Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This replacement membrane microfilter is exclusively designed for the LifeStraw Home water filter pitchers and dispensers. Ensure your system is a LifeStraw Home model before purchasing.
Setup:
- Remove the old filter from your LifeStraw Home pitcher or dispenser.
- Rinse the new replacement filter under cold running water for 15 seconds.
- Insert the new filter into the designated compartment, ensuring it is securely seated.
- Prime the filter by filling the pitcher or dispenser with water and discarding the first full pitcher/dispenser of filtered water. This process removes any residual air or carbon fines.
Care:
- Replace the filter every 264 gallons or approximately once a year, whichever comes first. Filter performance can degrade over time, even if not fully utilized.
- Store the pitcher or dispenser with the filter in a cool, dry place when not in regular use.
- Do not freeze the filter or the pitcher/dispenser system.
- Clean the pitcher/dispenser components regularly with mild soap and water, but avoid submerging the filter itself.
