Katadyn Pocket Water Microfilter

Katadyn Pocket Water Microfilter description

The Katadyn Pocket Filter is a durable water filter with an aluminum shell. The ceramic element in the Katadyn Pocket Filter will treat up to 13,000 gallons. Compare that to most other water filters out there and you'll see why Katadyn is one of the most respected brands in the industry. This ceramic water filter offers 0.2 micron filtration and a flow rate of up to 1 liter per minute. At 20oz, the Katadyn Pocket Filter isn't the lightest filter in the world but it's still quite compact and its rugged aluminum shell means it'll go the long haul. This is why it's standard issue for international Red Cross field workers. The Katadyn Pocket Filter will remove all giardia, fungi, parasites, cholera, typhoid, cryptosporidia, salmonella and other harmful bacteria, parasites, and germs. This filter will last you a long time if you expect to be in places where supplies (i.e. replacement filters) are not readily available. INCLUDES: Pump, filter, input hose (40") with acorn pre-filter and float, output hose with spring clip to clip onto bottles, hydration pack adaptor, a Scotchbrite cleaning pad, a measuring gauge, silicone lubricant, fabric bag and plastic zip lock bag for output hose. Measures 10" x 2".

Bottom Line: Is that a filter in your pocket...?

I pumped water out of a canyon reservoir that didn't look so hot. My brother who was camping with me thought I was nuts. I had no problems, water tasted great, and it saved me from having to carry in all the water I would need for a three day hike.Invaluable.

I bought this filter last year and used it camping in the Porcupine Mountains in Michigan. I filtered water from the lake and it worked great. Although i would disagree that it pumps 1L a minute, it does do a sufficient job. The lake i was pumping from had a high iron content and i could definitely tell. I would recommend buying the Katadyn inline carbon filter to remove unwanted tastes.
