MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Membrane integrity
The ultra filtration membranes used in
your LIFESAVER
®
jerrycan have been
precision engineered. They have been
integrated into a robust cartridge format
and have been designed for long service
life. If treated incorrectly or without care
they are liable to break. There are several
reasons why a membrane might break.

Your LIFESAVER
®
jerrycan has
been designed to work in the
vertical position or horizontal
position with the jerrycan tap
facing downward. Please refer
to drawing

on page 15. If
water does not flow freely despite
being ¼ full at these angles then
the membranes have become
damaged in someway. If the
membranes have been
compromised in anyway a large
amount of air will be expelled from
the tap rather than water.

You must stop using your jerrycan and
replace the cartridge immediately.
