Katadyn Pocket Water Microfilter

Item #EXT0005 | 48 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Very solid

By Ranked #367 - Water Treatment July 24, 2003

The Katadyn Pocket filter is very solid and I'm confident it will give me
years of good use (probably a lifetime). After about 50 liters it became
quite hard to pump, even though the water seemed pretty low in sediment.
This was a noticeably sooner than other filters I've used (especially the
far-cheaper PUR Hiker). Also, the filter does not appear to have all the
parts described in the directions (notably the cleaning brush --- only
brillo-type pads were included). I fear that the absence of the brush may
have led me to clean slightly more aggressively than is optimal, scratching
the ceramic element in a few places.
