INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF-PRESERVING FILTERS
Note: Self-preserving filter housings are currently rated to 10 PSI max pressure
(20 in.-Hg; 508 mm-Hg). Please program your eDNA Sampler for a 10 PSI pres-
sure threshold.
1. Open a sample packet containing a 47mm self-preserving filter housing and at-
tach the extension tube to the housing. Save the foil pouch for subsequent filter
storage.
2. Attach suction tubing to the filter housing and activate pump to begin filtration.
3. When “low flow” alarm sounds or target volume is reached, quickly invert the
filter housing and elevate it to filter all remaining water in housing and clear the
suction line.
