Closeout Camping Gear

I’ve tried (and broken) numerous different water filters. I consider myself very gentle with my equipment but lately I’ve broken my fair share of “plastic” filters. I won’t “name names” but these were name brand filters… I finally abandoned my quest for the uber-light and got a Pocket Filter. I could not be happier with my decision. The Pocket worked great, every time. My husband and I just finished a month-long trek in the high Sierra’s and never worried once about whether our water filter was going to work or not. While on the trail, we spoke with numerous other hikers who broke their “plastic” filters too and were resorting to purification pills as a back-up. We told them to get a Pocket. The Pocket was easy to use, easier to maintain and solid as a rock. Do not let the weight of this filter dissuade you – you will be glad to have this filter when it really counts.

Overview

The Katadyn Pocket Filter is a durable water filter with an aluminum shell. The ceramic element in the Katadyn Pocket Filter will treat up to 13,000 gallons. Compare that to most other water filters out there and you’ll see why Katadyn is one of the most respected brands in the industry. This ceramic water filter offers 0.2 micron filtration and a flow rate of up to 1 liter per minute. At 20oz, the Katadyn Pocket Filter isn’t the lightest filter in the world but it’s still quite compact and its rugged aluminum shell means it’ll go the long haul. This is why it’s standard issue for international Red Cross field workers. The Katadyn Pocket Filter will remove all giardia, fungi, parasites, cholera, typhoid, cryptosporidia, salmonella and other harmful bacteria, parasites, and germs. This filter will last you a long time if you expect to be in places where supplies (i.e. replacement filters) are not readily available. INCLUDES: Pump, filter, input hose (40″) with acorn pre-filter and floa
