TIPS GENERAL INFORMATION

For best performance, follow the daily
maintenance for the auto fill kit and of
the LifeStraw Community (as described
in the LifeStraw Community User’s
Manual)
The LifeStraw Community Auto fill Kit is
designed to work with the standard range
of water preassure that comes from taps.
The maximum working water pressure
that can be used is 3 bar

If the LifeStraw Community is not in use

for longer than 2 days, turn off the tap
and drain water from the unit to avoid
standing water.

The LifeStraw® Community Auto fill is designed to detect the water level
on the dirty water tank and refill it automatically. This way, the user does
not have to be preoccupied with monitoring water levels and manual
refilling. Users will enjoy LifeStraw® Community filters that are always full,
preventing drinking water shortages in the event of water cuts or disruptions.
The LifeStraw® Community Autofill will ensure communities have constant
access to safe drinking water.
