WP-1924

Pour-Through Water Puriﬁcation and Filtration System

Congratulations!

Thank you for choosing the B. David Company

Portable Water Filtration/Purication System!

How It Works

The WP-1924 is a portable pour through

gravity-powered system that provides ltered

and puried drinking water from virtually any

fresh or moving water source.

Designed to be eective and convenient,

the system will remove bacteria, cysts,

virus and various chemicals and organic

contaminants. lt Is an essential for camping,

food storage, and in preparation for emergency

or disaster situations. The B. David

Pour-Through System has been proven

eective by relief, missionary and government

organizations in the United States as well

as in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East

and in Asia.

The system lters and puries water in

a four-stage process. First, a coarse cloth

lter, stretched over the top of the source

water pail, removes large sediment particles,

turbidity, dirt, and debris. Then a ltration

sleeve (surrounding the purication cartridge)

removes any additional sedimentation and

turbidity. Next, the nano ltration stage

eliminates bacteria, cysts and virus. Finally,

the Multi-media Cartridge absorbs chemicals,

organic matter, environmental contaminants,

pesticides, herbicides and other contaminants

which can cause oensive tastes and odors.

Leaving you with great-tasting clean

drinking water.

Please take a few moments to read this

manual to better understand how to properly

assemble and maintain your new water

purication system.

ASSEMBLY

WP-1924 Pour-Through Water Puriﬁcation and Filtration System 3

Assembling your new system is a simple process. Follow the detailed instructions and you will be

enjoying clear, great-tasting water in a matter of minutes!

Begin the assembly by washing your hands with soap and water. Next

remove the (blue) sanitary plugs from the lower spigot hole in the bucket

and from the bucket lid. These plugs may be saved for use when unit

is stored.

Always wash hands thoroughly

with soap and water before

handling system components.

Before using system wash the Filtered Water Container

to ensure removal of any contaminants introduced while

being handled or stored.

OPERATION

Purication Stages 1 and 2

1. Fill a collection pail with

water from any tap, clear,

moving, or freshwater

source. (Do not use hot, salt

or brackish water).

2. If Optional Pre-Filter

Net was purchased,

stretch it over the top

of the Source Water

Container, seating the

elastic over the upper

lip of the pail.

3. Pour the water

through the Pre-Filter

Net and into the Source

Water Container. The

Pre-Filter Net will lter

large particles and

debris from the source

water. The Sleeve

over the Pleated

Fibrous Filter will

remove sediment

and particles up to 5

microns in size.

4. After you have poured water from the

collection pail into the source water

container cover the pail with its lid.

Purication Stages 3 and 4

Once through the Pre-Filter Net gravity

gradually pulls the water

through the Pleated

Fibrous Filter, removing

cysts, bacteria and virus

then down through the

center of the Filter Con-

nector. The water then

enters the Multi-Media

Cartridge where chemi-

cals, pesticides, herbi-

cides, organic matter and

other contaminants are

absorbed by the Multi-

Media Cartridge, removing

toxins, bad tastes and odors from the

water.

The water is ready to drink as soon as it

enters the Puried Water Con-

tainer. There is no need to wait for

this container to ll beyond the

level of the Spigot. just depress

the Spigot (located

near the bottom of

the Puried Water

Container) to

dispense clear,

ltered water.

NOTE: The rst few gallons of

ltered water may contain carbon

nes – which appear black In

color. These carbon nes are not

harmful, but can be ushed rather

than consumed. To ush, simply

allow the rst few gallons of water

to pass, unused through the system, until

the water runs clear.

Remember: The clearer the source water,

the longer your lters will last.

WP-1924 Pour-Through Water Puriﬁcation and Filtration System 4

Hot water diminishes the system’s ltration life.

How often should I clean the system? The answer to this question varies greatly, based on the

cleanliness of your operating conditions. In fairly clean conditions, it is recommended that you clean

the system at least once a week. During emergency conditions the following is recommended:

Maintenance During Normal Use:

(IMPORTANT: To avoid contamination of the system wash hands and use clean materials whenever

having contact with interior surfaces).

Daily:

Discard any unused water stored in the lower bucket for 72 hours or more.

Twice each week:

a. Using ltered water, rinse any dirt from inside the Source Water Container.

b. Rinse the Pre-Filter Net and Pleated Fibrous Filter and Filter Sleeve (if used) with clear water to remove

any debris which may have accumulated.

c. Use a cloth dampened with chlorine solution to wipe out the inside of all three containers and the

spigot. This treatment of the Purication Container and the Spigot is particularly important. Use 1/2

teaspoon of household bleach (5.5-6% Chlorine Hypochlorite) per 5 gallons of water.

d. Reassemble the system for operation.

e. Wipe dirt or debris from the outside of the surface and rinse with clear, clean water.

NOTE: With the exception of the pleated lter and multi-media cartridges, all other surfaces can be ex-

posed to hot soapy water.

General: Track usage to ensure that lters are replaced at the required frequencies stated in the System

Manual. Remember, the capacity depends upon source water.

2. To remove the Multi-Media Filtration

Cartridge unscrew it from the Filter

Connector. Remove the

Gasket from the lower end

of the Filter Connector.

3. To remove the Pleated

Fibrous Filter from the

Source Water Container

unscrew it from the Filter

Connector while gripping

the lower end of the Filter

Connector. Remove the

Gasket from the upper end of the Filter

Connector and remove the Filter Connector.

1. Remove Pre-Filter Net

and lift the entire assembly

o of the Puried Water

Container by the lid. The

Source Water Container

and cartridge assembly

are all attached to the lid.

DISASSEMBLY FOR MAINTENANCE, FILTER REPLACEMENT OR STORAGE

WP-1924 Pour-Through Water Puriﬁcation and Filtration System 5

For cleaning and maintenance, lter replacement, transportation or for ease of storage your system must

sometimes be disassembled. To do so, follow the directions found below. Be sure to wash your hands

thoroughly with soap and water before handling system components. (For more detail see assembly

instructions on pages 4 and 5.)

It is very important that your system be kept clean at all times. When cleaning the spigot, as well as the inside and

outside of the pails, make sure to use a clean cloth dampened with chlorine. Used or dirty towels will expose the sys-

tem to contaminants which can cause illness.

MAINTENANCE A N D CLEANING

STORAGE

WP-1924 Pour-Through Water Puriﬁcation and Filtration System 6

To store for brief periods of non-use (several days), ush the system throughly (at least 2 gallons) before

and after the period of non-use.

If you are not planning to use the system for an extended period of time (several weeks, months or more)

the Pleated Fibrous Filter and Multi-Media Cartridge must be replaced before re-using the system.

1. Run clear water through the system to ush the cartridges.

2. Remove the Filter Cartridges from Filter Connector and allow them to drain and dry. The Pre-Filter Net

and Filter Sleeve should also be dry before storage.

3. Rinse and wipe the system out according to the maintenance instructions on the previous page and

wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Remember to wipe the outside of the source water container as well.

Note: As you un-assemble unit remember to place all cleaned components and lters on a clean

surface to avoid contamination.

4. Remove Spigot and associated washers and nuts.

5. Replace the sanitary caps in the holes left by the Filter Connector

and the Spigot.

6. Place the Spigot and Spigot parts, Gaskets and Filter Connecter in

a re-sealable plastic parts bag.

7. Place the Pre-Filter Net, Filtration Sleeve, Multi- Media Cartridge,

the Pleated Fibrous Filter and the bag containing the Spigot,

Gaskets and Filter Connector into the Source Water Container.

8. Place the lid on the Source Water Container and, after wiping down

the outside, place it inside the Puried Water Container.

9. Place the lid back onto the Puried Water Container to

protect contents from contamination.

10. Place the system in its box.

This system is now fully un-assembled and ready for storage or transport.

Remember: After storage or transport clean the spigot and the interior of the puried water container before using

it. Moisture from the sediment pre-lter and/or the source water container can contaminate it when In the “stored”

position.

CHANGING CARTRIDGES

When should I replace the Filter Net?

Item: WP-2040

The Pre-Filter Net is very durable and can be

cleaned and re-used repeatedly. It should be

replaced when there is indication of wear that

would reduce its eectiveness in screening

unwanted debris from the source water. This

include fraying, noticeable change m weave or

exhaustion of the elastic used to hold it on the

source water pail.

When should I replace the Filter Sleeve?

Item: WP-2050

The Filter Sleeve can be rinsed to eliminate

debris and improve ow rate however if rinsing

does not improve ow rate it should be replaced.

When should I replace the Pleated Fibrous

Purication Filter?

Item: WP-1803

Replace after 6 months or if

there is a noticeable reduction

in ow rate that cannot be re-

solved by taking the following

steps:

1. Remove the Pleated Fibrous

Filter from the Filter Connector.

2. Hold the lter horizontally by

it’s end- caps, and GENTLY tap

it on a hard surface. Rotate and

repeat several times. This may loosen any larger

particles trapped in the lter’s surface.

3. Rinse the lter with clear water to remove any

debris it may have accumulated.

4. Re-connect the lter to the Filter Connecter

inside Source Water Container.

5. If water ow is still slow, replace the used

Pleated Fibrous Filter with a new one- attaching it

as pictured.

When should I replace the Multi- Media

Filter Cartridge?

Item: WP-1802

After approximately 6, 500 liters (1,800 gal-

lons)* or 12 months of use, you will need to

replace the Multi-Media Filtration Cartridge.

If you notice any changes in taste and/or

odor, this is also a good indication that the

Multi-Media Cartridge is in need of replace-

ment. To replace the cartridge please follow

the detailed steps found below:

1. Lift the lid assembly

o of the puried water

container. The source

water container and

cartridge assembly are

attached to this lid.

2. Un-screw the Car-

tridge from the Filter

Connecter on the bottom

side of the lid. Discard the used cartridge

as you would your normal trash. (Be careful

to remove the gasket from the threaded

end of the cartridge and save it for use with

the new cartridge.) Thoroughly wash the

system with ltered water. Be sure to clean

the entire system before installing a new

ltration cartridge.

3. Place the gasket (reserved in step 2)

over the threaded end of a new Multi-

Media Filtration Cartridge. Screw the

cartridge onto the Filter Connecter by

turning it clockwise (by hand only).

4. Flush the new cartridge by allowing

water to ow through the system until

it runs clear. This will remove any loose

carbon nes from the carbon stage of the

Multi-Media Cartridge. Although carbon

nes are completely harmless new

cartridges should be ushed thoroughly

before use.

TROUBLESHOOTING

WP-1924 Pour-Through Water Puriﬁcation and Filtration System 9

The following list includes situations that may occur during your use of the system.

If, after reviewing this list, you are still unable to repair or solve a complication,

please contact your local distributor for assistance.

SITUATION SOLUTION

Black dust in the water The black dust consists of loose particles of activated carbon that may be

rinsed out of the multi-media cartridge by ushing water through it. These

particles are NOT harmful.

“Flakes” in cold water Higher concentrations of natural minerals in the water will solidify into

“akes” or ‘’specs” when the water becomes frozen, then melts. These

same minerals can also leave a deposit on pots when water is boiled.

Natural minerals are benecial, and the visible presence of them should be

of no concern.

Slow ow rate The pleated lter or multi-media cartridge may be plugged.

First, check the Pleated Filter using the following steps:

1. Remove the source water pail and the double lid (with the lters

attached) from the system.

2. Remove the pleated lter from the lter connector. 5. Clean and rinse the

pleated lter following the steps located on page 8 of this manual.

3. After cleaning the pleated lter, reinstall it and run water through the

system once more.

4. If there Is little or no water ow, replace the pleated lter with a new one.

5. Reinstall the multimedia cartridge and check the ow rate.

6. If the ow rate is still too slow, the system requires a new multi-media

cartridge.

Unusual taste If an unusual taste develops In your puried water, the multi-media car-

tridge’s ability to absorb bad tastes is approaching its capacity. A new

multi-media cartridge should be Installed.

Do NOT use a ltration cartridge that is cracked or broken.

Do NOT use a ltration cartridge longer than the capacity stated in this manual.

Please contact your local dealer for replacement parts.
