Key Components - Katadyn MyBottle Mode D'emploi

English
Thank you for choosing the Katadyn
MyBottle Personal Water Purification System
Katadyn MyBottle personal water purification systems eliminate the need to carry or locate safe
drinking water, whether you are hiking, traveling or in an emergency situation. Only Katadyn
MyBottle personal water bottle purifiers place the advanced technology of a microbial purification
cartridge into a standard water bottle. The result is a personal hydration system that provides
antimicrobial protection against cysts, bacteria and viruses.
When To Use
Katadyn MyBottle personal water bottle purifiers are designed for use with untreated fresh water
sources, such as lakes, rivers and streams. They also provide protection against waterborne
pathogens that may still be present in the tap water of many foreign countries. The MyBottle is also
effective in emergencies, such as floods, hurricanes and earthquakes, or any time service from a
municipal water treatment plant fails.
Katadyn MyBottle personal water bottle purifiers provide a convenient alternative to pump-style
water purifiers. Because they are designed for personal use, MyBottle systems are not suitable for
situations when large volumes of water must be treated.
How They Work
Katadyn MyBottle personal water purification systems utilize a multi-stage, modular system. At the
heart of the system is the ViruStat® microbial purification cartridge. The ViruStat® uses iodide resin
to kill 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria, including Klebsiella terrigena, and 99.99% of viruses,
such as Poliovirus type 1 and Rotavirus Strain SA-11. The ViruStat® employs a patented ion-release
technology that dramatically reduces residual iodine, and a special layer of coconut-carbon that
further minimizes any residue. The ViruStat® cartridge is preceded by a replaceable 1-micron filter
that removes 99.9% of pathogenic cysts, such as Giardia. A Carbon Postfilter is installed after the
ViruStat® to remove organic contaminants and bad taste.
Please carefully read the following instructions for maximum performance of your Katadyn MyBottle
personal water purification system. Failure to follow the instructions found in this manual may result
in unsafe drinking water.
