[ ] 1. Unpack & inspect all parts
[ ] 2. Wash canopy & mesh
[ ] 3. Assemble inlet → filter → bladder
[ ] 4. Open fill valve & deploy canopy
[ ] 5. Collect rain (monitor flow)
[ ] 6. Close canopy & fill valve when done
[ ] 7. Dispense water (pump or gravity)
[ ] 8. Rinse & dry bladder after each use
[ ] 9. Log water volume & date
[ ]10. Schedule filter replacement (200 L / 12 mo)
| Method | How‑to | |--------|--------| | Manual Pump | Pull the pump handle upward, then push down to force water through the valve. Each full stroke yields ~0.5 L. | | Electric Pump (12 V) | Connect the battery pack or solar panel to the pump’s DC jack. Press the “ON” button; water will flow continuously until the bladder is empty or the switch is released. | | Gravity Feed | Place the bladder on a raised platform (≥1 m) and open the bottom valve. Water will trickle out at ~0.3 L/min—ideal for cooking or slowly filling containers. |
Always check the water’s clarity and smell before consumption. If anything looks off, run it through a secondary portable filter or boil for 3 min. romi rain megapack
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix | |---------|--------------|-----| | Very slow flow | Clogged filter or mesh | Flush the inlet hose, clean mesh, replace filter cartridge if pressure drop persists. | | Water tastes metallic / off‑odor | Exhausted activated‑carbon stage | Replace filter cartridge; consider a post‑filter (e.g., ceramic) for taste. | | Leaks at connections | O‑rings mis‑aligned or dried out | Re‑seat O‑rings, apply silicone grease, tighten connections (don’t overtighten). | | Pump not priming (air bubbles) | Air trapped in hose/bladder | Bleed the system: open the dispense valve, let water run until a steady stream appears. | | Bladder bulges or ruptures | Over‑pressurization (e.g., left canopy open after heavy rain) | Always close the canopy’s overflow valve; never exceed the 20 L rated fill line. | | Battery won’t charge | Corroded contacts or dead cells | Clean contacts with isopropyl alcohol; if voltage remains low, replace the battery pack. | | Method | How‑to | |--------|--------| | Manual
