Installation
- Rinse both plastic containers with clean water.
- Screw in Katadyn filter elements, rubber gaskets on the unfiltered water side and wing
nuts on the clean water side. Wing nuts must be screwed on by hand, do not overtighten.
- Install outlet tap: Place a gasket both inside and outside of the container, tighten nut.
- When using the DRIP the first time, discard four liters (one gallon) of water.
Your DRIP is now ready for operation.
Maintenance
- If the filtered water flow lessens, clean the ceramic filters with the cleaning pad supplied.
Use no 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, the filter has to be replaced.
- Use original Katadyn ceramic candles (elements) only. After installation of new filter
elements, discard the first four liters (one gallon) of water.
- Service Life Katadyn Drip Filter Ceramic/Carbon equipped with GRAVIDYN
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. Once used the GRAVIDYN
has to be replaced after 6 months. If the measuring gauge is able to slide over the ceramic,
it has to be replaced immediately regardless of the time used.
Service Life Katadyn Drip Filter Ceramic equipped with CERADYN
CERADYN can be used as long as the diameter remains in the tolerated range (measuring gauge)
or maximum up to 3 years.
- Red emergency plug: If a ceramic filter has to be exchanged use the
red plug to close the hole and have the DRIP running with two filters only.
This allows you to use the DRIP without interruption until you have obtained a new filter. Make sure
to use the plug only temporarily.
- For transportation, unscrew filter elements and pack them carefully one by one, to
prevent damage.
