LifeStraw Max | What should I do if I'm experiencing low flow rate or clogging with LifeStraw Max?
If you experience low flow rate or clogging, follow the below procedures:
- Open the lid and ensure none of the hoses are kinked
- Perform backwash procedure. If water is extremely muddy, run through cycle twice.
- Using instructions provided, clean pre-filter.

If you continue to experience little to no flow-rate, it may be time to replace your membrane ultrafilter set. Water will stop flowing through once the membrane ultrafilter set has reached the end of its lifecycle.
