Description of Katadyn Pocket Water Microfilter

Tough enough to handle heavily silted water, the Katadyn Pocket Microfilter has a cleanable ceramic filter element that filters down to 0.2 microns, removing all known disease-causing bacteria and protozoa from your drinking water without the use of chemicals. Designed with few moving parts and an easy-maintenance design, it's the water filter of choice for traveling professionals and those who can't afford the Giardia diet plan deep in the backcountry. New features include a round pump handle for comfortable use and a bottle clip on the outlet hose.
The robust 8013618 Pocket Microfilter is made of heavy duty materials, and is ideal for long-lasting continuous use--even under extreme circumstances. The silver impregnated ceramic element is effective against bacteria and protozoa, and will be able to produce up to 100 times more water than standard water filters. The Katadyn Pocket is the only water filter with a 20-year warranty.

Key Features:

  • Top-quality, durable materials offers unparalleled quality with a 20-year guarantee
  • Cleanable ceramic filter element provides not only for clear but also for very cloudy water
  • Can be used hundreds of times (not a disposable filter)
  • Long lasting and few movable parts--requires minimal maintenance
  • Improved hand ergonomics--even easier to pump
  • Measuring gauge supplied--indicates when the filter element should be changed

Ceramic filters have a micro porous structure with impregnated silver which delays the growth of bacteria. The pore-size of Katadyn ceramic filters is 0.2 micron (0.0002 mm). Bacteria range in size from 0.2 to 5 micron and, like protozoa (1 to 15 micron), are efficiently filtered out. Ceramic filters can be mechanically regenerated and the filter capacity is measurable.

Specifications:

  • Technology: 0.2 micron ceramic depth filter
  • Output: ca. 1 liters/minute
  • Cartridge Capacity: up to 50,000 liters (depending on water quality)
  • Weight: ca. 550 g
  • Size: 24 x 6 cm (9.8 x 2.4 inches)
  • Includes: Prefilter, bottle clip and carry bag

Why Treat Water?
