Helpful Tips for Traveling with Your BOROUX
Planning a trip and wondering how to manage hydration and water quality on the go? Traveling away from your beloved BOROUX? Or can't leave the house without it? Whether you’re flying internationally, embarking on a road trip, or visiting friends and family, a reliable water filter like BOROUX ensures you have access to filtered water wherever your travels take you.
Why Filtered Water is Important While Traveling
Traveling exposes you to water sources that may contain impurities or unfamiliar compounds. Even in hotels or resorts, the water quality might vary, potentially causing discomfort. A water filter helps provide consistent water quality, letting you stay hydrated without worry.
Managing Your BOROUX Water Filter While Traveling
Leaving Your BOROUX at Home
Short Trips (3-14 Days)
If you’re away for a short time, like a long weekend, follow these steps to ensure your BOROUX is ready for use upon your return:
- Empty your BOROUX and disassemble all components, including the filters.
- Lay the filters on a towel in a flat, safe location to dry evenly.
- Allow all other parts to dry completely.
- Re-prime the filters and reassemble the system when you return.
Long-Term Storage (Over 14 Days)
- Carefully empty and take apart your system, removing the filters (refer to specific filter instructions below). Clean all non-filter parts and allow them to dry completely. Once dry, store them in the original box or a safe place to avoid misplacing smaller components.
- Dry the black filters completely and store them in the original box or a similar container in a cool, dry place away from strong odors.
