LongTerm Storage (After Your Trip Is Over)
Store the Mini filter as follows:
1)
Remove ceramic filter and brush it under running water with the supplied cleaning pad.
Allow to airdry completely.
2)
Put ceramic filter back into housing.
3)
Grease orings with silicone lubricant provided.
4)
Stow input hose inside pump body and store Mini inside the carry bag.
Note: When removing unit from longterm storage, flush the system with one litre of water
to remove any stale tasting water.
Ceramic Capacity
Ceramic capacity depends on water quality. The dirtier the water the more often you will have to
clean the element. This reduces the capacity of approx. 2’000 gallons (7’000 litres). If the gap of
the measuring gauge fits over the ceramic it is time to replace the filter. (Figure 23) Inspect the
ceramic for cracks after cleaning, if you dropped the filter or if you had freezing temperatures. If the
filter shows cracks it will no longer protect you from microorganisms.
Ceramic Installation
Replacement filter elements are available from the dealer where you purchased your Katadyn Mini.
1)
Remove output hose from output barb. Remove the element by turning it counterclockwise
as far as it will go and lifting it from the housing.
2)
Remove new ceramic element from packaging.
3)
Insert new ceramic housing by holding output barb towards you and turning clockwise as far
as it will go while pushing down.
4)
Reattach output hose to output barb.
5)
Flush ceramic element by pumping and discarding the first litre.
