For nearly 30 years, this filter has held the reputation of being the finest available for extreme conditions on treks, expeditions, world travel and disaster relief. It is exceptional for heavy use on unsure water sources with dangerous pathogens and will remove all bacteria and protozoa (including giardia and cryptosporidium).
Unlike other pocket filters, KATADYN® pocket filters work equally well with turbid water heavily laden with silt or algae and will clarify the water as well as disinfecting it.
The KATADYN® pocket filter has a built in pump to develop the pressure needed for rapid filtration. with little effort you can produce 3/4 liter(quart) per minute of safe drinking water.
The pocket filter is compact-only 250mm(10")long and 50mm(2")in diameter-about the size of a two-cell flashlight.Weights only 650 grams(23oz.)or much less than a one liter(quart)canteen of water.
With proper care your pocket filter will last many many years without the need for consumable chemicals or disposable filter elements.
