Intake Prefilter
The modular prefilter (Figure 2-1) works in still and running water. It consists of two com-
ponents: a strainer and a weight.
Note: Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the strainer barb to ease assembly.
The prefilter is important because it prevents large particles (larger than 130 microns) from
entering the water system. See Field Performance Tips for helpful hints.
Hydration Bladder Compatible
Your Katadyn Vario allows easy filling of many hydration bladders such as Nalgene,
Camelbak, etc. Turn the bottom cap until the outlet appears in the opening of the housing.
The outlet port in the bottom cap is designed to fit hydration pack bladder drink tubes.
Remove bite valve from drink tube and insert tube into bottom cap (Figure 1-1, Picture C).
Product Set-up
The Vario requires minimal set up. For best results, try the Vario before first field use to
familiarize yourself with its operation.
1) Filter Modes
The Vario is the first filter with 2 filter modes: LONGER LIFE and FASTER FLOW. With
LONGER LIFE (initial position) the water flows through the 1.0 micron ceramic prefilter
disc first before passing the glassfiber cartridge. If set to FASTER FLOW the water flows
directly to the cartridge. To extend cartridge life, we recommend using FASTER FLOW
only when water is clear.
