To change the filter mode, detach pump head by turning and lifting the handle from
the filter housing. Hold the housing in one hand and turn the ceramic prefilter unit until
the white arrow points to the desired mode. Reattach pump head and close tight
(Picture D). 
Note: The ceramic prefilter can easily be cleaned by brushing with the supplied clean-
ing pad.

2) Connect Hoses

Remove the red plastic cap from the input barb; retain for storage.  Connect input hose
(with prefilter) to input barb in the middle of the pump head. To use with hydration
bladder, connect bladder drink tube to the outlet of the bottom cap. To use with output
hose, remove the bottom cap and attach the output hose to the output barb. Push the
bottle clip on to the output hose. (Figure 1-1, Pictures B, C)

3) Flush System

Important: Before first use, flush system by pumping approximately 1 liter of water
through the unit to remove harmless carbon dust. Slightly discolored water is normal
when flushing. See following section on Normal Operation on how to filter water.

Normal Operation

1)

Place input hose in untreated water source. Adjust the float to keep prefilter off the bot-
tom and away from sediment. 

2)

Remove the bottom cap and retain. Connect a Nalgene Bottle to the bottom of the Vario
filter or attach the output hose to the output barb. Alternatively connect hose of hydra-
tion bladder as described above *. (Pictures A, B, C)

3)

Make sure the hoses are not kinked. Pump the handle in a slow, steady manner.
Approximately 38 strokes per minute equals 1 liter of water in FASTER FLOW mode. 

4)

After filling water container with filtered water, unscrew bottle/remove outlet
hose/remove bladder drink tube and remove prefilter from water source. Continue
pumping to remove remaining water from pump body. If applicable, screw bottom cap
back on housing. To protect the inside from dirt, turn outlet hole until covered. in the
resealable bag inside the carry bag.

5)

Store unit in the carry bag. To prevent the possibility of cross contamination, store the
output hose with the clip separately in the resealable bag inside the carry bag.

*Note: Before each use, flush and discard a small amount (5 – 10 strokes) of water to
remove stale taste.

Field Performance Tips

The Katadyn Vario is designed to remove bacteria and protozoan cysts
such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. To extend cartridge life, always
use the best water source available. 

Keep the intake prefilter clean and off the bot-

tom. In heavy sediment conditions, wrap a coffee filter or bandanna around the intake pre-
filter. 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.
