PRECAUTIONS
•
PRO X Electric Survival Filter
3 Filter Components Provide Triple Filtration
The Ultra Filter Pre-Filter provides the first line of defense
to remove large particles from incoming water. Insert the
Ultra Filter Pre-Filter (make sure to attach it to the Water
Inlet Hose first) directly into the water to be filtered. Use
the Float to keep the Ultra Filter Pre-Filter away from
mud or sediment. The Ultra Filter Pre-Filter must be fully
submerged in the water for proper operation of the
Survivor Filter PRO X. The Ultra Filter Pre-Filter can be
reused up to 100,000 liters (26,417 gallons).
Heavily polluted water or water with a high concentration
of silt will plug the Ultra Filter Pre-Filter and shorten its
life prematurely, avoid if possible. Clean/replace the Ultra
Filter Pre-Filter as necessary.

PRECAUTIONS
PRO X Electric Survival Filter
3 Filter Components Provide Triple Filtration
The Carbon Filter provides the second line of defense
to remove heavy metals, residual pesticides, organic
materials and odors from incoming water. The Carbon
Filter clips into the bottom of the Ultra Filter. Both
the Carbon Filter and the Ultra Filter sit within the
Housing during normal operation. The Carbon Filter
can be reused up to 2,000 liters (528 gallons).
•
•
Component #2 - The Carbon Filter
Since the Carbon Filter absorbs and holds contaminants
within its fibers, it cannot be cleaned and must be re-
placed after regular use.
Also replace the Carbon Filter if you notice that the fil-
tered water has a bad taste or odor.

PRECAUTIONS
PRO X Electric Survival Filter
3 Filter Components Provide Triple Filtration
The Ultra Filter provides the third line of defense to
remove smaller particles which have not been trapped
or absorbed by the Ultra Filter Pre-Filter or the Carbon
Filter. The Ultra Filter membrane is enclosed in an ABS
housing and cannot be removed. Both the Ultra Filter
and the Carbon Filter sit within the Housing during
normal operation. The Ultra Filter can be reused up to
100,000 liters (26,417 gallons).
The Ultra Filter can be gently tapped and rinsed in
clean running water to dislodge trapped particles.
Replace the Ultra Filter if the water flow becomes re-
duced.
