Instructions:
Uncap both ends and stand it up in the water, keeping the mouthpiece dry. Allow water to creep up into the membrane for a minute to prime the filter. Take 5 quick sucks and the water will flow. If it stops flowing while drinking in muddy water, blow back down into it to clear the filter membrane. When at home, drink some tap water and blow back into it to purge the filter of dirt particles. Let it dry before recapping.
