Drinking water contains three groups of pathogenic microorganisms: viruses, such as hepatitis A, Norwalk virus, or poliovirus; bacteria, like e-coli, salmonella, and cholera; and protozoans, such as giardia and cryptosporidium. Tap water and ice cubes are usually the culprits when traveling, but even bottled water can be questionable. The backcountry is also a source of waterborne illness. A pristine stream may be safe one day and contaminated the next, as microorganisms stemming from human and animal waste are typically spread by rain and runoff. As a result, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends treating water from every source in the back country.

Paste link into a browser window: Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Filter cleaning and maintenance: If your Katadyn Hiker Pro water filter becomes difficult to pump, clean the Filter Protector. To clean, carefully remove the netting and Filter Protector from cartridge. Place Filter Protector on flat surface and clean with damp sponge or fabric. Rinse with water and reinstall. It is also recommended to clean the filter cartridge by holding it by the top and swishing it in water. This will remove most particles that may have collected on the filter surface. 1) If handle is hard to push: Lubricate pump handle o-ring. Silicone lubricant is provided with your new unit. Remove handle collar and handle. Clean excess build-up from black rubber o-ring on bottom of handle. Place a small amount of silicone lubricant all the way around the o-ring. Re-assemble. Clogged cartridge: A clogged cartridge requires replacement. As a temporary solution in the field, remove the cartridge and swish it around in water. Take care that fresh water does not contact the cartridge output barb. If flow is not restored, replace cartridge. 2) If unit pumps easily, but no water flow: Make sure prefilter is submerged. Make sure that hoses are not blocked or pinched. Clean check valve. Occasionally, sediment may enter pump body and prevent check valve from operating properly. This may cause lack of water draw. The check valve can easily be cleaned to restore maximum water output. Remove the cartridge. Fill the pump housing half way with water, swirl around and discard water. Fill the housing half way with water again and reinstall cartridge. Pump slowly to get water started and resume normal pump rate when flow has begun. 3) Clean Prefilter: Rinse the prefilter in water to remove any particles that may be caught in the strainer. For a more thorough cleaning, remove the prefilter from the input hose and clean with water and a soft brush. Reassemble. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the strainer barb to ease assembly. For use without the weight. The prefilter is functional with or without the weight (we recommend 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 Hiker Pro water filter system comes with a carry bag for storage. To prevent the possibility of cross contamination, remove the output hose and EasyFill TM Bottle Adapter and store separately in a resealable bag inside the carry bag.
