Reviews Katadyn Pocket Water Microfilter

Being a lot on the field for my studies, I rely entirely on this Katadyn Pocket Water Microfilter filter and it has never deceived me. Just don't forget the carbon filter (20$ more) if you want full protection. The basic filter is only efficient against bacterias whereas the carbon filter capture most of the remaining chemicals produced by the bacterias. 

If you search the web, you'll find a lot of reports of the $85 pumps eventually breaking, especially plastic handles. If you have to replace them (or their short-lived filters), you've already well into what it would cost to buy a Katadyn Pocket. This thing is pretty damn tough, and the only way to break it would be to take it apart and drop the inner ceramic filter.

• Pocket water filter designed four outdoor enthusiasts and international travelers
• Filter's silver-impregnated ceramic element is effective against bacteria and protozoa
• Filters all microorganisms larger than 0.2 microns to produce clear, drinkable water
• Round pump handle for easy pumping; outlet hose attaches to containers with clip

Built for long-lasting continuous use, the Katadyn Pocket water microfilter features a silver-impregnated ceramic element that's effective against bacteria and protozoa even in extreme conditions.

Katadyn Pocket Water Microfilter Pros:

• the most durable water filter on the market
• the filter is extremely efficient and if you use the active carbon filter too you have an optimal protection against bacterias and most of the chemicals, but don't forget to add the carbon filter.

Katadyn Pocket Water Microfilter Cons:

• a little bit heavy for backpackers who like to travel light
• kind of expensive

The Pocket hails from Katadyn's Endurance series, a high-quality line of filters that can produce up to 100 times more water than standard water filters. The Pocket is so tough in fact, that it's the first choice for extreme adventurers like Mike Horn. Plus, it's the only water filter with a 20-year warranty.

This is the BEST water filter you can buy!!! Only 20 oz. It is small enough to fit into the side pocket of your backpack. but is tougher then an old boot. [no plastic] It will filter 12000 to 13000 GALLONS of water [thats gallons not liters] and comes with a 20 yr. warranty. I wish everything was made like this! When the U.S. military uses them, you know its tough and completely dependable. Its not cheap, but you buy it once, you buy it for life!!! ooo

Having never seen one in person I always thought it was made of plastic. Katadyn Pocket Water Microfilter is made entirely of aluminum, other than the ceramic filter, prefilter and lines. I haven`t used it but after reading all the reviews and now having one in my hand I have no doubts that if the need arises it will perform flawlessly.
