Base Camp Water Microfilter

Thank you for choosing a Katadyn portable water microfiltration

system. The Katadyn Base Camp Microfilter meets industry

standards for reduction of bacteria (99.9999% Klebsiella terri-

gena) and protozoan cysts (99.9% Giardia and Cryptospori-

dium). It is designed to be filled with water and suspended so

that gravity does all the work. The Base Camp is ideal for group

camps and anytime large volumes of water need to be treated.

Product Set-up

The Base Camp requires minimal set up. For best results, try out the Base Camp before first

use and familiarize yourself with its operation.

2) Install Filter Cartridge

Press cartridge into external threaded opening of bag until the o-ring can no longer

be seen. This may require some effort. A small amount of silicon grease on the

cartridge o-ring will aid the insertion. Do not grasp the cartridge around the

pleated surface, since it may damage the filter.Attach threaded cap to the

external threads of the bag and turn clockwise to hold the cartridge firmly in place.

Attach output hose to cartridge output barb (Figure 2).

3) Flush System (Important!)

Before first use, flush system by running approximately 2 liters of water through the

unit to remove harmless carbon dust. Note: discolored water is normal when

flushing. See following section on Normal Operation on how to filter water.

Normal Operation

1) Make sure filter is properly attached to the bag.

2) Fill bag with water using separate container. If a separate container is not available, open

bag and fill directly from water source. Do not allow contaminated water to contact

outlet hose.

3) Close bag by folding ends (Figure 3). Dry bag and outlet hose with clean cloth.

(Figure 2)

4) Hang Base Camp in convenient location. For best flow, hang from highest

possible location (Figure 4).

5) Open hose valve to begin water flow. Close valve to stop flow. Ensure valve is in

open position while filtering.

Field Performance Tips

The Katadyn Base Camp is designed to remove bacteria and protozoan cysts

such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. To extend cartridge life, always use the

best water source available and use Filter Protector.

Maintain your Katadyn water system to keep it operating smoothly.

1) If Water Flow is Slow:

Clogged cartridge. A clogged cartridge requires replacement. As a temporary solution

in the field, turn the bag inside out to expose the filter cartridge and remove cleanable filter

protector. Clean filter protector. Next, swish cartridge in water to remove any sediment

build-up. If flow is not restored, replace cartridge with new Hiker PRO cartridge.

Long-Term Storage (After Your Trip is Over)

Disinfect your microfilter before storage to prevent microbiological growth within the cartridge.

1) Fill a liter container with tap water and add 2 tablets of Micropur Purification or

Micropur Forte (if not available use 2 tablespoons of ordinary household bleach).

2) Pour solution into Base Camp water bag.

3) Hang bag and allow the entire amount of solution to run through cartridge (into sink

or container).

4) Remove cartridge and filter protector.

5) Allow all components to air dry completely before storing.

Note: When removing unit from long-term storage, flush the system with 2 liters of water to

remove any stale tasting water.

Cartridge Capacity

Cartridge capacity depends on water quality. To extend cartridge life, use filter protector

and clean regularly. The Katadyn Base Camp was tested at 200 gallons and found

effective for removal of bacteria and protozoan cysts like Giardia and Cryptosporidium.

For maximum performance, cartridge should be replaced after 200 gallons (750 liters) or

when water flow has stopped.

is held by a tight friction fit - it is not threaded). This may require some effort.

Do not grasp the cartridge around the pleated surface, since it may damage the filter.

2) Rinse inside of water bag with clear water (non-filtered water is ok). Discard water.

Wipe inside of water bag with soft cloth to remove sediment.

3) Insert new cartridge into bag as described in Product Set-up step 2 (See Figure 2).

Replacement cartridges (use Hiker PRO Replacement Cartridge) are available from the

dealer where you purchased your Katadyn Base Camp.

When You Travel Abroad, Camp or Backpack…

…you run a risk of illness ranging from the inconvenience and discomfort of diarrhea to

more serious illnesses caused by protozoan cysts (i.e., Giardia, Cryptosporidium), viruses

and bacteria.

The microorganisms that cause these diseases are often found in the food and water you

consume. Lakes, streams and the local water supply may be contaminated.

To minimize the risk of contracting these illnesses, we suggest that you consult with your

physician, state health department or travelers’ clinic 4-6 weeks before you depart.

And while you are traveling…

•Make sure that prepared food is thoroughly cooked.

•Select non-cooked foods (fruits, nuts, etc.) that have intact shells or skins,

and clean your hands before peeling the food.

•Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly and often, especially

before you eat. Filter all drinking water with your Katadyn Base Camp Microfilter.

Caution: If there is any risk of viruses in the water, use an EPA registered disinfectant such

as Micropur Purification Tablets, or boil your water.
