Activating the filter

You must activate your filter before using it but this very simple to do.

The filter must be wet thoroughly to activate the technology; drinking before the filter is fully wet can lead to unfiltered water passing through the membrane. We suggest the first time you use a new filter to fill the bottle up, submerging the filter for a minimum of 15 minutes. Once you have done this, your filter will be activated and you will be ready to go.

If the filter is removed from the bottle and has stood for several days and becomes completely dry, reactivate using the same method.

All our bottles have the same 200 litre filter.

How the filter works

Our filters incorporate 3 different technologies that combine to eliminate well over 99.98% of microbiological contaminants from any non-saltwater source in the world providing clean, safe drinking water wherever and whenever you need it.

This means you can use Water-to-Go to stay healthy and hydrated anywhere in the world, by filling from any tap and other questionable sources and access safe drinking water straight away without needing to purchase single-use plastic bottles.

Here are some important points to bear in mind when using your Water-to-Go bottle:

• Change the filter after 200 litres .
• Ensure the lid and filter are properly tightened to ensure a good seal but do not over-tighten.
• Do not let contaminated water come into contact with the outer lid or spout. No matter how good Water-to-Go filters are, they can only filter what is inside the bottle.
• Our bottles deliver a drinking rate of 15-18 mls per second; a good guzzle rate! The filter controls the flow rate. 
• We recommend you clean your lid and spout regularly (handwash only).
