KATADYN VARIO
CONSUMABLE REPLACEMENT ELEMENTS
- ACTIVATED CARBON GRANULES (2-PACK, $9.95 Retail Value) REFILLS
- GLASSFIBRE FILTER REPLACEMENT ($34.95 Retail Value)
- CERAMIC DISC REPLACEMENT ($14.95 Retail Value)
Please NOTE: This listing is for a bundled set of Genuine Katadyn Replacement Parts (2-Pack of Activated Carbon Granules + Glassfibre Filter Element + Ceramic Filter Disc). The cutaway photo of the VARIO filter is included to illustrate the relative placement of each of the replacement parts. If you want to buy the VARIO Microfilter itself, please see our separate listing.
Your VARIO Microfilter is an excellent water filtration system. Keep it operating at peak efficiency by periodically replacing the various consumable components integrated into the unit.
-
Katadyn USA recommends replacing your Vario's Activated Carbon Granules about every six (6) months, or about every 50 gallons of use!
-
In practice, we find they can go to about 100 gallons, depending on your local water chemical.
-
Remember: carbon granules remove certain chemicals, minerals, tastes & odors; they do not make your water any safer, by themselves (at least in the short-term). However, they are crucial in making your filtered taste/smell better!!
-
Your Glassfibre Filter Element should be replaced about every 500 gallons...more frequently if used with mostly dirty water, and/or if you do not clean it properly after every use!
-
Here in the Rockies, our VARIO filters last longer...perhaps 700 gallons...due to crystal clear water that we start with. The dirtier your water, the more you'll need to replace the Glassfibre filter. IF YOUR VARIO BECOMES HARD TO PUMP, you probably need a new filter!
-
You can field clean the filter and ceramic disc to improve water flow...but at some point, the filter will clog permanently and require replacement.
-
Far better to plan ahead for that, than to deal oioee
-
Your Vario's Ceramic Disc should be replaced based on condition...it will wear down from cleanings and should be replaced as required.
-
Consult your owner's manual for more information.
