work properly. (Please contact MSR customer service if you suspect your filter

has dried out.)

Towel dry the outside of the pump. Gently rub off any debris from the Prefilter

and rinse it with fresh water.

Before or after long-term storage, sterilize the purifier to ensure fresh-tasting

water (see “Sterilizing the Purifier”).

STERILIZING THE PURIFIER

When to sterilize: Sterilize the Purifier before and/or after long-term storage to

ensure long life and fresh-tasting water. Also sterilize it before any disassembly.

1. Mix a solution of 2 mL (~1/2 tsp) of household bleach (free of dyes or perfumes)

with 2 L of water, or dissolve 12 MSR Aquatabs® tablets in 2 L of water.

2. Pump most of this solution through the purifier, stopping before air can

enter the pump.

3. Wait 30 minutes.

4. Pump 1-2 liters of clean water to clear any remaining solution from pump.

5. Pump the Handle to purge excess water from the Purifier.

PURIFIER CARE AND MAINTENANCE HOW IT WORKS

The Guardian Purifier’s Hollow Fiber Filter removes pathogens and other

particles through . This is the most reliable means size exclusion purification

of purification because the fibers’ pores physically block pathogens,

including viruses. Pressure forces clean water through the walls of these

fibers. The microbes and dirt left behind are pumped out through the

Dirty Water Outlet Hose.

Other purifiers rely on chemicals or UV light to kill pathogens, or adsorption

(such as carbon) to attract them. While these methods can be effective in clear

water, the Guardian Purifier is reliably effective in all water types – clear,

turbid, tea colored or muddy.

The Guardian Purifier also uses a patent-pending system to self-clean with

every stroke. It does not require in-field cleaning to maintain flow.

REPLACING THE FILTER

CARTRIDGE

The Guardian Purifier’s Hollow Fiber Filter

has been tested to over 10,000 liters.

When to replace: The Filter Cartridge

should be replaced when the flow rate

drops to less than 1L /min. when pumping

70 strokes per minute. The filter is still

purifying water, but more wear occurs on

internal parts as the flow rate drops.

DISASSEMBLY

1. Unthread the Filter Base from Pump

Housing.

ASSEMBLY

1. Lightly lubricate the Filter Cartridge

O-ring and Filter Base O-ring.

3. Thread the Filter Base into the Pump

Housing. Don’t over tighten.

The Filter Base is designed to stop

rotating when it’s fully threaded.

Disassembling the Purifier can expose you to contaminated parts, resulting

in sickness. MSR recommends sterilizing the Purifier before any disassembly.

If you cannot sterilize the Purifier, wash your hands after disassembly. thoroughly
