1. OPERATING & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY

The LFJC is fitted with a special membrane which uses 'Low Pressure' Nanofiltration hollow fiber membrane

technology @ 5 nanometer retention and is suitable to protect against water borne bacteria and virus and all other

pathogen organisms found in untreated clear water in lakes, rivers, brooks or tap water of many countries.

When used in accordance with this operating and maintenance instructions, it filters out up to 99.99999% of all

waterborne bacteria (7 Log) and up to 99.999% of all waterborne viruses (5 Log).

The capacity of the LFJC to filter water depends on the quality of water to be filtered.

a. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

For optimum results, follow carefully the instructions below

Unscrew and remove the pump and fill the Jerry can with untreated water.

2. Screw the pump back in place while checking if the rubber joint of the pump is in place and firmly lock the pump in

clockwise position (bayonet lock).

3. Ensure that the outlet arrow is in open position and start pumping several times by turning the lever in anti-clockwise

position of the bayonet lock to get the rod in pumping position: check whether there is no air coming out of the pump or

out of the filter module.

4. When the Jerry can is fully filled with water (20 liters), only 6 – 8 times pumping is needed before the filtered water

comes out of the outlet of the filter module. When the flow is reducing, perform a few pump actions to increase the

flow again to the initial flow. When the flow is returned to the maximum or initial flow, stop pumping!

5. To finish, unscrew the pump to release the pressure and close the tap of the outlet of the filter module by placing the

arrow NOT towards the outlet.

REMARKS:

1. Do not 'over pump' or make too much pressure on the system because this can cause damage to the filter or other parts

of the LFJC Jerry can system.

The LFJC Jerry can does not remove salt out of salty water or seawater or high concentrations of chemicals.

Do not use hot water (>45°C) or frozen water because this will damage the filter module.

Ensure that the LFJC system is stored dry and outside direct sunlight

5. Ensure that the system is de-pressurized by unscrewing the pump and with the outlet arrow in open position and that

the filter module has been

filtering water or when the flow is reduced at maximum pressure (Jerry can is minimum for ½ filled with water).

The flow and capacity to filter water from the LFJC depends of the quality of the untreated water.

b. FILTER MODULE BACKWASHING

The membranes in the filter module will become blocked or clogged after having been in operation for some time. Filtered water

flow reduces and pumping becomes more difficult. When this happens, the filter needs a backwash! The filter module with

hollow fiber membranes act as nano-porous sieve that filters out micro-biological organisms and particles. To dislodge these

particles, follow the instructions below:

Turn the tap of the outlet with the arrow to open position so the air can enter via the outlet

2. Push the outlet unit slightly down and turn the unit for a quart turn in anti-clockwise direction to unlock the unit

(bayonet) and lift up the outflow unit. This device is now acting as the back-wash pump.

3. Unlock the pump of the Jerry can by turning the handle in anti-clockwise direction and push the pump handle of the

Jerry can down slowly: pump a few times so the water flows out the outlet unit.

4. Turn the tap arrow in closed position once the water starts flowing from the tap; any position of the 'arrow' is closed

when the arrow is non-open position!

Unscrew the pump to release the pressure from the LFJC
