PRIMING
• Fill Cube with clean water and leave for 10 minutes.
1
• Discard water.
2
• Fill with clean water and pump 30–40 times.
3
• Lay Cube on its side (tap facing down), open tap and allow water
to flow. As flow rate drops pump again, until empty.
4
• If not using immediately, repeat steps 3 and 4.
• Leave at least 1 inch of water in Cube when finished.
Priming is an essential step that must be performed before you start to use
the Cube to drink from.
The flow rate will improve over the first 24 hours following the priming.

ROUTINE USE
• Fill with water.
1
Ensure tap area doesn’t come in contact with
contaminated water. Replace pump.
• With tap closed, pump 30–40 times.
2
• Open tap to allow clean drinking water to flow. As flow rate reduces,
pump to maintain flow.
3
• Continue to pump whilst the tap is open at a rate of approximately 1 pump
per second to maintain flow.
4
Turn tap off after use.
Using the tap:
Twist tap clockwise and lock into position for a sustained flow of water or
push and hold down tap for an instant shot of water.
To release tap, twist anti-clockwise.
IMPORTANT
Always leave at least 1 inch of water in your Cube. Ensure pump is
screwed back on tightly.

• Keep the membranes of the cartridge in the Cube hydrated by
storing at least 1 inch of water in the Cube at all times whilst
keeping the Cube sealed with the pump and tap in place. Failure
to do so will cause the membranes to dry out, the nano pores to
close and the system will shut down. This is not covered under
your warranty and you will need to purchase another cartridge
(see page 13 for storage instructions).
• Do not pump if water is not flowing from the Cube; this will over
pressurise the Cube, which will result in the product becoming
stressed. To release pressure from the Cube unscrew the pump
slowly by ¼ of a turn until you hear a hiss sound. Hold on to
the pump firmly whilst unscrewing.
• Do not operate the pump whilst the Cube is empty.
• The flow rate will be faster when the Cube is full of water.
• The flow rate will be faster when the Cube is used with warmer
water, therefore glacier melt water will slow the flow.
• The Cube is designed to be used on a table, but as water level
decreases, to increase flow rate, lay on its side (tap facing down)
or hold by hand like a jug.

HELPFUL TIPS

The activated carbon filter block improves the palatability of water by
removing chlorine, taste and odour. Your Cube will arrive without the activated
carbon filter installed. See below for installation and replacement instructions.
Installation
• Unscrew and remove tap from Cube.
• Insert activated carbon filter into tap and rescrew tap onto Cube.
Removal
• Unscrew and remove tap from Cube.
• Using a small screw, screw clockwise into the centre of the carbon filter
until it’s over halfway through the carbon block.
1
• Using a sharp pulling motion remove carbon filter from tap.
2
• When fitted, the water flowing from the Cube may contain grey / black
particles. This is harmless carbon dust and will disappear after 2–3 uses.
ACTIVATED
CARBON FILTER
CAUTION
Leaving the activated carbon filter inside the Cube whilst in long-term storage
may cause microbiological growth to occur. Always remove and discard the
activated carbon filter when storing the Cube long-term.

Always use the cleanest water available. Dirt and debris will build up on the
surface of the cartridge, reducing the cartridge’s life span. The effects can
be reduced with regular cleaning.
How to clean the Cube when outdoors
• Fill the Cube with around 1 litre of the cleanest water available and swill
around the Cube to remove debris and dirt from the bottom of the Cube.
Empty the water through the pump hole.
• Refill the Cube ¼ full with the cleanest water available and re-fit the pump.
Swill the water around the Cube, turning the Cube upside down
to distribute the water around the Cube. Continue for up to 1 minute.
• Empty the water through the pump hole.
• Repeat this process until the water being tipped away is visibly clean.
MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
CAUTION
Do not attempt to touch the membranes of the cartridge through the protective
mesh as this can cause damage and will void your warranty. Keep the cartridge
free from dirt and debris.

• Remove the filter from the Cube by removing the tap and lifting the filter
out. Remove the o-ring from the top of the filter and keep it to one side.
1
• Place the protective cap provided over the clean face of the filter.
2
• Soak the filter in a basin of tepid water for ½ hour. We recommend a small
amount of sterilizing solution is added to kill any pathogens left on the
filter surfaces or your basin. A dissolved chlorine tablet or liquid sterilizing
solution will do the job (follow manufacturer’s instructions for dilution).
Rinse the filter with clean running water and leave to drain for 4 hours.
3
• Whilst the cartridge is draining, wash all of the plastic components including
the o-ring with a mild detergent solution in warm water using a soft cloth.
Rinse the components thoroughly under running water and drain for 1 hour.
• Refit the o-ring to the top of the filter. Ensure that it is positioned tightly
against the flange (lip) of the filter.
• With clean hands, insert the filter into the Cube and press down to fix
into place.
• Wipe the clean face of the filter with a sterile wipe or clean cloth to clean
any contamination from the clean face.
• Fit the tap and ensure it is tightened firmly with the top facing straight
forward.

How to replace the filter cartridge
• Unscrew and remove pump from Cube and empty any water.
• Remove tap.
• Remove filter and discard as mixed recyclable plastic waste.
• Wash all plastic components including the white flat seal (found under
the pump handle) in warm water with mild detergent solution using a soft
cloth. Rinse thoroughly under running water and leave to drain for 1 hour.
• Remove new filter from packaging and ensure the two o-rings are
positioned tightly against the flange (lip) of the filter. Insert filter into
the Cube and press down to fix into place.
• Replace tap. Ensure that the tap is tightened firmly and facing
straight forward.
• Prime new filter, as per instructions on page 4.
Installing a new cartridge whilst outdoors causes a heightened risk of cross
contamination. When changing the cartridge ensure you have clean, dry
hands and the tap and cartridge remain sterile.
How to check your filter is working correctly
The ultra filtration membranes have been integrated into a robust cartridge
and have been designed for a long service life. However, if treated incorrectly
the cartridge is liable to break.
The membrane integrity check should be performed every time the Cube has
been subjected to shock or when you suspect damage may have occurred
to the Cube cartridge.
