridge.
