Product Set-up
The Drip requires minimal set up. For best results, try out the Drip before first
field use to familiarize yourself with its operation.
1. Rinse both plastic containers with clean water.
2. Install Katadyn filter elements and, rubber gaskets on the unfiltered water
side and wing nuts on the clean water side. Wing nuts should be
threaded by hand, do not over tighten.
3. Install outlet tap: Place a gasket both inside and outside of the container,
tighten nut.
4. When using the Drip for the first time, discard four litres/one gallon of
water to flush harmless ceramic dust from manufacturing (Ceradyn and
Gravidyn) and activated carbon dust from transportation (Gravidyn).
5. To speed up the water flow, wet the filter elements in the upper plastic
container. While doing so, pay attention to keep the filter outlet dry.
6. Your Drip is now ready for operation.
Maintenance
If the filtered water flow lessens, clean the ceramic filters with the cleaning pad
supplied. Do not use soap or detergents.
Check the minimum diameter after cleaning. If the measuring gauge is able to
slide over the ceramic element at any point, without being forced, replace the
element. Use original Katadyn ceramic elements only. After installation of new
filter elements, discard the first four litres (1 gallon) of water. See point 4 of
Product Set-up.
