ations. Please before operating the Survivor, take the short time needed to read this Manual.

• void sucking in oil, gasoline, or other petroleum-based products – they will quickly destroy
the membrane.
• void drawing water from a confined source. s the salt concentration increases, the unit
will become harder to pump.
• Do not adjust the relief valve. This valve is preset in the factory. djusting this valve can dam-
age the pump and void your warranty.
• It is normal to detect a slight taste in the fresh water. However, do not drink water with a strong
salt flavor.
• The strainer may eventually clog and need rinsing. If the unit is hard to pump, either the strain-
er is clogged or the water is unusually cold or salty.
• During prolonged emergency use, pump the unit for at least 10 minutes each day to keep sea-
water from stagnating inside the unit.
• If the unit will not be used again for several days, remove any accessible seawater from it. To
do so, remove the intake strainer and hose from the feed water. Turn the unit upside down, and
pump the handle up and down normally until water stops coming out.
• fter the unit has been used, flush the membrane with membrane preservative before storing it
again. This will prevent the growth of bacteria inside the unit. Refer to "Storage" below.
• If the feedwater has an high bacteria content, use membrane preservative daily.
• Store the membrane preservative in a dry, ventilated area.

regional service centers are trained to perform all necessary quality checks or you can return
the unit to Katadyn for inspection.
