DAILY USE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIFESTRAW PEAK SERIES COLLAPSIBLE
SQUEEZE WATER FILTER SYSTEMS
DAILY USE
Follow these steps for using your Peak Series Collapsible Squeeze Water Filter System.
1. Assemble. Attach the membrane microfilter to the reservoir by first unscrewing the neck cap on the
squeeze bag. Screw the membrane microfilter firmly into the inside of the top cap, so that when the cap
is retightened onto the squeeze bottle, the filter sits inside the reservoir.
2. Fill. When ready to use, open the squeeze bag to fill with water by unscrewing the neck cap. Fill with
water, and retighten the cap to close.
3. Sip or squeeze. Open the top cap. To sip, take 5 quick, strong pulls of water using the mouthpiece to
get water flowing. To squeeze water out of the reservoir, simply apply pressure to the reservoir. Close
the top cap when finished.
4. Backwash. Regularly backwash your filter after drinking to keep the filter clean and to prevent
clogging. To do this, disconnect the membrane microfilter from the top cap by twisting
counterclockwise. Then, screw the included backwash syringe onto the membrane microfilter.
Plunge the open end of the filter into drinking water, and draw water up through the filter by pulling the
syringe upward and away from the filter until it reaches the edge of the housing. Then push water back
through the filter by pressing the syringe downward toward the filter until the water has fully been
pushed through.
