Katadyn TRK Drip Filter with Gravidyn Element

The Katadyn TRK Drip Filter with Gravidyn Element will treat more water than any filter we know of (before cartridges need to be replaced). The Katadyn TRK Drip Filter with Gravidyn Element is a gravity fed filter which requires no pumping, hookup, or electricity. Fill the upper compartment with up to 2.5 gallons of untreated water, and it literally drips through the 0.2 micron ceramic filter elements into the bottom compartment. Simply set it on a counter in the corner and keep it filled. The Katadyn Drip water filter is the way to go for cabins, base camps, recreation sites, boats or RV's. The Katadyn TRK Drip filter comes with three Gravidyn filter elements (it uses all 3) which will treat up to an incredible 39,000 gallons of water. The Gravidyn elements have carbon inside them which eliminates odors and chemicals in water.

Bottom Line: The Katadyn TRK Drip Filter with Gravidyn Element is a perfect addition to any home or cabin where water is questionable.

Gravidyne filter

By: trailsoles
May 26, 2007

We have a cistern for our house which meant we cold not drink draw water from the faucet to drink. We were buying between 8-11 gallons of drinking water per week at a cost of .70-.80 cents per gallon. We searched for alternatives and choose to filter the water from the cistern with the Gravidyne. With a filter life of 39,000 gallons and the initial cost of the filter, we figure the cost per gallon is less than 1 cent and the water taste great.How can you beat that. We are very happy, just fill and walk away. I highly recommend. I can't imagine its value in a emergency.

Excellent filter

By: Cadenza
November 28, 2006

I purchased the TRK Drip Filter (Gravidyn) as a gift for a relative (for home use) in southeast Asia whose water supply is from a well. The criteria were: ceramic element, compact, plastic or synthetic housing. As I've used Katadyn Combi Filter for backpacking and occasionally at home for 6 years, Katadyn was high on my list. IMO, ceramic elements give the best filtration. The initial cost is high but their value is realized through durability and long life. This unit has been in service since January '06, filtering ~10L/day or a total of ~3,300L (864 gallons) so far. The Activated Carbon (A/C) portion of the filter is effective for 6 months but the ceramic is good for 39,000 gallons (~148,980L). What I like most about this filter: fast flow rate (3 elements), impregnated silver-oxide prevents fungus/mildew growing on the element.
