Cleaning & Maintenance
of Your
SURVIVOR FILTER TM
The Survivor Filter TM personal water filter is a precision device. Please always
follow all assembly, disassembly, cleaning and maintenance instructions in order
to allow trouble free and reliable performance.
Filter Replacement: Replacement of the UF and the Carbon filters depend
on how frequently the Survivor Filter TM is used and the quality of the fresh water
sources employed. In general, the manufacturer recommends that the filters be
changed at least annually.
Cleaning: Your Survivor Filter TM should be cleaned with fresh clean water
after each use. To remove dirt and excess water, shake the Survivor Filter TM
water inlet in a downward motion with a snapping motion of the wrist.
Cleaning Solutions: DO NOT use commercial cleaning solutions or
chemicals to clean your Survivor Filter TM . You should only use clean fresh
water to rinse the filters. Vinegar may be used to clean the UF Filter (3) ONLY.
The UF Filter (3) ONLY can be removed and soaked in vinegar for 20 minutes if
dirty, then flushed with clean water and left to dry before re-assembly. WARNING:
DO NOT soak the Carbon Filter (2) in vinegar as this will shorten the life of
the Carbon Filer.
Before STORING your Survivor Filter TM for more than 15 days, the UF Filter
(3) should be removed and soaked in vinegar for 20 minutes, then flushed with
clean water and left to dry before re-assembly.
Storage: Store your Survivor Filter TM in a clean and dry place. Avoid exposure
to direct sunlight and store away from excessive heat sources. Some customers
report that their Survivor Filter TM stays clean and fresh if stored in the
