Explorer Pro Maintenance and Storage

Learn when to maintain and store the Katadyn Explorer Pro and how to care for its filter components and seals.

Maintenance after 200 liters

The maintenance routine shown for the Explorer Pro is recommended after every 200 liters of use. Regular servicing helps keep the filter ready for reliable operation and makes it easier to identify worn components before the next trip.

Clean the filter components

Clean the Explorer Pro components according to the current product instructions. Remove residue carefully and keep untreated water parts separate from treated water parts during the process. The Explorer Pro combines a cleanable ceramic filter, a virus membrane and an optional activated carbon stage.

Inspect and lubricate the seals

Inspect the seals for wear, damage or deformation. Lubricate them only with the product approved for the model and use the quantity specified in the instructions. Damaged seals can affect the system's tightness and should be replaced with the correct spare part.

Dry before storage

Allow all parts to dry correctly before storage. Protect the system from freezing, excessive heat, pressure and sharp objects. Before the next use, check the filter, seals, connections and virus membrane according to the relevant instructions.
