The Millbank bag is used to pre-filter water from lakes, streams, ponds and otheer water sources which have particulate matter such as mud, silt or any floating debris which the canvas material in the Millbank bag will catch and hold. This will extend the life of any kind of filter device that you use to purify your water.

     To use the Millbank Bag, just place the bag in your water source and then squeeze and twist the bag for a minuet. Now you want to let the bag soak for about 10 minuets, this lets the fibers become totally wet and porus. This is VERY important so the water will be able to leach through the fibers of the canvas material. Pull the bag through  the water until full. Now hang it from something like a tree limb. Let the water run out for a minuet or two which will make sure the water on the outside of the bag has ran off. Now put your pot or bucket under the bag to catch your pre filtered water. If the water slows way down to  a slow drip or stops, rub the tip of the bag to losen the sediment and it will start running again. After the bag has emptied, put your hand all the way in the bag and turn it inside out to rinse any sediment out of the bag until clean. Hang to dry so it will be ready to use again.

    CAUTION... The Millbank bag does not filter out bacteria, parasites, chemicals or pesticides. This bag is a pre filter to filter out larger particulates and give more life to the filter system that you use to purify your water.
