How it works Stage 1: Sediment filter Filters out large water-borne particles Increases filtration performance and longevity Stage 2: Hollow Fiber Membrane Removes 99.9999% of bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella, etc.) Removes 99.997% of parasites (Giardia, Cryptosporidium, etc.) Reduces microplastics Stage 3: Activated Carbon Reduces bad odors Improves the taste of water * Filter performance depends on the correct usage of the filter and may be limited by environmental or hygienic conditions. Read instructions carefully before use. USE Prime filter by placing the straw in water so that the intake nozzle is fully immersed. Let sit for 20 seconds. Open mouthpiece cap, taking care not to touch the mouthpiece. While the intake nozzle is fully immersed, place mouth on mouthpiece and suck to draw water through the filter. To attach to most standard water bottles, screw the mouth of the bottle into the Intake Nozzle/Bottle Attachment. NOTE: Drinking through a filtration straw may require more suction than drinking through a traditional drinking straw. If you are unable to draw water through the straw, the filter may be clogged by air bubbles or previously filtered particles. The 3-stage filtration process will become clogged during normal use especially if the Personal Water Filtration Straw is used to filter muddy or silty water. See FOR BEST RESULTS section for more information. FOR BEST RESULTS Use the cleanest, clearest water available. Filtering silty, cloudy, muddy, or glacial stream water or tea-colored water that contains visible tannins can clog the filter faster. Blow air through the mouthpiece (in the opposite direction of normal water flow) to remove potential air bubbles. Before taking your Personal Water Filtration Straw camping, backpacking, or on a trip, test it in a safe environment to make sure your Personal Water Filtration Straw is working properly. 3-Stage Filtration Includes sediment filter screen, hollow fiber membrane, and activated carbon which meets US EPA & NSF P231 standards for the removal of bacteria
