Front-side washing LIFESAVER
jerrycan
Over the life of the membranes particulate
matter will build up on its surface. The
filter cartridge's unique design induces
particulate matter to form a caking layer
on its external surfaces. To reduce this
build-up you should perform a front-side
wash on a regular basis.
To perform a front-side wash:
In the field
With the tap in the closed position
remove the pump. Fill with 2- 3 litres of
the cleanest water available and gently
swill out any debris that has collected at
the bottom of the jerrycan. Now fill the
jerrycan ½ full with the cleanest water
available. Gently swill the water around for
a minute or two. Invert the jerrycan several
times. Empty and repeat as necessary.
It is always a good idea to keep the
membranes as free from particulate
matter as possible.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to touch
the membranes through the
protective mesh as this could
cause damage and will void your
warranty.
