MICROBIOLOGICAL HAZARD
Human consumption of untreated water can lead to exposure to harmful microorganisms and an
increased risk of gastrointestinal illness. Operating this filtration and purification device incorrectly
increases your risk of exposure to harmful microorganisms and increases your risk of gastrointestinal
illness. Reduce your chances of becoming sick by following the warnings and instructions in the
operator’s manuals.
Guzzle H2O products are designed to reduce unwanted bad taste & odor, chlorine, VOCs, lead,
mercury, and other contaminant particles as small as 0.5 micron in size. Guzzle H2O products are 3rd
party tested in accordance with US EPA Guidlines for Ultraviolet Disinfection to inactivate 99.99% of
viruses, protozoa, and bacteria. Guzzle H20 products do not remove toxins, heavy metals, or treat
chemically contaminated water, and will not make potable water from sources with these
contaminants. The inlet hose, and prefilter apparatus should be kept away from the outlet hose to
avoid cross contamination. When in doubt, treated drinking water should be tested by the user to
verify its safety to consume.
LITHIUM BATTERY HAZARD
This product contains Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. LiFePO4 batteries are volatile.
Failure to read and follow the below instructions may result in fire, personal injury and damage to
property if charged or used improperly. Use only the supplied charger to charge batteries. Never store
or charge device in extreme temperatures. Never charge device unattended. Observe all shipping
regulations that apply to Lithium Ion batteries.

STREAM SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Stream uses a two stage process to filter and purify drinking water.
The first stage is an activated carbon block 0.5 micron filter. This stage physically
removes particles large than 0.5 microns, and it chemically filters and absorbs
bad taste, ordors, chlorine, lead, mercury, VOCs, sediment, and cysts.
The second stage is an LED UV-C purification chamber. This stage inactivates
99.99% of bacteria, protozoa, and viruses. UV-C photons penetrate cells and
damage the nucleic acid, rendering them incapable of reproduction, and
microbiologically inactive. The LED purification process relies upon the filtration
stage to remove contaminants that may block or limit the penetration of UV rays.
The Stream also includes a pump with a pressure switch that allows it to sense if
incoming water is pressurized, as from a water faucet, or if it is unpressurized, as
in a typical natural water feature.
It also includes a battery for electrical power.

OPERATION – PRESSURIZED WATER FROM FAUCET
1) Thread hose fitting (3/4” GHT) on red intake hose on to pressure regulator. Failure to use
pressure regulator may lead to flow rates that are too high for adequate disinfection.
2) Thread PRESSURE REGULATOR onto water faucet.
3) Press power button to start flow of water. On initial set up it may take up to 60 seconds for air to purge
from system.
NOTE: Pump will not run when operating in pressurized water mode. Reduced power requirements
will extend battery life.
4) Press power button again to stop the flow of water.

2) Wrap prefilter cloth around prefilter attachment. Secure with supplied rubber band.
3) Submerge prefilter in water source.
4) Push power button to start the flow of water. On initial set up it may take up to 60 seconds for air to
purge from system.
5) Press power button again to stop the flow of water.

INSTALLING OR CHANGING THE CARBON BLOCK FILTER
WHEN TO CHANGE THE CARBON BLOCK FILTER CARTRIDGE:
Carbon block filter cartridge should be changed after 1000 gallons of use, or once per year. Actual
capacity may vary depending upon quality of water filtered. Reduced water flow rate through the
Stream is an indication that the carbon block filter cartridge should be changed. The carbon block
filter cartridge may be visually inspected through the clear filter housing. Failure to use a carbon
block filter will reduce ability to disinfect water.
HOW TO INSTALL THE CARBON BLOCK FILTER CARTRIDGE:
1) Open the lid of the Stream. Connect the inlet and outlet hoses to the Stream, and run the system
for 10 seconds with the inlet hose drawing air, and pumping any residual water out of the filter cannis-
ter. Allow any pressure to disperse.
2) Disconnect the hoses, and invert the Stream so the lid side is down. Unscrew the carbon block
filter housing. Locate the o-ring on the perimeter of the cannister, and check that cannister gaskets
are removed from housing and base. Drain water and remove and discard carbon block element.

3) Place a new carbon block filter element in the cannister. Continue to hold the Stream with the lid
side down. Ensure top and bottom gaskets are in place, and filter cartridge is centered on mounting
posts. Make sure cannister o-ring is properly seated and cartridge gaskets are in place. Thread the
cannister onto the filter housing base. Tighten cannister firmly, making sure o-ring seats and seals.
4) Set up Stream for Pressurized or Unpressurized Operation, and turn on and run for 5 minutes,
checking for leaks, and allowing any carbon fines to flush out of new carbon block filter cartridge.

WATER MUST BE REMOVED FROM STREAM TO PREVENT DAMAGE FROM ICE EXPANSION.
1) Follow inital set up instructions to install inlet and outlet hoses. Allow inlet hose to ingest air. (Do
not submerge or connect inlet hose to water source.) DO NOT install PRESSURE REGULATOR or
PREFILTER to inlet hose.
2) Open lid.
3) Push power button to turn on STREAM. Pump should run. Observe water drain out of carbon
block filter housing.
4) Invert and hold the STREAM with the lid facing down. Unscrew the carbon block filter housing and
remove the carbon block filter cartridge. Find the o-ring housing seal. Set aside and allow to dry.
5) Reinstall carbon block filter housing, ensuring o-ring seal is seated in groove. Place STREAM with
the lid side up.
6) Push power button to turn on STREAM. Pump should run.
7) As the pump continues to run, blow into intake hose repeatedly to force remaining water out of
STREAM. Repeat until no water comes out outlet hose. Change orientation of STREAM to place
handle up. Blow into intake hose repeatedly to force remaining water out of STREAM. Repeat until
no water comes out outlet hose.
8) Disconnect hoses, drain water from them. Store carbon block cartridge separate from STREAM.
9) For long term storage, allow hoses and carbon block filter cartidge, and the interior of STREAM
CASE to thoroughly dry.

TIPS AND TROUBLE SHOOTING
ALWAYS USE PRE FILTER AND PREFILTER MESH when operating the STREAM with natural
sources of water. Ingesting large debris, rocks, or sand can damage pump.
ALWAYS USE PRESSURE REGULATOR when operating the STREAM with pressurized water.
Excess pressure increases the flow rate and will result in lower rates of filtration and disinfection.
PUMP PULSING ON AND OFF IS NORMAL. The pump may cycle on and off as it builds up pres-
sure against the carbon block filer.
DO NOT TURN ON WITHOUT WATER FLOW. Waterflow is required to cool LED UV unit. Operating
the STREAM for extended times without waterflow can damage UV unit.
DRAIN WATER FOR FREEZING TEMPERATURES Water must be removed from STREAM to avoid
damage from freezing temperatures. See page 13 for instructions.
VERIFY UV OPERATION by powering on the STREAM in a dark location. UV unit will visibly glow
indicating that LED bulbs are illuminating.
KEEP LID CLOSED during normal operation. The internal parts of the STREAM are splash proof, but
it will protect the critical components from moisture, weather, and dirt if the lid of the STREAM remains
closed.
CLEAN PREFILTER IN SILTY CONDITIONS. The membrane on the prefilter may be cleaned while it
is submerged in the water source. Turn off power to STREAM to stop suction. Agitate, and/or gently
scrub accumulated silt and sediment off of membrane. It is designed to be cleaned and reused.
MINIMIZE SILT INTAKE. Always attempt to reduce the amount of silt that enters the STREAM. Silt
will be filtered by the carbon block filter, however this will reduce the lifespan of the carbon block filter
cartridge. Methods to minimize silt include gravity settlement, or flocculation treatment with aluminum
sulfate.
CARRY A SPARE CARBON BLOCK FILTER. Carbon block filter cartridge is not field cleanable,
replace if it becomes completely clogged.
PURGE AIR FROM STREAM by running STREAM in orientation with handle up or alternately lid down.
