LifeStraw Max | How should I store LifeStraw Max?

Before storage:

• Make sure the water source is turned off and the blue drinking dial is in close position
• Disconnect the source water hose
• Clear any debris from the pre-filter
• Remove the carbon block from the light gray filter housing and set it aside to dry
• Place in a sealed bag once dry – this will preserve the longevity of the filter
• Keep filter housing inside the Max with cap reattached
• Remove the light blue membrane ultrafilter set from Max and store it in a cool, dry place

During storage:

Make sure to store in normal conditions while not in use – keep away from direct sunlight and extremely high or freezing temperatures for extended periods of time. If the filters freeze, they must be replaced before using your Max again.

After storage:

• Reassemble the carbon filter by inserting the carbon block. Make sure the black O-ring is on top
• Reassemble the membrane ultrafilter set by inserting each cartridge. Make sure the bottom and side connectors are inserted firmly into their respective fittings
• Perform the backwash procedure to clear out any dust and debris.
