Katadyn Hiker Water Microfilter

Item #EXT0006 | 81 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Taste Great, Less filling

By Ranked #192 - Water Treatment May 12, 2003

We used our Katadyn Hiker Water filter for the first time on an overnighter a few weeks ago. Due to recent rains, the water was somewhat murky, and we had our doubts how the water would taste. The pump is easy to use; we had four Nalgene bottles filled in about five minutes. I took the advice of others and wrapped a coffee filter around the intake to extend the filter life. The lake water really tasted great! Almost as good as bottled water from a store. Setup/takedown was very easy. I'm not sure how anyone could confuse the inlet/outlet; they are clearly marked.
