2) Lubricate pump handle o-ring.
Silicone lubricant is provided with your new
unit. Unscrew the handle collar on the upper part of the filter element counter
clockwise and remove the whole pump handle. (Figure 1-1) Clean excess build-up
from black rubber o-ring on bottom of handle. Place a small amount of silicone
lubricant all the way around the o-ring. Re-assemble.
3) If unit pumps easily, but no water flow:
Make sure prefilter is submerged.
Make sure that input hose is not blocked or pinched.
Hold the filter vertically until water flows.
The membrane on the lid of the carbon cartidge could be clogged. Remove or clean
carbon cartidge (see below) to restore flow.
4) Carbon Cartidge:
Remove dirt particles on the lid of the cartidge by swirling it
around in water or by rinsing. For a mor thorough cleaning, gently brush with an old
toothbrush or the green cleaning pad provided.
Attention: Don’t use pressure, otherwise the membrane could tear.
5)
Prefilter:
Rinse the prefilter 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 silicone
lubricant to the strainer barb to ease assembly. (Figure 1-2)
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. Re-assemble without the weight.
6) Storage:
Your Katadyn water system comes with a carry bag for storage. To prevent
the possibility of cross contamination the input hose should not contact the outputbarb.
Long-Term Storage (After Your Trip is Over)
Store the Combi filter as follows:
1)
Remove and clean the ceramic element by brushing with the supplied cleaning pad.
Allow to air-dry completely.
2)
Rinse the plastic sleeve and remove any dirt.
3)
Lubricate the o-rings with silicone lubricant.
4)
Re-assemble the filter.
5)
Store Combi, hose and accessoires in the carry bag.
Note: When removing unit from long-term storage, flush the system with one liter of water to re-
move any stale tasting water.
