1. How HYP/Fjärran Oasis Works
Thank you for choosing HYP/Fjärran Oasis. This product removes and lowers the levels of viruses,
bacteria, and protozoan cysts, and reduces particulates, chemicals, and heavy metals, which are often found in untreated freshwater sources, and
makes the water safer to drink, but that requires it to be used correctly as
instructions in this manual.
Our electropositive media technology has been in site conditions for the removal and reduction of viruses, bacteria, and protozoa cysts including hepatitis A, Norovirus, Giardiasis, Cryptosporidium, E. Eoli, Cholera, Salmonella, Dysentery and more. Reduction of particulates, chemicalsl, and heavy metals such as sediments, chlorine, trace pharmaceuticals, and more.
- It is ideal for hiking, camping in nature and traveling in areas without access to clean drinking water.
- Definitions of water used in this manual
- Unpolluted freshwater = Unpolluted water (lakes, rivers, streams, etc.)
- Filtered fresh water = Drinking water
- Purified water = Purified tap water or chemically disinfected water or boiled water, disinfected water.
The technology used by Fjärran products demonstrated the ability to reduce greater than up to *99.999% percent of 0.025-micron particles.
The Fjärran technology used is independently lab-tested to meet or exceed the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Water Purifier standard for microbiological filtration for public health and safety.
*Based on test results under laboratory conditions.
**Always use the clearest and most reliable water source possible. Stated filtration performance and lifetime are conducted under laboratory conditions. The effectiveness may be limited by the environmental or hygienic conditions that could cause the recontamination of water after filtration.

– Never use the Fjärran Oasis™ to filter seawater, brackish water or chemically contaminated water, such as water from mine tailings ponds or
near large farms for your safety. Fjärran Oasis™ cannot make clean water from such
potable and only lowers the potential chemicals and does not remove radioactive materials.
– The lid of the Fjärran Oasis™ must be threaded on properly when filling to avoid
the risk of fluid leakage and illness. Only have the red nozzle (pipe) in contact with the water.
– Avoid putting the Fjärran Oasis™ lid under water when filling or using the Fjärran Oasis™.
Hold the Fjärran Oasis™ body or Lid Holder (top) when opening or closing the Fjärran Oasis™.
– Avoid placing the Fjärran Oasis™ lid including the Oasis Filter™ on the ground or in contact with a potentially contaminated surface to avoid harmful contaminants coming into contact with the Fjärran Oasis™ interior when opening/removing the lid from the container.
2.2
If you drop the Fjärran Oasis™ in untreated fresh water, you must clean and disinfect the Fjärran Oasis completely before
using it. Never use the Fjärran Oasis™ if it is damaged or
contaminated.

by unclean fresh water or unclean fresh water come in contact with the fitted cover and never allow others to use it
(NOTE: A disease can spread if you share the drinking container with others).
– To reduce the risk when filtering water, ensure that the lid is sufficiently closed (sealed) and that only the suction-nozzle™ is in contact with untreated water.

bacterial growth.
What should be the handling during long-term storage?
Before putting your Fjärran Oasis away post-adventure, thoroughly dry out the cartridge to prevent the growth of mildew and odors. Dry the cartridge by performing one-five ‘dry collapse’ by collapsing the Fjärran Oasis with the wet filter from full position to portable position with the pipe open without having any water in the container. Allow the Oasis Filter to air-dry thoroughly (depending on humidity it will take 2-4 days to completely dry). Hand wash all other parts with warm, soapy water. For long-term storage, reassemble the unit to create an airtight seal for storage. An Oasis Filter can last up to three years after opening if cared for properly between uses.
– Never disinfect the Oasis Filter™ or the beverage opening with
detergent or in a microwave oven. The high heat can damage or melt
the parts. The Lid Holder “without Oasis Filter™” and all parts can be placed in the top rack of a dishwasher.

3. Important safety information
Read this before using Fjärran Oasis™
When traveling abroad, camping or hiking, you may be at risk of
illnesses ranging from unpleasant and troublesome diarrhea to serious
diseases caused by protozoan cysts (e.g. Giardia, Cryptosporidium),
viruses and bacteria. or potential other harmful contaminations or pollutions.
Microorganisms that cause such diseases are often found in drinking water and in
the food you eat.
Lakes, rivers and streams and ordinary tap water may also contain contaminants.
To reduce the risk of contracting such diseases, we recommend that
consult your doctor, the National Board of Health or a tourist clinic 4-6 weeks before
departure.
And when you are traveling, make sure that all food you cook is thoroughly cooked
according to the cooking instructions. Make sure that all foods that do not require
cooking (e.g. fruit, nuts) have intact shells and always wash your hands with
hand sanitizer before peeling them. Wash your hands thoroughly and
frequently with soap and warm water (and use hand sanitizer), especially
before eating or cooking. And if you’re traveling in a group, encourage everyone to
wash your hands often. It’s enough for one member of the group not to wash their hands
for microorganisms to spread to shared equipment.
Do not share personal items (i.e. lip balm, cutlery, toothbrushes, water bottles, Fjärran Oasis™
or the mouthpieces of fluid bladders) with others. Ensure that all food is properly
prepared and fully cooked. Filter all drinking water with your Fjärran Oasis™
according to the instructions in this manual, including water that you
brush your teeth, wash your face or similar.
To higher your safety, you can use an EPA-approved disinfectant, such as purifying tablets or other alternatives, to be added to the clean water by the Fjärran Oasis™ (NOTE: Follow the disinfectant instructions and wait for the disinfectant to take effect) or boil the water (it must be boiled for at least one (1) minute).
