HOW TO USE Before you use your Alter Ego duo, please follow these instructions step-by-step to flush your water filter. 1
Remove filter assembly from bottle by pulling it up.
3 Screw flushing bulb onto threaded end of filter.
5
Thread filter back into position onto filter assembly.
2 Unscrew filter from filter assembly and remove sticker from filter bottom. (when needed) 4 Press open end of flushing bulb onto faucet and turn on at low pressure for approx. 2 minutes. 6 Press-fit filter assembly back onto bottle.
1
Empty the bottle, rinse it with clear water and remove all water from inside the filtration assembly and cartridge by blowing vigorously into the straw.
2
Fill the bottle with fresh water and squeeze the water out of the filter assembly by pumping the bottle. Repeat 2 times
3
Fill the bottle with fresh water and drink normally. The iodine taste should now be gone. Repeat if you can still taste or smell iodine.
CLEANING Hand-wash for a longer life time. DO NOT wash the water filter with any soap or detergent. DO NOT put the water filter and/or filled bottle in the freezer. DO NOT fill with hot water or anything other than fresh water (no salt water).
STORAGE You can fill the bottle with water using the top OR the bottom lid openings. Drink from straw while bottle is upright. You can apply pressure on the bottle to help squeeze water out. Do not tilt the bottle while drinking.
For long-term storage, blow out excess water from filter and let dry 24 h-48 h in open air.
Warning : When using the Globetrotter filter cartridge an iodine concentration build-up can occur if the cartridge sits in the water for several hours without being used and it may give a strong iodine taste to the water in some cases. Iodine is not harmful and its presence is necessary to sterilize bacterias and viral pathogens. The Globetrotter filter cartridge is designed to remove all iodine taste and smell from water when the concentration is not too high. Please follow the above flushing instructions if your water tastes like iodine.
Warning : If the Globetrotter cartridge is left standing outside of the bottle without the excess water being blown out first, there may be drainage of some water that has been sitting in the iodine pre-filter which could result in a stain on your counter top or favorite scarf. Iodine is a highly potent element and it will stain if in direct contact with fabrics and hard surfaces. Please blow out the excess water from the filter assembly and cartridge before letting it dry. Store the Globetrotter cartridge on its side, or the whole filter assembly head down (cartridge up).
ALTER EGO MECHANICS : the greatest reduction per contaminant The Alter Ego technology provides the greatest reduction per contaminant, removing everything from chlorine and heavy metals to agricultural run-off and industrial waste.
