PRECAUTIONS
•
Survivor Filter PRO X
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
Survivor Filter PRO X
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
replaced after regular use.
Also replace the Carbon Filter if you notice that the
filtered water has a bad taste or odor.

PRECAUTIONS
Survivor Filter PRO X
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
reduced.

How to Use
Priming the Internal System
Priming the System Option #1:
Unscrew and remove the Ultra Filter/Carbon Filter
assembly and fill the chamber with clean water.
You can then reinsert the Ultra Filter/Carbon Filter
assembly and begin operating the PRO X.
Priming the System Option #2:
Fill the entire backwashing Syringe with clean water.
Attach syringe to the Water Inlet Fixture on the PRO X.
Push through water and allow water to flow out of the
Ultra Filter Water Outlet Tip. Ensure the Carbon Filter
and Ultra Filter are still installed in the unit during this
step. You are now ready to use the PRO X!
NOTE: If you intend to store your PRO X for more than 4
weeks, please also follow the steps for priming the internal
system before next use.
To avoid damaging the internal system and the pump
mechanism, ensure the Ultra Filter Pre-Filter is aached to
the hose before use. Do not allow dirty water go flow into
the PRO X without the Ultra Filter Pre-Filter.
Once connected to a power source, you will need to prime
the internal system with water before the first use.
