Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your MSR Guardian Water Purifier. The purifier features a self-cleaning mechanism on every stroke, providing consistently fast flow rates without backflushing or filter-scrubbing.

Integrity Test

It is recommended to perform an integrity test if you suspect the filter has been compromised (e.g., after a hard drop or freezing). This test verifies the filter's ability to remove contaminants.

1. Attach a clear, wide-mouth bottle to the clean water outlet.
2. Pump approximately one-third of the bottle with water.
3. Remove the intake hose from the water source.
4. Invert the purifier so the bottle is facing upwards.
5. Cover the clean water outlet with your finger to create a seal.
6. Pump the handle 7-10 times to pressurize the system with air.
7. Observe the water in the clear bottle for 30 seconds. If no steady stream of bubbles appears, the filter is intact. A steady stream of bubbles indicates a compromised filter.

Захоўванне

After each use, ensure the purifier is clean and dry before storing it in the provided storage bag. This prevents mold and mildew growth and protects the filter from damage.
