Katadyn Hiker Pro water filter

Currently the best-selling outdoor microfilter in the USA. The filter weighs 310g and is not big at all, so you can easily carry it on your expeditions. Thanks to the large filter area, however, it has a very decent performance. It reliably eliminates bacteria, cysts and deposits. The maintenance of the filter is very easy thanks to the washable protective net, which also prolongs the life of the fiberglass cartridge. In addition, the cartridge contains activated carbon, which improves the taste of the water and removes any odor. The installation of the hoses is easy and fast thanks to the quick couplings, in addition, the filter was innovated for the European market and got a suitable black from the original gray color.

Tips for use

• The filter is made of plastic, it will serve you very well, but it needs you to maintain a reasonable degree of care when handling. This does not mean that he can bear little, yet purely rude treatment will mean his destruction.
• The filter cartridge is essentially maintenance-free. However, we must recommend using water that is not cloudy, otherwise the surface of the cartridge will clog faster and this will reduce the life of the filter.
• The versatility of the filter predestines it for wide use. It will be appreciated by everyone who moves in nature for a long time (hikers, campers, fishermen, paddlers, etc.)
• The filter was compared several times and came out of all the tests as a great and elegant solution
