Hi, I just got one of these filters at a yard sale. It has some corrosion and the ball valves don't move. How does one disassemble this model Katadyn? The piston unscrews, but after that? Is it a matter of brute force? Moderate twisting has no effect.
Thanks.

Depending on how old your model is, the knurled top & base unscrews & the ceramic filter element pulls out through the sleeve. Try these steps: 1. Unscrew the pump base counter clockwise from the lower end of the filter housing and remove the plastic sleeve by pulling it downwards. 2. Unscrew the handle collar on the upper part of the ceramic element counterclockwise and remove the pump handle. Try disassembling the unit underwater. Remember to lubricate the o-ring when reassembling. I hope this helps.
