Maintain your Katadyn water system to keep it operating smoothly.
1) If handle is hard to push:
Lubricate o-rings of pistons. Silicone lubricant is provided with your new unit.
Remove axis from top cap by turning it 90° and pushing it out of its position. A coin
can be used to turn the axis. Detach the translucent top cap and put aside. Grasp the
pump handle and lift it upwards until the pistons come out of their position. Clean
excess build-up from black rubber o-rings on pistons. Place a small amount of silicone
lubricant all the way around the o-rings. Re-assemble. Note:
When reassembling,
carefully insert pistons, making sure to not pinch o-rings.
Clogged cartridge. A clogged cartridge requires replacement. As a temporary
solution in the field, remove the cartridge and swish it around in water. See Cartridge
Installation for cartridge removal. Take care that untreated water does not contact the
cartridge output barb. If flow is not restored, replace cartridge.
2) If unit pumps easily, but no water flows:
Make sure prefilter is submerged.
Make sure that hoses are not blocked or pinched.
Clean ceramic prefilter. Occasionally high pressure develops inside the pump
head and prevents the filter from operating properly. This can be easily eliminated by
removing the pump head and cleaing the ceramic prefilter with the cleaning pad pro-
vided. Pump slowly to get water started and resume normal pump rate when flow has
begun.
3) Intake Prefilter: Rinse the strainer in water to remove any particles that may be
caught in the strainer. For a more thorough cleaning, remove the prefilter from the input
hose and clean with water and a soft brush. Reassemble. Apply a small amount of sil-
icone lubricant to the strainer barb to ease assembly. (Figure 2-1)
For use without the weight. The prefilter is functional with or without the weight
(we recommend using with the weight). To use without the weight, remove the strainer
barb from the input hose. Reassemble without the weight.
4) Storage: Your Katadyn water system comes with a carry bag for storage. To prevent
the possibility of cross contamination, store the output hose with the clip separately in
the resealable bag inside the carry bag.
Long-Term Storage (After Your Trip is Over)
Disinfect your Vario microfilter before storage to prevent microbiological growth within the
pump. Do not use any alcoholic detergents, since it will damage the surface of the filter.
1) Fill a liter container with tap water and add 2 tablets of Micropur (if not available use
2 tablespoons of ordinary household bleach).
2) Place prefilter into solution.
3) Pump entire amount of solution through unit (into sink or container).
