Katadyn Pocket Water Filter for Backpacking, Group Camping & Emergency Preparedness

The Katadyn Pocket Microfilter has been the top choice for water filtration for emergency preparedness, professional use, and militaries around the world for over 30 years. It is engineered with the highest quality construction to withstand rugged conditions. The silver-impregnated ceramic filter element, with a pore size of 0.2 microns, can last an impressive 50,000 liters, depending on the water quality.

Water treatment products are in high demand among outdoor enthusiasts, international travelers, and relief agencies. Few are as reliable for long-lasting continuous use as the Katadyn Pocket water microfilter. It is made of heavy-duty materials and features a silver-impregnated ceramic element that effectively removes bacteria and protozoa, even in extreme conditions. Unlike disposable filters, the ceramic element can be cleaned multiple times, even in the field. Importantly, it filters out all microorganisms larger than 0.2 microns, ensuring clear, drinkable water anywhere in the world. The pump also includes an improved, round pump handle for better ergonomics and an outlet hose that easily attaches to water containers with a single clip.

The Pocket is part of Katadyn's Endurance series, a high-quality line of filters that can produce up to 100 times more water than standard filters. It is so durable that it is the first choice for extreme adventurers like Mike Horn. Additionally, it is the only water filter with a 20-year warranty. Other features include a measuring gauge that indicates when to change the filter element, a cushioned base for easy pumping on all surfaces, a prefilter, and a carrying bag.

Water filtration is crucial because the World Health Organization attributes 80 percent of all travel-related diseases to contaminated drinking water. Drinking water can contain viruses, bacteria, and protozoans that can cause various illnesses. Tap water, ice cubes, and even bottled water can be questionable when traveling. In the backcountry, pristine streams can quickly become contaminated due to rain and runoff carrying microorganisms from human and animal waste. Therefore, it is recommended to treat water from every source in the backcountry according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
