PRIMING
Priming is an essential step that must be performed before you
start to use the bottle to drink from.
Correct priming will accelerate the flow rate during use.
Watch video or follow the instructions below.
1. Remove base Fand fill with clean water.
2. Replace base Fand leave full for 5 minutes.
3. Remove base Fand discard water.
4. Fill with clean water, replace base Fand pump Hthree times.
5. Open lid Band turn water flow valve Eto release water from
drinking spout A. Water will have a slow flow rate initially.
6. Pump Hto sustain flow rate until bottle is empty.
7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6.
8. Your LifeSaver®Liberty™bottle is now ready to use.

1. Fill bottle (not essential but helps achieve a better flow, faster).
2. Attach scavenger hose to bottle pump inlet Gand insert float
valve end in to water source.
3. Open top cap Band turn water flow valve E90 degrees to ON.
4. Pump Hcontinuously to achieve flow.
5. Standard wide mouthed bottles can be connected directly into the
top of your bottle as pictured for additional water storage.
6. Using a LifeSaver Hydration Bladder Connector (sold separately)
connected to the drinking spout, you can fill an external hydration
bladder such as a CamelBak®.

1. De-pressurize and empty. Keep the water tight screw lid fitted and
use this to twist counter-clockwise, unscrewing the drinking nozzle
outer cylinder.
2. Underneath will reveal the recess for the carbon filter. Pry out the
existing carbon filter and replace with the new carbon filter by
placing it into the empty recess, pushing slightly to seat the filter fully.
3. Re-screw the drinking nozzle outer cylinder onto the bottle body
ensuring the hinge seal for the top cap is correctly seated in place.
Note: Leaving the activated carbon filter inside the bottle while in long
term storage may cause microbiological growth to occur. This will
not have come from the bottle but may come from the user’s saliva.
Always remove and discard the activated carbon filter when storing
the LifeSaver Liberty™bottle long term.
CAUTION
THIS IS A PRESSURE VESSEL
The bottle should not require more than 5 pumps to work effectively.
If you need to pump more to induce water flow, always do so with the
water flow valve turned to open to gauge whether you need to
re-pump the bottle. If the bottle requires more pumping than expected,
the bottle may need to be cleaned. Alternatively the cartridge may be
reaching the end of its service life.
Do not keep pumping if water is not flowing from the bottle; this will
over pressurize the bottle, which will result in the product becoming
over stressed. To release pressure from the bottle unscrew the pump
base slowly by ¼ turn until you hear a hiss sound.
Always keep the membranes of the cartridge hydrated once primed
by storing at least 1 cm / ½ inch of water in the bottle at all times while
keeping the bottle sealed with the pump tightened, and water flow
valve shut. Failure to do so will cause the membranes to dry out and
the system to shut down. This is not covered under your warranty and
you will need to purchase another cartridge.
Do not operate the pump while the bottle is empty.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
Do not allow grit, sand or other abrasive matter to enter the bottle.
If this happens it should be removed by rinsing. Abrasive matter
remaining in the bottle will cause the seals to prematurely wear
which could cause the bottle to leak.
HOW TO CLEAN THE BOTTLE
WHEN OUTDOORS
Remove the pump and half fill the bottle with the cleanest water
available, re-screw the pump back into place. Gently shake and rotate
the bottle to move the water around the surface of the filter, splashing
the water against the walls. Unscrew and remove the pump base and
empty the water from the pump end and repeat as necessary until the
water being emptied out is clean.
HOW TO CLEAN THE BOTTLE
WHEN AT HOME
Remove your filter from the bottle and fit your flush cap over the clean
face of the filter. Soak the filter in a basin of tepid water for around
½ hour. We would recommend a small amount of sterilising solution
is added to kill any pathogens left on the filter surfaces or your basin.
A dissolved chlorine tablet or liquid sterilising solution will do the job
(follow manufacturer’s instructions for dilution). Rinse the filter off after
with clean water, remove the flush cap and re-fit into the bottle.
All plastics, excluding the filter, can be cleaned with normal washing
up liquid and tepid water but ensure you rinse and dry all parts
after cleaning.
HOW TO REMOVE AND
RE-FIT THE FILTER CARTRIDGE
The filter cartridge simply screws into and out of the top of the
bottle carcass. Use the small tabs on the bottom of the filter to
leverage against and twist in and out of place. Clockwise to fit
and counter-clockwise to remove.
HOW TO CHECK YOUR FILTER
IS WORKING CORRECTLY
Do not subject the bottle to shock or insert objects into
the filter.
The ultra-filtration membranes are extremely robust and have been
designed for a long service life. However, if exposed to higher than
normal shock loads from being dropped or struck, the cartridge is
susceptible to breakage. A membrane integrity check should be
performed every time the bottle has been subjected to shock or
when you suspect damage may have occurred to the bottle.
