Katadyn Hiker Pro Replacement Cartridge

The Katadyn Hiker Pro Replacement Cartridge replaces old, scummy cartridges from your Katadyn Hiker or Hiker Pro microfilter. The Hiker Pro Cartridge uses the same awesome microfilter element, but wraps it in a protective membrance that makes it a snap to service in the field. Clogs will be less common and easier to fix if they do. When you're out in the wilderness, you just need the water, not the nasty things living in it.

Bottom Line: Please don't eat the bugs.

This looks like the replacement catridge for my PUR water purifyer. Will it work with the PUR?

Yes! Katadyn bought the outdoor water-filter division of PUR from Proctor & Gamble. My slogan is: if it looks like a Hiker or Hiker Pro---it takes the Hiker Pro Cartridge. Please bear in mind there are PUR filters that don't look like the Hiker.

My Katadyn replacement cartridge fits a little tight in my Pur filter housing. I called Katadyn & explained the situation & they didn't have a clue except for the fact that it was a seamless transition between mfg's. This was after I used the O-Ring lubricant. It just isn't as easy to remove the Katadyn cartridge as it was with the Pur.

I bought two Katadyn Hiker Pro's with two replacement cartridges, for a total of 800 (advertised) gallons of emergency water in case we find ourselves in one of those disasters resulting in a local water shortage. Hopefully I will never get to try them out, but I feel much better knowing I've got a plan, more or less...

Clean Water Protection

This is one long-lasting cartridge but it does have to be replaced every once in awhile. The best way I determine replacement is the difference in color. Labored pumping doesn't occur until later. Works great until the very end. Dry out as good as possible & store in a plastic bag in the freezer when not being used for long periods of time.

I have been using the hiker system for four years. Works great for upper desert hiking conditions. Filter is easy to replace and the water tastes great.

Great for Backpacking in the Backcountry

I work for a YMCA Camp and this is the product used to take 10+ kids into the backcountry and depend on for water/survival. It is a great product and serves up the best mountain fresh water I have ever tasted. I have just purchased one for myself and friend! Can't wait for another trip to taste the best water ever!

Hiker Pro Cartridge

Great cartridge, Katadyn has definitely improved their design. The cleanable screen and integrated charcoal filter are great additions. They take an already top-notch filter and up the ante. For those of us who just can't trade our heavy filters with bad-tasting tablets, this is our filter.
