3)
Hold the filter upright and begin pumping the handle in a slow, steady manner. Make sure
the input hose is not kinked.
4)
After filling water container with filtered water, remove bottle clip from container and input
hose from water source. Continue pumping to remove remaining water from pump body.
5)
Store the unit in the carry bag. To prevent the possibility of cross contamination remove the
output hose with the clip and store separately in the re-sealable bag inside the carry bag.
*Note: Before each use, pump and discard a small amount (0.2 litres) of water to remove stale taste.
Field Performance Tips
The Katadyn Pocket is designed to remove bacteria and protozoan cysts such
as Legionella, Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
To extend ceramic life, always use the best
water source available. Keep the input prefilter clean and off the bottom. In heavy sediment con-
ditions, wrap a coffee filter or bandanna around the input prefilter. Where possible, place untreat-
ed 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. Unscrew the pump base counter- clockwise
from the lower end of the filter housing and remove the plastic sleeve by pulling it down-
wards. Clean the ceramic element by brushing it with the supplied cleaning pad until the
light, originally color appears again. Be careful not to have unfiltered water touching the
filter output. Push the plastic sleeve over the ceramic element. Apply a drop of silicone
lubricant on the thread of the pump base. Tighten the pump base clockwise.
2)
Lubricate pump handle o-ring.
Silicone 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 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 on the thread of the filter
element. 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.
4)
Prefilter:
Rinse the prefilter in water to remove any particles that may be caught in the
strainer.
5)
Storage:
Your Katadyn water system comes with a carry bag for storage. To prevent the
possibility of cross contamination remove the output hose with the bottle clip and store
separately in the re-sealable bag inside the carry bag.
