Cleaning
Wash and dry the inside of the MyBottle thoroughly before using and regularly during heavy peri-
ods of use. If using with safe water and without the ViruStat® cartridge, the bottle must be com-
pletely disinfected to prevent contamination from previous contact with contaminated water. Your
MyBottle and the cap are dishwasher safe (without the cartridge). The rubber mouth piece cover
may be removed for cleaning it thoroughly. Do NOT use soap to clean the ViruStat® cartridge, the
Cyst filter or the Prefilter.
Before storage, remove excess water from the ViruStat® cartridge by disassembling all three com-
ponents. Shake out excess water. Allow the components to thoroughly dry. Wash and dry bottle.
Wash well and follow conditioning instructions before resuming use. Replace a used Cyst Filter
when taking the MyBottle system out of prolonged storage.
Do NOT use with carbonated or flavored beverages, as they may damage the ViruStat®
microbial purification cartridge.
IMPORTANT
Refer to the Important Notes and the Product Set-Up before using.
