Product Set-up
The Drip requires minimal set up. For best results, try out the Drip before first
field use to familiarize yourself with its operation.
1. Rinse both plastic containers with clean water.
2. Install Katadyn filter elements and, rubber gaskets on the unfiltered water
side and wing nuts on the clean water side. Wing nuts should be
threaded by hand, do not over tighten.
3. Install outlet tap: Place a gasket both inside and outside of the container,
tighten nut.
4. When using the Drip for the first time, discard four litres/one gallon of
water to flush harmless ceramic dust from manufacturing (Ceradyn and
Gravidyn) and activated carbon dust from transportation (Gravidyn).
5. To speed up the water flow, wet the filter elements in the upper plastic
container. While doing so, pay attention to keep the filter outlet dry.
6. Your Drip is now ready for operation.
Maintenance
If the filtered water flow lessens, clean the ceramic filters with the cleaning pad
supplied. Do not use soap or detergents.
Check the minimum diameter after cleaning. If the measuring gauge is able to
slide over the ceramic element at any point, without being forced, replace the
element. Use original Katadyn ceramic elements only. After installation of new
filter elements, discard the first four litres (1 gallon) of water. See point 4 of
Product Set-up.

Katadyn Drip Gravidyn Element Replacement
The sticker provided can be used to remind you when the filters have to be
replaced. Just write on the sticker the month when the next replacement is due.
If used continually for 6 months, the carbon core of the Gravidyn elements may
become less effective at absorbing chemicals and taste. Katadyn suggests replacing the elements after 6 months of continuous use. If the measuring gauge is
able to slide over the ceramic element at any point, without being forced,
replace the element. Indepentend of the time used.
Katadyn Drip Ceradyn Element Replacement
Use the measuring gauge to check the diamter of your Ceradyn element. It can
be used as long as the gauge is unable to pass over the element at any point.
The service life of your Katadyn Ceradyn Element can be up to 150,000 L
(40,000 gallons), depending on the water quality.
Red emergency plug:
If you need to remove a ceramic element, use the red plug to close the hole. So
the Drip runs with only two filters. This allows you to use the Drip
without interruption until you have obtained a new filter. The plug is for
temporary use only.
For transportation, unscrew filter elements and pack them individually, to
prevent damage.
Safety instructions
If you will not be using your filter for an extended amount of time (longer than
2 days), let filter elements dry completely in the air.
- Clean the filter system (container and filter elements) at least once a month.
- Do not set up the Katadyn Drip filter in direct sunlight.
- If a ceramic element is cracked, replace it immediately.
