How to change the Post Filter (activated carbon granulate)
If you detect a "chemical" taste (iodine) or when changing the Virustat¨ cartrid-
ge, the Post Filter should also be changed.
1. Turn the lid clockwise and lift it off together with the filter elements.
2. Twist and pull the complete filter out of the lid (any turning direction)
3. Pull the Post Filter off the end of the Virustat‚ cartridge.
4. Twist and push the new Post Filter against the Virustat¨ cartridge (any turning
direction), making sure that the O-rings are seated correctly.
5. Push the complete filter against the lid (any turning direction). Follow the steps
under item 1 in "2) Important! How to get the Katadyn Bottle ready for first-
time use".
4) Disposal
The components of the Katadyn Bottle can be disposed together with the nor-
mal domestic waste.
5) Caution
The Virustat¨ cartridge contains iodine resin. Persons with iodine allergies, thy-
roid problems and pregnant women should consult their doctor before using the
bottle. The Post Filter absorbs iodine, but traces of iodine may be left in the
water. Note: iodine is a natural substance and important for the body in normal
doses. This is why it is added to table salt in most countries.
6) Active ingredients
46% iodine (bound to ion exchange resin)
7) Even a water filter needs a little care and attention
If the bottle is not used for three days or more, it must be cleaned and stored at
a dry place. If the bottle is not used for longer periods, allow the bottle to air-dry
out completely. Depending on temperature and air humidity, drying may last bet-
ween a few days and two weeks. Drying prevents the filter from accumulating
germs and forming pathogens.
Storage
Dismantle the filter stages. Pour out the water. Store the filter stages in a dry and
well ventilated place. The bottle (without filters) and the lid (mouthpiece in the
open position) can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Dry the bottle and store it (with
lid removed) next to the filter elements. It is best to store the components in an
open carton box to make sure that the parts including the instructions stay toget-
her.
Please note: Do not use soap when cleaning the Virustat‚ cartridge, the
Cyst Filter and the Post Filter. It is best to use the Katadyn Bottle only with
water filling. When using the bottle without filters for sweet drinks or other
soft drinks, tea, etc., the bottle must be cleaned thoroughly because resi-
dues may impair the performance of the filter. Do not expose to frost. For
further tips, see "FAQ" in the Internet.
