Key Components
Product Set-up
The Pocket requires minimal set up. or best results, try out the Pocket before first field use to famil-
iarize yourself with its operation.
1) Prefilter
The modular prefilter ( igure 2-1) is effective in still and running water. It consists of two
components: a strainer and a weight. The prefilter is important because it prevents large
particles (larger than 130 microns) from entering the water system. See ield Performance
Tips for helpful hints.
2) Connect Hoses
Push the hose float on to the input hose (hose with prefilter). Position the float approx. 2 inch-
es from prefilter. Attach the input hose to the input barb on the pump base. Push the bottle
clip on to the output hose. Attach the output hose to the output barb. ( igures 1-1, 2-1, 2-2)
3) Flush System
Important: Before first use, flush system by pumping approximately 0.5 litres of water
through the unit to remove harmless ceramic dust. 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 bottom
and away from sediment.
2) Attach the bottle clip on the output hose on to a clean water container*. ( igure 2-3)

3) Hold the filter upright and begin pumping the handle in a slow, steady manner. Make sure
the input hose is not kinked.
4) After filling water container with filtered water, remove bottle clip from container and input
hose from water source. Continue pumping to remove remaining water from pump body.
5) Store the unit in the carry bag. To prevent the possibility of cross contamination remove the
output hose with the clip and store separately in the re-sealable bag inside the carry bag.
*Note: Before each use, pump and discard a small amount (0.2 litres) of water to remove stale taste.
Field Performance ips
he Katadyn Pocket is designed to remove bacteria and protozoan cysts such
as Legionella, Giardia and Cryptosporidium. To extend ceramic life, always use the best
water source available. Keep the input prefilter clean and off the bottom. In heavy sediment con-
ditions, wrap a coffee filter or bandanna around the input prefilter. Where possible, place untreat-
ed water in container and wait for sediment to settle out until water appears clear - then filter from
water above the sediment.
Maintain your Katadyn water system to keep it operating smoothly.
1) If handle is hard to push:
Clogged filter pores. If the filter pores of the ceramic are clogged, the ceramic needs
to be cleaned. Never use force when pumping. Unscrew the pump base counter- clockwise
from the lower end of the filter housing and remove the plastic sleeve by pulling it down-
wards. Clean the ceramic element by brushing it with the supplied cleaning pad until the
light, originally color appears again. Be careful not to have unfiltered water touching the
filter output. Push the plastic sleeve over the ceramic element. Apply a drop of silicone
lubricant on the thread of the pump base. Tighten the pump base clockwise.
2) Lubricate pump handle o-ring. Silicone Silicone lubricant is provided with your new
unit. Unscrew the handle collar on the upper part of the filter element counter clockwise and
remove the pump handle. ( igure 1-1) Clean excess build-up from black rubber o-ring on
bottom of handle. Place a small amount of silicone lubricant on the thread of the filter
element. Re-assemble.
3) If unit pumps easily, but no water flow:
Make sure prefilter is submerged.
Make sure that input hose is not blocked or pinched.
Hold the filter vertically until water flows.
4) Prefilter: Rinse the prefilter in water to remove any particles that may be caught in the
strainer.
5) Storage: Your Katadyn water system comes with a carry bag for storage. To prevent the
possibility of cross contamination remove the output hose with the bottle clip and store
separately in the re-sealable bag inside the carry bag.

Long- erm Storage (After Your rip Is Over)
Store the Pocket filter as follows:
1) Unscrew the pump base and clean the ceramic element by brushing with the supplied cleaning
pad. Allow to air-dry completely.
2) Rinse the black plastic sleeve and remove any dirt.
3) Lubricate the o-rings and the threads of the filter element and the pump base.
4) Re-assemble the filter.
5) Wrap input hose around body and store Pocket inside the carry bag.
Note: When removing unit from long-term storage, flush the system with one litre of water to
remove any stale tasting water.
Ceramic Capacity
Ceramic capacity depends on water quality. The dirtier the water the more often you will have to
clean the element. This reduces the capacity of approx. 13’000 gallons (50’000 litres). If the gap
of the measuring gauge fits over the ceramic it is time to replace the filter ( igure 2-3). Inspect the
ceramic for cracks after cleaning, if you dropped the filter or if you had freezing temperatures. If
the filter shows cracks it will no longer protect you from microorganisms.
Ceramic Installation
Replacement filter elements are available from the dealer where you purchased your Katadyn
Pocket.
1) Unscrew the pump base counter clockwise from the lower end of the filter housing and remove
the plastic sleeve by pulling it downwards.
2) Unscrew the handle collar on the upper part of the ceramic element counterclockwise and
remove the pump handle. Lubricate o-ring.
3) Remove new ceramic element from packaging
4) Insert pump handle into the new ceramic element and tighten the handle collar clockwise.
5) Push the plastic sleeve over the new ceramic element. Apply a drop of silicone lubricant to
the thread of the pump base. Tighten the pump base to the housing clockwise.
6) lush ceramic element by pumping and discarding the first litre.
