Using Your Backpack Water Filter

In order to get the most out of your backpack water filter

, always

follow the instructions that come with it, and also keep in mind the

following tips.

Try testing your filter before you leave home to be sure that it's in

good working order, especially if you haven't used it in a long time.

Cleaning it before you go as well. Backpack filters, especially those

without pre-filters, can get clogged up with dirt and other particles.

If you're going for a hike or on a camping trip that will last

several days, you might want to bring a couple extra filters just in

case.

Keep the water filter in a spot in your backpack where it's easy to

find and pull out--not buried underneath other items--but also make

sure that it won't fall out of your backpack too easily.

Using your backpack filter isn't difficult. Once you're standing by

a river, lake or stream and you're ready to take a drink, simply stick

the outtake hose onto what's called the outtake nipple, and then stick

the intake hose onto the intake nipple. The intake hose should be

submerged in the water while you stick the outtake hose into the water

bottle itself. Meanwhile, the pre-filter should rest on a stone or

somehow be suspended in the water; it should not touch the bottom of

the body of water. Now you simply push the little lever up and down

and the water will move through the apparatus and the result with be

fresh, drinkable water for you to enjoy. Bon appetit!
