Product details
The Pocket is one of KATADYN's most classic portable water filters, specially designed for small teams on hiking, trekking, and high-altitude trips. To accommodate long-term use in the wilderness, it utilizes the most advanced ceramic-silver hybrid material, which effectively removes harmful bacteria, eliminating concerns about blockages caused by bacterial buildup. No special periodic cleaning procedures are required. The aluminum alloy construction is suitable for all extreme environments.
Whether you're into survival, jungle adventures, hunting, or general outdoor activities, the proven ceramic deep filter Katadyn Pocket Tactical removes bacteria, protozoa, and other pathogenic agents. It filters microorganisms larger than 0.2 micrometers (0.0002mm).
Unlike disposable filters, ceramic material can be cleaned multiple times, even outdoors. With a ceramic filter, clean water can be filtered efficiently and quickly, at a rate of 1 liter/minute. It can filter up to 50,000 liters, depending on the quality of the raw water.
- Top Performance: Renowned as one of the highest-performing portable water filters on the market.
