Where can the straw be used?
Use the straw for drinking from rivers, streams and other fresh water sources. Travel, backpacking, mountaineering, camping, back country adventures, hiking, walking, survival, emergency kit.

HOW IT WORKS
The filter works by forcing water through microscopic holes in a medical grade membrane (the same kind used for kidney dialysis) preventing, bacteria, protozoa and other particles from passing into the tiny straws which then enable you to drink clean water. The coconut carbon and silver ions help remove heavy metals and bad tastes.

If viruses may be present you may wish to use a purifying tablet in the filtered water before you drink it.

MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR USE
1. Drink directly from the water source with or without the extension straw.
2. Attach to your HydraMate Foldable Bottle or any other standard 28mm screw top bottle.
3. Fill your HydraMate bottle and squeeze into a clean container.
4. Attach to the end of your water bladder straw and drink normally

- Use the pre-filter attachment on the straw to remove large particles from the water before drinking

AFTER USE
Simply blow into the straw or flick to expel any remaining water and dirt particles.
No syringe needed. 

WARNINGS
Do not use with salt water.
Do not use in hot water.

Always drink from the cleanest water you can find and take extra precautions where human faeces may be in the water source.
