For use without the weight. The prefilter is functional with or without the weight (we rec-
ommend using with the weight). To use without the weight, remove the strainer barb from
the input hose. Re-assemble without the weight.
4. Storage: Your Katadyn water system comes with a carry bag for storage. To prevent the
possibility of cross contamination, remove the output hose and EasyFill Bottle Adaptor and
store separately in a re-sealable bag inside the carry bag.
LONG-TERM STORAGE (AFTER YOUR TRIP IS OVER)
Disinfect your microfilter before storage to prevent microbiological growth within the pump.
1. Fill a liter container with tap water and add 2 tablets of Micropur Forte DCCNa or
Micropur MP1. (Do not use Micropur Classic.)
2. Place prefilter into solution.
3. Pump entire amount of solution through unit (into sink or container).
4. Remove prefilter from the solution and continue pumping another 5 to 10 strokes to remove
remaining water from the pump body and hoses.
5. Remove cartridge and allow to dry.
6. Wrap hoses around body and store in carry bag.
Note: When removing unit from long-term storage, flush the system with one liter of water to
remove any stale tasting water.
CARTRIDGE CAPACITY
Cartridge capacity depends on water quality. The Katadyn Hiker Pro was tested at 750 liters
(without filter protector) and found effective for removal of bacteria (Klebsiella terrigena) and pro-
tozoan cysts (Giardia and Cryptosporidium). For maximum performance, cartridge should be
replaced after 750 liters or when the unit becomes hard to pump.
CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION
Replacement cartridges are available from the dealer where you purchased your Hiker Pro.
1. Remove output hose from cartridge output barb. Grasp the top of the Hiker Pro cartridge
and turn counter clockwise. If cartridge removal is not possible by hand, the handle shaft
will function as a cartridge removal tool:
Remove the handle collar and handle. Locate one of the deep grooves on either side of the
handle shaft. Lay the handle across the filter top and insert two of the “fins” on top of the
filter into one of the groves of the handle shaft. Hold the handle shaft in place firmly with
the palm of your hand. Using the handle shaft for leverage, apply even pressure and grad-
ually turn the cartridge counter clockwise. Use caution so that handle shaft does not slip and
cause damage. Discard used cartridge in trash receptacle.
2. Rinse inside of housing by swishing with clear water (non-filtered water is ok). Discard water.
Wipe inside of housing and housing threads with soft cloth to remove sediment.
3. Remove new cartridge from packaging.
4. Insert new cartridge into housing and tighten clockwise. Note - Apply silicone lubricant to
cartridge o-ring before re-assembly to ease cartridge removal in the future.
5. Re-attach output hose to cartridge output barb. (Figure 1-1)
6. Flush cartridge by pumping and discarding the first liter.
