Normal Operation
1)
Place input hose in untreated water source. Adjust the float to keep prefilter off the
bottom and away from sediment.
2)
Connect a PET-Bottle to the bottom of the Combi filter. Use the extra bottle adapter
included for compatibility with other bottles (e.g. Sigg, Nalgene)*. (Figure 2-2)
3)
Hold the filter vertically and begin pumping the handle in a slow, steady manner.
Make sure the input hose is not kinked.
4)
Unscrew water container after filling with filtered water and remove input hose from
water source. Continue pumping to remove remaining water from pump body.
5)
Store unit in the carry bag. To prevent the possibility of cross contamination, the input
hose should not contact the output barb.
*Note: Before each use, flush and discard a small amount (0.2 litres) of water to remove stale
taste.
Field Performance Tips
The Katadyn Combi is designed to remove bacteria and protozoan cysts
such as Legionella, Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
To extend ceramic life, al-
ways use the best water source available. Keep the input prefilter clean and off the bottom.
In heavy sediment conditions, wrap a coffee filter or bandanna around the input prefilter.
Where possible, place untreated water in container and wait for sediment to settle out until
water appears clear - then filter from water above the sediment.
Maintain your Katadyn water system to keep it operating smoothly.
1)
If handle is hard to push
Clogged filter pores.
If the filter pores of the ceramic are clogged, the ceramic
needs to be cleaned. Never use force when pumping. Remove ceramic
element by turning the filter base at lower end of housing counter clockwise one
quarter turn (the bottom end of the bottle adapter may be used to aid turning).
Clean the ceramic element by brushing it with the supplied cleaning pad until the light,
originally color appears again. Insert the ceramic element into the housing. Push and
turn the filter base clockwise one quarter turn.
Attention: The filter housing can be under pressure - unfiltered water can splash out
while taking out the ceramic element.
