The first time I used one of these was in the dirt laden Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. It took me maybe 15 minutes to pump a liter of water...but if you've ever seen the Colorado River, you'd know why. This filter filtered out every little microscopic bit of sediment that the Colorado threw at it. I've sense used it in Big Bend, the Great Smokey Mountains and the Black Hills of South Dakota. Still impresses me. Downside...it's a bit heavy and a little expensive when compared to other hand pump filters, but I've never used iodine/chlorine tablets and with this, I never will. Read more

Not a better filter for the price, quality, ease of use, and weight.

You can buy good cheaper filters, but you will end up paying more on all the replacement filters to pump the same amount as this will pump with one. Consider that it filters down to .2 microns while others only filter to .3 then add in the quality construction and lifetime warranty. If this is not the filter in your backpack, your research leads you to a much different conclusion than ours did. If you come across water that you are concerned may contain viruses they don't live long carry some Katadyn micropur tablets. Pump is fast and easy to use! Read more

Money well spent on this product. Why would you want to skip on ensuring your most vital fluid is pure and healthy? Not only does the water that comes out of this sweeeeet filter taste great, its easy to use and clean! Lets not forget this bad boy is backed by a 20 year warranty. Not many products today come with a 20 year warranty! Invest in yourself, your family, your camp buddies, give them the cleanest water on the trail! Read more

A must have if you are trekking for a while and have no sort of water refueling station. This baby pumps it out fast and allows you to drink even faster. Also it filters away all those harmful bacteria and stuff so you are left with a satisfied tummy. It is a bit pricy but well worth it. It is about the length of a hair brush and about >1.5lbs. Sort of heavy but again better than having to carry a 24 pack of water. Read more

just as good as i had expected and i expected the best! way to go katadyn. they have thought of everything needed to keep this pump maintained. lube for the the pump and a cleaning pad for the ceramic filter are included as well as a zippered bag in which to keep the water outlet to prevent it from becoming contaminated in storage. very happy and my arms will get in to good shape from putting this pump to use.
