AQUA Logic Travel Mate CCS 0.5mcr hand pump water filter

Water filter properties

The filter element consists of a specially formulated ceramic material (1) in combination with Active Carbon (2). Both materials are of organic origin and treated with Nano-silver. The ceramic material has a very small pore through which visible dirt and micro-organisms are captured. (bacteria reduction > 99.9%). The activated carbon absorbs taste, odor and colorants, as well as chlorine and other chemicals, while the presence of nano-silver ensures that microorganisms are rendered harmless.

Floating dirt, sand, etc. are stopped by a suction filter (3) that is attached to the suction hose. This suction filter also has a submersible weight (4) so that it remains below the water surface and therefore no floating dirt and air can be sucked in. The slidable float (5) on the suction hose can be slid to the correct height so that no dirt can be sucked up from the bottom.

The filter works without the addition of chemicals and is constructed from corrosion-free components.

The filter surface can be easily cleaned using the included Cleaning Pad.

Usage

Before using the filter, it is recommended to read this manual carefully!

Preferably use the filter on a clean surface, so that no dust or dirt can get into the filtered water.

When using surface water for the preparation of drinking water, it is highly recommended to first pour the water through a few layers of (clothing) fabric to remove clay particles and other dirt. This prevents silting of the filter surface.

Make sure that the suction filter (3) remains submerged properly and, if necessary, slide the float (5) to the correct height so that no bottom dirt can be sucked in. Remove the cap (6) from the water spout and move the pump lever (7) up and down with gentle strokes. This sucks up water and forces it through the filter.

Move the pump handle (7) with smooth and controlled strokes. Pumping faster or with a lot of force does not contribute to a higher water yield, but will rather lead to more wear.

With a new/clean filter element, the Travel Mate produces an output of approximately one liter per minute.

With a new filter, the first liters of water (ceramic/carbon) may contain grit. Therefore, rinse the filter well until the water is completely clear. If the filter has not been used for some time, it is also advisable to rinse the filter.

After use, close the water outlet by means of the integrated cap (6) to prevent the clean water side of the filter from becoming contaminated!

Maintenance

Depending on the degree of contamination of the water to be filtered, the suction filter (3) and/or the surface of the filter element (1) can become clogged. This will be noticeable by the decrease in the amount of outflowing water. In that case, first check whether the suction filter (3) is clean. If necessary, it can be cleaned by sliding the immersion weight (metal spring) (4) backwards and rinsing out the foam filter. Replace this foam filter when it is damaged (a spare is included).

If this gives no improvement, the cover (9) of the filter housing can be opened and the surface of the filter element cleaned. This is done by sanding off dirt with the included Cleaning Pad, after which the dirt can be rinsed off.

Periodically check whether the filter element (1) is still thick enough. This can be checked with the supplied 'gauge' (blue fitting template). If it fits easily around the filter element, it must be replaced.

Also check that the pump parts (plunger and rubber ring) (8) are clean. The pump is

accessible by unscrewing the filter element (1) (counterclockwise). Lubricate the plunger ring and the pump shaft (8) with the supplied silicone grease. Never use other lubricants for this!

When replacing the filter element, make sure that the sealing ring is clean and properly positioned. Then tighten the filter element properly (by hand) to prevent leakage of dirty water!

When closing the housing, make sure that the rubber sealing ring is clean and properly seated in the edge of the housing. In case of damage or loss, use the supplied spare ring.

Also after maintenance, rinse the filter well before using water for consumption!

When the filter is not used for a longer period of time, it is recommended to open the filter housing and let the filter dry. When using the filter again, it is advisable to flush the filter for a few minutes.

Finally

Care is important when using and maintaining this water filter, as it is about the safety of your drinking water!
