4) Remove prefilter from the solution and continue pumping another 5 to 10 strokes to
remove remaining water from the pump body and hoses.
5) Remove and clean the ceramic prefilter by brushing with the supplied cleaning pad.
Allow to air-dry completely.
6) Remove cartridge and allow to dry.
7) Rinse the black plastic housing and remove any dirt.
8) Lubricate the o-rings with silicone lubricant provided.
9) Re-assemble the filter.
10) Wrap hoses around body and store in carry bag.
Note:
When removing unit from long-term storage, flush the system with one liter of water
to remove any stale tasting water.
Cartridge Capacity
Cartridge capacity depends on water quality. The Katadyn Vario was tested at 2’000 litres
and found effective for removal of bacteria (Klebsiella terrigena) and protozoan cysts
(Giardia and Cryptosporidium). To reach maximum cartridge life, always use the Vario fil-
ter in LONGER LIFE mode. The cartridge should be replaced after 2’000 litres or when the
output becomes too slow.
Cartridge Installation
Replacement cartridges are available where you purchased your Katadyn Vario.
1) Detach pump head from filter housing. Remove ceramic prefilter unit with cartridge
from housing by turning and lifting it, and detach ceramic prefilter unit from cartridge.
Discard used cartridge in trash receptacle. Note:
If removal of ceramic prefilter unit
and cartridge is difficult, detach bottom cap first and push on the outlet barb.
2) Rinse inside of Vario housing by swishing with clear water (non-filtered water is ok).
Discard water. Wipe inside of housing with soft cloth to remove sediment.
3) Remove new cartridge from packaging and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant
to cartridge o-ring set before attaching ceramic prefilter unit. Note:
A new cartridge is
already filled with activated carbon.
4) Before installing the new cartridge please lift the ceramic prefilter off the filter cartridge.
Now insert the new cartridge making sure the longest ridge in the filter housing is
aligned with the triangular gap in the cartridge. Now reinstall the ceramic prefilter and
reattach the pump head. (Picture E)
5) Choose FASTER FLOW or LONGER LIFE mode by turning the ceramic prefilter unit until
the white arrow points to your preferred setting. (Picture D)
Note:
To extend cartridge life, we recommend using the Vario in LONGER LIFE mode.
6) Reattach pump head with handle and close tight.
7) Screw bottom cap back on housing. To protect the inside from dirt, turn outlet hole until
covered.
8) Flush cartridge by pumping and discarding the first liter.
