Using the LifeStraw Peak Series 8L Gravity Filter System is easy. First, fill the 8L gravity bag with water through the large cap. You can do this from a natural water source like a lake or river. Once filled, hang the bag from a tree or your RV using the carabiner and the easy carry strap. Connect the hose to the filter and place the other end in a container where you want the filtered water to go. The water will flow through the filter by gravity. If you're on the go, you can remove the filter from the gravity bag and use it as a straw directly in the water source or with a water bottle. As for maintenance, use the backwash accessory regularly to keep the filter working well. This will help remove any trapped sand or silt. When not in use, seal the connection with the smaller plug cap to store water. Be aware that the membrane microfilter has a lifespan of up to 2,000 L (500 gallons). Once the water stops flowing, it's time to replace the filter. Always use water from relatively clean sources to avoid overloading the filter. Also, keep the system in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain its durability.
