5. Одржавање и складиштење

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your LifeStraw filter.

Cleaning (Backflushing)

After each use, especially if flow rate decreases, backflush the filter:

1. Remove from Water: Take the LifeStraw out of the water source.
2. Blow Air: Blow a strong puff of air through the mouthpiece (the end you drink from) to clear out any trapped particles from the filter membrane. This forces water back through the filter, dislodging contaminants.
3. Поновите: Repeat this process several times until the water flowing out of the bottom appears clear.

Складиштење

За дуготрајно складиштење:

1. Темељно очистите: Ensure the filter is thoroughly backflushed and clean.
2. Оставите да се осуши: Shake off excess water and allow the filter to air dry completely with both caps removed. This prevents mold and mildew growth.
3. Чувајте безбедно: Once dry, replace the caps and store the LifeStraw in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
