How to use

To replace the filter, ensure your hands are clean and the filtration system is dry. Open the housing of your Katadyn water filter according to the manufacturer's instructions and carefully remove the exhausted carbon cartridge. Insert the new activated carbon refill, ensuring it is seated correctly to prevent bypass. Once installed, reassemble the housing and flush the system with a small amount of water before initial consumption to remove any loose carbon dust.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, replace the activated carbon cartridges regularly based on the volume of water treated or if you notice a decline in taste quality. Always store unused refills in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the carbon media.
