Product details

The Katadyn Gravity BeFree™10.0L water filter utilizes the concept of gravity; simply fill it up, hang it, and you don't need to press or squeeze. Enjoy clean drinking water outdoors, ready whenever you are.
It features clear scale markings, a convenient strap for hanging and carrying, and an included adapter kit that allows direct connection to a hydration bladder for versatile and convenient use.

Ultramicron Filtration: Filters down to 0.1 microns, removing bacteria, cysts, sediment and microplastics; it does not remove viruses.
High Flow Rate: Achieves a maximum flow rate of 2 liters per minute, so you don't have to wait long for water.
Quick Filter Cleaning Design: When the flow rate drops, fill the pouch with water, reattach the cartridge and shake it vigorously, or hold the cartridge and swish it in water to clean it; untreated source water can be used. However, the outlet (mouthpiece) must not touch untreated water; keep it clean after cleaning. Hold the pouch end lightly while swishing — do not squeeze the filter itself.
Widely Applicable Activities: Suitable for all outdoor activities, such as mountaineering, fishing, boating, family camping, group activities, etc.
Lightweight and Portable: Its lightweight design allows you to have access to clean water anytime during your travels.
Convenient Adaptation: The adapter kit connects directly to hydration bladders for easy refilling.
Hanging Storage: The adapter kit makes it easy to hang and store the soft tube.

EZ-CLEAN MEMBRANE FILTER Hollow Fiber Filter Diagram

0.1 micron filtration can filter out bacteria and protozoan cysts. Per the manufacturer's manual, it reduces bacteria (Klebsiella terrigena) by 99.9999% and protozoan cysts (Giardia and Cryptosporidium) by 99.9%, which the maker states meets the U.S. EPA microbiological water purifier standards for those two groups; it does not remove viruses.

Thoughtful Design and Efficient Filtration

Combining convenient connection, hanging storage, flow control, and efficient filtration, the 0.1-micron filter aperture effectively blocks bacteria. With a high flow rate of 2 liters per minute, you can quickly, safely, and conveniently refill and use water outdoors.

Filter Cleaning is Super Easy

When the flow rate drops, fill the pouch with water, reattach the cartridge and shake it vigorously, or hold the cartridge and swish it in water to clean it; untreated source water can be used. However, the outlet (mouthpiece) must not touch untreated water; keep it clean after cleaning. Hold the pouch end lightly while swishing — do not squeeze the filter itself.

Outdoor All-Round Partner, Economical and Environmentally Friendly

Suitable for all outdoor activities, letting you say goodbye to expensive bottled water, practical and convenient.

Correct Use and Maintenance

After use, please clean thoroughly with clean water and allow all components to air dry completely to prevent mold.

Filter Cartridge Usage Precautions

Do not rinse the EZ-Clean Membrane filter horizontally under tap water. Do not hold or squeeze the EZ-Clean Membrane filter with your hands when opening or closing the Katadyn BeFree filter, as this will damage the hollow fiber membrane of the filter.

Filter Cartridge Usage Precautions

Do not touch the hollow fiber membrane of the filter with tools or fingers.

FAQ

How many people is the BeFree Gravity 10.0L suitable for?

Capacity is 10.0 liters. The manufacturer's fact sheet calls it suitable for larger groups (10 liters in about 5 minutes), and the product page group-size field reads '1, >10, 2-5' for the 6L and 10L together, with no single recommended number, at up to 2 L per minute, and it suits group activities and family camping.

Can the BeFree Gravity 10.0L connect directly to a hydration bladder?

Yes. The product description lists an included adapter kit that lets you put filtered water straight into a hydration bladder. It also comes with a soft hose, flow control valve, shoulder strap and storage bag.

Can the BeFree Gravity 10.0L filter viruses?

The product description does not list viruses. The listed targets are bacteria, protozoa, cysts, sediment and microplastics, with a 0.1 micron filtration pore size. It should not be relied on for virus protection; if virus contamination is a concern, the water needs separate treatment.

What does the BeFree Gravity 10.0L filter out?

The cartridge is a 0.1 micron hollow fiber membrane. The product description lists removal of bacteria, protozoa, cysts, sediment and microplastics, at up to 2 L per minute.

How long does the BeFree Gravity 10.0L cartridge last?

The specification lists a cartridge life of about 1,000 liters, depending on source water quality. When the flow rate drops noticeably, first clean the cartridge: fill the pouch with water, reattach the cartridge and shake it vigorously, or hold the cartridge and swish it in water to clean it; untreated source water can be used. However, the outlet (mouthpiece) must not touch untreated water; keep it clean after cleaning. Hold the pouch end lightly while swishing — do not squeeze the filter itself.

How do I clean the BeFree Gravity 10.0L cartridge when the flow slows down?

Fill the pouch with water, reattach the cartridge and shake it vigorously, or hold the cartridge and swish it in water to clean it; untreated source water can be used. However, the outlet (mouthpiece) must not touch untreated water; keep it clean after cleaning. Hold the pouch end lightly while swishing — do not squeeze the filter itself. Do not rinse it horizontally under tap water, squeeze it by hand, or touch the hollow fiber membrane with tools or fingers.

How do the BeFree Gravity 3L, 6L and 10L differ?

Capacities are 3, 6 and 10 liters, weighing about 192, 263 and 284 g, and the 10L is the heaviest at about 284 g. The cartridge is the same 0.1 micron, with a life of about 1,000 liters. The product descriptions for the 6L and 10L also list an adapter kit.

How does the BeFree Gravity 10L differ from the Base Camp Pro 10L?

Both are 10 liters at about 2 L per minute. The Gravity uses a 0.1 micron hollow fiber membrane, with a life of about 1,000 liters; the Base Camp Pro uses 0.2 micron glass fiber, with a life of about 1,500 liters, and weighs 350 g.

Can the BeFree Gravity 10.0L be used in freezing conditions?

No. The manufacturer's manual warns against using it in freezing conditions, because a frozen membrane could let microorganisms bypass the filter and cause illness. If the cartridge has frozen, been dropped hard or may be damaged, stop using it and run the manual's integrity test: with the membrane wet, try to blow air through the output hose; if you cannot blow through, the fibers are intact, and if you can, the fibers are broken, so stop using it and replace the cartridge.

How should the BeFree Gravity 10.0L be prepared for long-term storage?

Before long-term storage, follow the long-term storage procedure in the manufacturer's manual: clean and disinfect the filter, hoses and bag, then disassemble all parts, rinse them with filtered or treated water, air dry them completely, reassemble and store them in the carry bag; the manual has the detailed steps. When taking it out of long-term storage, flush it with 2 liters of filtered or treated water to remove stale taste. Do not put the membrane or filter cap in a dishwasher or microwave.

What does the manual say about viruses and chemically contaminated water for the BeFree Gravity 10.0L?

The manufacturer's manual states that the BeFree does not remove viruses, nor chemicals, radioactive materials or particles smaller than 0.1 microns, and that it must never be used on seawater, brackish water or chemically contaminated water (for example water from mine tailing ponds or near large agricultural operations). If the water raises these concerns, use a reliable drinking water source instead, or treat it separately.

Can the BeFree Gravity 10.0L filter cloudy water?

The manufacturer's two documents differ: the fact sheet says 'Also for cloudy water', while the product page lists the water source type as Clear Water. The manual's advice is to always use the best fresh water source available and to avoid still water or water in areas of heavy human or animal use, to extend membrane life; when the flow slows, clean it by shaking or swishing, and replace the cartridge if that does not restore the flow.
