KATADYN VARIO - The Intelligent Microfilter

TIPS AND TRICKS

With the following tips and tricks you can prevent damages to your Vario

microfilter and help to prolong its lifespan.

1) Water leaks or sprays from around the pistons when pumping:

Check the o-rings on the pistons (2 o-rings per piston). Clean o-

rings and pistons with a soft cloth. The o-rings should not be brittle

or damaged and need to be kept lubricated at all times. Apply

additional silicone grease generously, as needed. Replace any o-

rings that are damaged or worn, making sure you lubricate the

new o-rings before putting them on the pistons. Be careful that the

o-rings do not get pinched when you reassemble the filter.

2) Vario filter does not draw water:

Unscrew your Vario, remove the ceramic prefilter disc from the fil-

ter housing and clean the prefilter with the cleaning pad that was

packaged with your filter. Put the cleaned ceramic prefilter disc

back onto the filter housing in LONGER LIFE or FASTER FLOW set-

ting. Holding the pumphead in your hand, immerse the input hose

in water and pump the unit (still without the filter housing) a cou-

ple of times until it draws water. If it does not draw water, turn the

pumphead upside down, fill the inside partially with water, and

pump a few times to “prime” the pump, making sure that the input

hose is still immersed in the water. As soon as your Vario draws

water again, reassemble it and continue pumping normally.

If it still does not draw water, check the o-rings on both pistons (2

o-rings per piston). The o-rings should not be brittle or damaged

and need to be lubricated at all times (see point 1).

3) Pumping becomes increasingly difficult and water output

decreases:

Unscrew your Vario and remove the ceramic prefilter disc from

the filter housing. Scrub off any dirt particles from the prefilter

with the cleaning pad that was packaged with the Vario. Put the

cleaned ceramic prefilter disc back onto the filter housing in

LONGER LIFE mode and reassemble the filter. If the pumping is

not easier, turn to FASTER FLOW and reassemble. If pumping is

easier, the ceramic prefilter disc needs to be srubbed deeper or it

should be replaced. If the pumping is not easier in FASTER FLOW,

the pleated filter is clogged and needs to be replaced.

4) Vario is leaking at seam between pumphead and filter housing:

Unscrew your Vario. Remove the ceramic prefilter disc and scrub with cleaning pad. Carefully remove the o-

ring at the upper end of the filter housing, lubricate it with a small amount of silicone lubricant and put it back

to the filter housing. Reassemble the filter and start pumping.

5) Note: Axle pin in the pumphead:

Before you start pumping, make sure that the axle pin is in the correct position and not loose. Especially after

cleaning the o-rings on the pistons, you should ensure that the axle pin is tightly fixed again. You can use a

coin to turn the axle pin back into the correct locked position.

6) Note: red cover for activated carbon core:

The activated carbon inside the filter cartridge needs to be covered with the green

foam and the red plastic lid. Do not insert the red cover too far, but stop when the up-

per edge of the lid is flush with the upper edge of the filter cartridge (see pictures).

Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the o-ring on the red cover before put-

ting it back.
