TECHNICAL INFORMATION

First-time use

Bottle with integrated, removable filter. The product can be used without the filter like a conventional water bottle.

Before first use, rinse the bottle, cap and filter with drinking water (3 times for 1 minute).
On first use or whenever the filter is dry, fill the bottle with water, screw on the cap and leave for a few minutes to prime the filter. Then take 5 quick sips to allow the water to drain.

Directions for use

Rinse your bottle and filter with drinking water to remove dust and dirt.
Fill the bottle with fresh water (avoid stagnant, stagnant water) from the best available source, without dirtying the nipple and cap. The clearer and cleaner the water introduced before filtration (absence of impurities), the longer your filter will last.
Be careful not to ingest water that runs down your bottle while drinking. Make sure the bottle is hermetically sealed.

Instructions for use (continued)

Drink by inserting the nipple into your mouth and pressing lightly on the body of the bottle to adjust the pressure and the amount of water to be drunk.

Your water bottle no longer filters water when it has reached the end of its useful life.
If you are unable to draw in water, it is time to replace the part containing the filter.
Be sure to dry your filter after use.

Filtration system

We have chosen a microfiltration technology with a membrane (hollow fiber) that eliminates microplastics, up to 99.9999% of bacteria (e.g. Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae, etc.) and 99.9% of protozoan parasite cysts (e.g. Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia lamblia), organisms that cause water-borne pathologies. This considerably reduces the risk of contracting diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery or giardiasis.

Maintenance tips

After each use, unscrew the cap, rinse the bottle, cap and filter with drinking water and allow to dry thoroughly. Before placing the bottle in the dishwasher for cleaning, remove the filter.
The filter must never be put in the dishwasher. Do not attempt to clean the fibers in the plastic casing. If in doubt, replace the filter.

Storage tips

Store in a cool, clean, dry place after drying completely.
If you find that water no longer passes through the filter, or only with great difficulty, please follow these instructions.
Immerse the filter in clean, clear water for around 15 minutes to dissolve any dirt that may have adhered to the surface of the filter membrane. Then rinse the filter and leave it to dry.
It should now be back to full performance.
