3. സജ്ജീകരണവും ആദ്യ ഉപയോഗവും
Before using your LifeStraw Personal Water Filter for the first time, it is recommended to prime the filter to ensure optimal performance.
- ക്യാപ്സ് നീക്കം ചെയ്യുക: Remove both the top and bottom caps from the LifeStraw.
- മുങ്ങുക: Place the bottom end of the LifeStraw into the water source, ensuring the filter is fully submerged.
- ഫിൽട്ടർ പ്രൈം ചെയ്യുക: Allow the filter to soak in the water for 20-30 seconds to saturate the membrane.
- Sip Water: Begin to sip water through the top mouthpiece. The first few sips may be difficult as the filter draws water through the membrane. Continue sipping until water flows freely.
- Discard First Sips: It is advisable to spit out the first few sips of water during initial priming.
4. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ
The LifeStraw Personal Water Filter is designed for direct use from a water source.
- Locate Water Source: Find a natural water source such as a stream, lake, or puddle.
- Submerge Filter: Remove the bottom cap and place the filter end directly into the water.
- നേരിട്ട് കുടിക്കുക: Place the mouthpiece into your mouth and sip water through the straw. The filter will remove harmful contaminants as you drink.
- ഇതര ഉപയോഗം: The LifeStraw can also be used to filter water into a clean container by allowing gravity to pull water through the filter, though direct sipping is the primary method.

5. പരിപാലനവും സംഭരണവും
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your LifeStraw filter.
Cleaning (Backflushing)
After each use, especially if flow rate decreases, backflush the filter:
- വെള്ളത്തിൽ നിന്ന് നീക്കം ചെയ്യുക: Take the LifeStraw out of the water source.
- Blow Air: Blow a strong puff of air through the mouthpiece (the end you drink from) to clear out any trapped particles from the filter membrane. This forces water back through the filter, dislodging contaminants.
- ആവർത്തിക്കുക: Repeat this process several times until the water flowing out of the bottom appears clear.
സംഭരണം
ദീർഘകാല സംഭരണത്തിനായി:
- നന്നായി വൃത്തിയാക്കുക: Ensure the filter is thoroughly backflushed and clean.
- ഉണങ്ങാൻ അനുവദിക്കുക: Shake off excess water and allow the filter to air dry completely with both caps removed. This prevents mold and mildew growth.
- സുരക്ഷിതമായി സംഭരിക്കുക: Once dry, replace the caps and store the LifeStraw in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
6. പ്രശ്നപരിഹാരം
| പ്രശ്നം | സാധ്യമായ കാരണം | പരിഹാരം |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty drawing water / Reduced flow rate | Filter membrane is clogged with sediment or debris. | Perform a thorough backflush by blowing air through the mouthpiece. Repeat several times. |
| വെള്ളം ഒഴുകുന്നില്ല | Air lock in the filter or completely clogged. | Ensure the filter is fully submerged and try a strong, continuous sip. If still no flow, backflush vigorously. |
| വെള്ളത്തിന് അസാധാരണമായ രുചി | Residual plastic taste from new filter or water source characteristics. | For new filters, flush with clean water several times. The taste should dissipate with use. The filter removes contaminants, but may not alter natural mineral tastes. |
