Key Components - Katadyn MyBottle Mode D'emploi

English
Thank you for choosing the Katadyn
MyBottle Microfilter
The Katadyn MyBottle Microfilter eliminates the need to carry or locate safe water, whether you are
camping, hiking, paddling, fishing or anytime safe water is required. The Katadyn MyBottle Micro-
filter places the advanced technology of 0.3 micron pleated glassfiber filter media and granular
carbon into a standard water bottle. The result is a water bottle that meets industry standards for
reduction of bacteria (99.9999%) and cysts (99.9%) such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
When To Use
The Katadyn MyBottle Microfilter is designed for use with untreated fresh water sources, such as
lakes, rivers and streams. It also provides a convenient alternative to pump-style water filters.
Because it's designed for personal use, the MyBottle Microfilter is not suitable for situations when
large volumes of water must be treated.
How it works
The Katadyn MyBottle Microfilter water bottle utilizes a two stage, modular filtration system. The first
stage is a 0.3 micron pleated glassfiber media microfilter cartridge that removes bacteria, such as
Klebsiella terrigena and cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. The second stage carbon filter
reduces chemicals and unpleasant taste and odors.
Please read the following instructions carefully for maximum performance from your Katadyn
MyBottle Microfilter water bottle. Failure to follow the instructions found in this guide may result in
unsafe drinking water.

Important Notes
1. In order to be filtered, water must pass through the microfilter cartridge. The flow rate is slightly
slower than an ordinary sports water bottle in order to ensure microfiltration.
2. Squeeze and sip using continuous pressure. You will notice a 2-4 second pause after
squeezing, like using a long straw, before water flows.
3. Always hold bottle upright when drinking. Water will not pass through the cartridge if bottle is
upside down or at a steep angle.
