Best practices when traveling
abroad.
3
When traveling abroad, there are greater risks of illness from the
water born deseases like Giardia, c sts, viruses and bacteria. These
harmful microorganisms are often present in food and water.
To minimize the risk of contracting an water-born illness, we suggest
that ou:
Consult with our ph sician, state health department, or clinic
4-6 weeks before departing. While traveling...
Make sure all of our food is full cooked.
Choose noncooked foods (nuts, fruits, etc) which have intact
shells or skins, and clean hands before peeling.
Wash hands with soap and water often, especiall before eating.
Ensure that all the water ou drink is microbiologicall ltered b
our GoSun lter.
There is no guarentee that ou won’t become sick while traveling.
However, ou can make sure that our drinking water is
microbiologicall safe with our GoSun lter.

Filter Replacement
When to replace your lter
There are a few situations that would indicate it is time to
replace your lter cartridge
1. The ow rate through the lter is reduced to roughly one half the
original ow rate (please make sure the intake hose pre-lter, and
sediment lter disk are not dirty/clogged before replacing the
main lter cartridge).
The lter is becoming clogged and is past its useful life. The lter is
still functioning, but the ow rate is reduced to the point where
the pump is under additional strain.
2. If ltering chlorinated water, and the water still maintains a strong
chlorine taste.
The activated carbon lter has been consumed and the lter
cartrage should be replaced.
3. Water coming from the lter is not clear.
The Alumina lter element has likely been physically damaged
and must be replaced. Please note: The lter cannot remove some
substances, like the pigment in brewed tea, even when fully
functional.
