Survivor 06
(Model #8013418/#8013419)
Product Specifications
The Survivorꢀ06 is the smallest handꢀoperated watermaker worldwide, able to produce over 6 galꢀ
lons (~21 liters) of potable water per day from seawater.
A semipermeable membrane inside the unit acts as a molecular filter. When seawater is pressurꢀ
ized to 800 psi (~55 bar) by pumping the handle and forced against the membrane, only the water
molecules can pass through: salt molecules are unable to pass, and flow out of the system.
Technology:
Reverse Osmosis
Salt rejection:
98.4% on average (96.8% minimum). The desalination degree effect
depends on different influence factors such as pressure, throughput and
the quality of water.
Permeate Flow: 0.89 l/h +/ꢀ 15%
Weight:
1.13 kg (2.5 lbs)

Material:
12.7 x 20.3 x 6.4 cm (5” x 8” x 2.5”)

Pump: Stainless Steel, plastic
Membrane approved by the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration)
Operating Instructions
1. Pull the black intake strainer (and attached double hose) from its storage space inside the
handle. Lower the strainer into the seawater, making sure it will be fully submerged to keep air
from getting into the hose.
2. For now, position the (smaller) freshwater hose so water coming from it will also drain overꢀ
board.
3. Place one hand under the end cap and the other over the end of the handle as shown in
Figure 1ꢀ1.
4. Look for the cleanest water source possible. The dirtier the water, the shorter the life of the unit.
5. Pump the handle up and down (as far as it will go in each direction) at a comfortable speed –
about 40 strokes per minute. If water is not drawn in, prime the pump by pumping the handle
rapidly while you hold the unit near or below the water line. Once the seawater is circulating
through the unit, slow to 40 strokes per minute.
6. Once water drips from the freshwater hose, pump at least 80 strokes (two minutes) while pumpꢀ
ing the water overboard. This will clear the system of biocide solution and salt that passes
through the membrane when not in use. Then insert the freshwater hose into the storage conꢀ
tainer, or directly into your mouth.
7. Continue pumping until you get the desired amount of water.

Storage (7 days or longer)
The Survivorꢀ06 is shipped from the factory with a biocide solution inside, to prevent the growth
of bacteria. After the unit has been operated and before it is stored again, it should be flushed with
biocide as outlined below.
IMPORTANT: Never let the membrane dry out. Be sure to follow these storage instructions.
1. Turn the unit upside down, with the intake strainer out of the water.
2. Fill a suitable container with about a quart (approximate 1 liter) of clean water. Freshwater is
preferable, but clean seawater can be used if freshwater is not available.
3. Mix one spoonful (10 grams) of the biocide with water until dissolved.
4. Place the intake strainer into the biocide solution, and pump until water starts flowing out of the
reject hose (indicating that the membrane housing is filled). Stop pumping immediately after
water begins to flow from the reject hose.
5. If seawater was used to mix the biocide solution, repeat the above procedure with freshwater
as soon as it is available.
6. Rinse any biocide solution off the outside of the unit. Allow the unit to dry completely before
storing.
IMPORTANT: For your safety, we require that the above procedure be completed once a year
(storage temperature < 25°C/77°F). Please be aware to use only biocides supplied by Katadyn
for your product. Other products like chlorineꢀbased products will damage your membrane.
