FIELD PERFORMANCE TIPS The Katadyn Hiker Pro is designed to remove bacteria and protozoan cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. To extend cartridge life, always use the best water source available. Keep the intake prefilter clean and off the bottom. In heavy sediment conditions, wrap a coffee filter or ban- danna around the intake prefilter. - Page 5 To use without the weight, remove the strainer barb from the input hose. Re-assemble without the weight. 4. Storage: Your Katadyn water system comes with a carry bag for storage. To prevent the possibility of cross contamination, remove the output hose and EasyFill Bottle Adaptor and store separately in a re-sealable bag inside the carry bag.
