When You Travel Abroad, Camp or Backpack…

…you run a risk of illness ranging from the inconvenience and discomfort of diarrhea to

more serious illnesses caused by protozoan cysts (i.e., Legionella, Giardia, Cryptospori-

dium), viruses and bacteria.

The microorganisms that cause these diseases are often found in the food and water you

consume. Lakes, streams and the local water supply may be contaminated. 

To minimize the risk of contracting these illnesses, we suggest that you consult with your

physician, state health department or travelers' clinic 4-6 weeks before you depart. 

And while you are traveling…

Make sure that prepared food is thoroughly cooked.

• 

Select non-cooked foods (fruits, nuts, etc.) that have intact shells or skins, and

clean your hands before peeling the food.

Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly and often, especially 

before you eat. Filter all drinking water with your Katadyn Pocket Water

Microfilter. 

The Katadyn Pocket Microfilter is an essential piece of outdoor equipment. For questions or

suggestions, please contact us.

Long-Term Storage (After Your Trip is Over)

Store the Pocket filter as follows:

1)    

Unscrew the pump base and clean the ceramic element by brushing with the supplied 

cleaning pad. Allow to air-dry completely.

2) 

Rinse the blue plastic sleeve and remove any dirt. 

3) 

Lubricate the o-rings and the threads of the filter element and the pump base.

4) 

Re-assemble the filter.

5)    

Wrap input hose around body and store Pocket inside the carry bag.

Note: When removing unit from long-term storage, flush the system with one liter 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. 13'000 gallons 

(50'000 liters). If the gap of the measuring gauge fits over the ceramic it is time to replace

the filterelement. (Figure 2-2) Inspect the ceramic for cracks after cleaning, if you dropped

the filter or if you had freezing temperatures. If the filterelement shows cracks it will no

longer protect you from microorganisms and must be replaced.

Ceramic Installation

Replacement filter elements are available from the dealer where you purchased your

Katadyn Pocket.

1)

Unscrew the pump base counter clockwise from the lower end of the filter housing

and remove the plastic sleeve by pulling it downwards. 

2)

Unscrew the handle collar on the upper part of the ceramic element counter-  

colckwise and remove the pump handle. Lubricate o-ring.

3)

Remove new ceramic element from packaging. 

4)

Insert pump handle into the new ceramic element and tighten the handle collar 

clockwise.

5)

Push the plastic sleeve over the new ceramic element. Apply a drop of silicone

lubricant to the thread of the pump base. Tighten the pump base to the housing 

clockwise.
