    Katadyn Pocket Microfilter
    Tough enough to handle heavily silted water, the Katadyn Pocket Microfilter has a cleanable ceramic filter element that filters down to 0.2 microns, removing all known disease-causing bacteria and protozoa from your drinking water without the use of chemicals. Designed with few moving parts and an easy-maintenance design, it's the water filter of choice for traveling professionals and those who can't afford the Giardia diet plan deep in the backcountry. New features include a round pump handle for comfortable use and a bottle clip on the outlet hose.

    MSR MiniWorks Ceramic Water Filter
    MSR's MiniWorks Filter is one of the most cost-effective and user-friendly water filters on the market. This compact and lightweight filter features an opposing-action lever that is easier to use than bike-pump-style water filters. An Activated Block Carbon Filter inside the pump removes many chemicals, including pesticides, iodine and chlorine from the water. It even removes most odors and improves the taste of the water you're pumping. The US Marines adopted the MiniWorks microfilter for global use by the Amphibious Raids and Reconnaissance Division.

    Katadyn Mini Element Ceramic Microfilter Cartridge
    Keep a backup filter handy at base camp for your Mini Ceramic water filtration system. Filters down to 0.2 microns.

    Katadyn Micropur Purification Tablets (Package of 30)
    Better tasting than chlorine and potentially less harmful than iodine, these Micropur Purification Tablets rely on Sodium Chlorite (i.e. Chlorine Dioxide) to penetrate and kill cysts, viruses, bacteria, protozoa, worm eggs and giardia. Simply wait 30 minutes with normal water under typical conditions or 4 hours for Crypto in freezing cold muddy water before drinking from your newly purified water supply. These precisely measured tablets are ideal for purifying small quantities of water anytime, anywhere - especially while traveling, in hotels, and ultralight trips. If you need water quickly or rely on sources with gritty or muddy runoff, consider using the Katadyn Guide or Hiker Microfilters.

    Katadyn Guide Microfilter Replacement Cartridge
    Whether you're actually a guide or you simply prefer to be prepared, this Katadyn Guide Microfilter Replacement Cartridge is an essential component for extended backcountry trips and large base camp facilities.

    Katadyn Hiker Microfilter
    There are a few of us around the office who bought the original Pur Hiker Microfilter when it came out in 1994 and we're still using the same model. A few of us even have the same filter, but filter performance depends largely upon water quality and consistent use of the prefilter attachment. This Katadyn Hiker Microfilter uses a 129-square inch pleated glassfiber media filter that removes everything down to 0.3 microns, which takes care of cysts, bacteria, protozoa and giardia. The compact design and easy pump configuration made it the "best by a long shot" and tops in all rankings in a comprehensive review of all water systems by Backpacker Magazine. We have to agree. If you're pumping water for a large group, consider the slightly-larger-but-more-efficient Katadyn Guide&153; Microfilter.

    MSR MiniWorks EX Water Filter Pump
    Giardia lamblia and other nasty protozoan cysts don't vie for exclusive backcountry terrain. They're everywhere. Depending on where you hike or climb--especially if you're in popular destination areas like national parks--you'll probably encounter more tainted water sources than long-haul backpackers in remote regions. That's why MSR designed their MiniWorks EX specifically for day hikers. It's lighter, smaller and more versatile than most hydration packs. It's also more efficient than previous water filter designs. MSR added a new AirSpring Accumulator which improves the water pumping efficiency by about 45% or roughly a liter per minute. It works by trapping an air bubble inside the redesigned filter housing. This air bubble compresses on the down stroke to store energy then expands on the upstroke to push water further through the ceramic cartridge. Because the inside of the cartridge is under constant pressure, more water flows through in less time than other ceramic filter water pumps. That adds up to more break time during your breaks--which is a good thing at any altitude.

    Katadyn Katadyn Exstream XR Purifier Bottle
    Created specifically for hiking, backpacking and remote trekking, the Katadyn Exstream XR Purifier Bottle features an internal EPA-registered Virustrat cartridge and carbon filter to remove microorganisms and all viruses from any water source. This 34-oz. bottle weighs less than the lightest backcountry microfilters and doesn't require pumping, making it perfect for extended day hikes and summer mountaineering around questionable water sources. One thing to consider is that the filter and cartridge require a bit more work than sipping from a standard water bottle--but the extra safety measure will keep you healthier miles beyond the nearest trailhead or outpost.

    Katadyn Katadyn Exstream Purifier Bottle
    Designed to fit in most bike water bottle cages, the Katadyn Exstream Purifier Bottle features an internal EPA-registered Virustrat cartridge and carbon filter to remove microorganisms and all viruses from any water source. This 26-oz. bottle weighs less than the lightest backcountry microfilters and doesn't require pumping, making it perfect for extended mountain biking around questionable water sources. One thing to consider is that the filter and cartridge require a bit more work than sipping from a standard water bottle--but the extra safety measure will keep you healthier miles beyond the nearest trailhead or outpost.

    MSR Miox Water Purifier
    Initially developed for and tested by the U.S. military, the MSR Miox Purifier eliminates the need to pump water by combining a small amount of untreated water and charging it with electricity to produce a cocktail of mixed oxidants that you add to your untreated water to kill viruses, bacteria, giardia and cryptosporidia within a four hour period. No larger than a small flashlight, the Miox is an essential component for any well-equipped base camp or disaster preparation kit. The salt dosage is so small that it doesn't impart any bad flavor or health risk like iodine and other chemical purifiers. Because the Miox requires nothing more than ordinary salt and batteries, it's almost maintenance free, allowing you to purify over 200 liters of water between changes.

A standard feature with the new Hiker Pro system, this Katadyn Field Maintenance Kit cleans and upgrades your classic Hiker Microfilter with a new cleanable filter protection system and a practical and lightweight deluxe carry bag. O-rings and silicon lubricant give you the option of making repairs at home or in the field. The lightweight design packs away easily without taking up space or adding unnecessary pack weight.

    Katadyn Exstream Cyst Water Filter (2-Pack Kit)
    Designed specifically for the only EPA registered water purifier bottle on the planet, these Exstream Cyst Filters connect to your Virustat cartridge and filter up to 26 gallons depending on the quality of your water source. Exstream Cyst Filters remove Giardia and Cryptosporidium from your drinking water but eventually require changing to enhance flow and performance. The lightweight design easily fits into any small pouch or pack pocket for convenient travel.

    Katadyn Guide Microfilter
    If you hike or climb with big groups in the summer, the Katadyn Guide Microfilter is an essential for every outing. It features a large, easy-grip T-shape handle with a high output pump that filters 1.5 liters per minute, the fastest rate for any microfilter currently available. The large pleated filter features an activated carbon core (minimizes bad flavors) that moves high volumes of liquid at low, easy-pumping pressures. Outside the pleated filter is a special removable filter that helps extend cartridge life by blocking larger clogging impurities. Depending on water quality, the Guide Microfilter cartridge will purify up to 200 gallons before required replacement.

    Katadyn Hiker PRO Microfilter
    An essential camping gear item, the Katadyn Hiker PRO Microfilter efficiently removes bacteria and protozoan parasites including giardia and cryptosporidia from backcountry drinking water sources. A step up from the popular Hiker model, the Katadyn Hiker PRO Water Filter includes a removable filter protector that extends cartridge life in demanding conditions, a field maintenance kit, and Quick Connect Fittings for easy installation and removal of output hoses, including direct attachment to hydration bladder drink tubes (1/4 inch inside diameter). Additionally, a universal bottle adaptor allows fuss-free filling of bike bottles, wide mouth Nalgene bottles, etc. Backpackers and climbers alike appreciate the compact, lightweight design, and low maintenance AntiClog technology. The fast, great tasting output of the Katadyn Hiker PRO Water Filter also makes it an attractive option, even enough for those treatment tablet die-hards to finally jump on the microfilter wagon. If traveling to a developing country, be sure to consider a system that eliminates viruses too.
