Using the Platypus GravityWorks 6L water filter system is a breeze. First, fill the 6L dirty reservoir with water from a natural source like a river or lake. Then, connect the quick - disconnect hose assembly to the dirty reservoir and the filter cartridge. Hang the dirty reservoir up high, allowing gravity to pull the water through the filter and into the 6L clean reservoir. You can then use the water in the clean reservoir for drinking, cooking, etc. When it comes to maintenance, backflushing the filter every now and then is important. Just follow the simple four - second backflushing process without any additional tools. Make sure to store the system in a dry place when not in use. And always check the filter for any signs of damage before each use. If you notice any issues, it might be time to replace the filter cartridge. Also, be careful when handling the reservoirs to avoid any punctures.
