 "Works GREAT!!" 2010-03-07
By Patriot223 (Florida)
We regularly train in an area that has a few untreated wells intended for horses. While very clear, it is nasty sulfur water with God knows what else in it. This filter may be used w/o charcoal in the filter, however, if you have the additional problem of sulfur, use the charcoal for "Tap Quality Water" or better.



TIP: If filtering water from a spigot you will need to run it into a reservoir of some type for collection tube to be submersed. I used a plastic drink bottle w/top cut off.

 "One of the best out there..." 2010-02-11
By Cadenza (SoCal, CA - USA)
I've had my Katadyn Combi since 2003. Chose it over the Pocket because of the ability to use Activated Carbon and I got a good deal... $120 including a spare filter and an extra set of gaskets. It can be screwed onto a Nalgene bottle or a regular bottle. The housing is actually quite sturdy but not as tough as the Pocket. It's seen a few backpacking trips in the Ansel Adams Wilderness, Inyo National Forest, Yosemite NP, San Jacinto, Ventana (Big Sur) and SE Asia. Pump rate is good at ~1L/min and the pump handle is big and comfortable. Filtered water tastes great. If you're concerned about viruses, add a chemical solution into the filtered water, wait 15 minutes and you're good to go.



Since then I've bought the Ceradyn for home use and a Gravidyn as a gift. Besides being cost-effective, they've all hold up very well. Ceramic filters rock!!!

 "great water filter system" 2009-06-19
By Britta
Great water filter, I'd recommend it to anyone going backpacking and camping. We do use it together with a Steripen, though, just to make sure.

But the combination of the carbon filter plus the ceramic filter is great and the best choice! Water tastes fantastic! First we were worried that the "plastic" wouldn't be too durable, but it's very rugged and survived dropping on stone etc so I am confident it's going to last a long time. Definitely worth the money, and although not the lightest, we carry it along for backpacking and it's fine. Pumping only became harder after 3-4 days, so take the sponge with you to wash the filter in between.

 "Excellent!" 2009-04-14
By Crablegs (Hawaii)
A quality product designed to do exactly what it is described to do. However, not meant to be your primary source during survival times. Look for something more for that. One comment regarding taste. You need to lubricate the seals between uses so that gives it a slight taste. But it's good to have when you are dying of thirst.

The Katadyn Combi gives you the filter life of the Katadyn Pocket for a lot less money. True it isn't made of all metal, but it is sturdy. The bottle top adapter works well and it is easy to disassemble. Great product.

 "It works" 2010-01-27
By B. D. Jones (Lakewood, CO United States)
I bought one of these last year. On my last trip out to the boonies, I filled it with water from the Fremont River in Utah and drank. No problems, no ill effects. Some people complain that they have to squeeze the bottle to drink- oh my, the poor dears. You have to squeeze, because you are forcing water thru 2 different filter mediums.



Good product.

 "False ADVERTISING, BEWARE!!!" 2010-01-27
By Tyeisha A. Cole (Ohio)


If you take a look below-you will notice that the product CLAIMS to ELIMINATE bacteria, protozoa, and VIRUSES. However, when my bottle arrived, there was a sticker inside the bottle. The sticker was a disclaimer that the bottle ONLY eliminates cyst and bacteria. In order to eliminate VIRUSES, I will have to purchase the "katadyn VIRUSTAT purification cartridge system." I will be in rural villages for a few months, outside the united states. I am leaving very soon, and if I had the time to return this product, I SURELY WOULD. This is FALSE ADVERTISING. Take a look for yourself. PLEASE, BE AWARE if you purchase this product.

The product seems to do what it claims, but after sucking and squeezing like crazy to get the water out I ditched it for a brita pitcher. If I go kayaking and have limited space I'll take this along, but only if I can't take my regular wilderness filter.

 "Great Emergency Water Supply" 2008-07-17
By Samuel Bouchillon (Franklin, Tennessee United States)
The ease of use and simple rugged construction belies the high technology of this water purification system. It's design is also compact making storage and portability a major positive consideration. I bought this item for my 84 y.o. mother for her emergency respone kit (which everyone should have as part of their Homeland Defense supplies). Just the week before this purchase a major water line burst denying the entire community water for several days. Didn't need it this time, but who knows about the next emergency? Sure, the money spent could have purchased several cases of bottled water, but try lugging that water around if you need to move--impossible for the elderly. We feel much safer now knowing that water can be obtained and purified from almost any source. Pricey, yes, but worth it considering the alternatives. No, I do not work for or own stock in Katadyn. :-)

My husband and I, along with other adults, take a group of girls up into the Los Padres National Forest in California every summer for a few days. We have used this filter for a number of years and it works great! We can pump enough water for over 10 people and it's so easy to use. I think we'll buy another one to make it more convenient, the price is right.

 "Refreshing" 2008-09-18
By Brian Imel (Veneta, OR USA)
I used this on a long backpack trip in the Idaho Sawtooths. It was hot and dry, and the snow melt was dwindling. It worked extremely well. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was because it took a little longer than my last water purifier to pump the same volume. I was cooking for 5 and pumping more than 1 1/2 gallons at each meal was tedious. I will get another one before my next trip to speed the process.

 "Katadyn Pocket Water Microfilter" 2010-01-16
By InternetShopper3258 (CA)
Great Product - I would recommend it after doing lots of research. It's one of the better products out there and has a lifetime warranty from Katadyn against defects in materials and workmanship.

From the Pamphlet:

"Your Katadyn Pocket Microfilter comes with a lifetime warranty from the date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship. Should your Katadyn Pocket prove defective within that period from the date of purchase, return it to the Katadyn retailer from who it was purchased...Please retain your purchase receipt as proof of date purchase..." so be sure to keep your receipt somewhere safe (just in case)



It comes with two hoses (one input hose and one output in it's own bag to prevent cross-contamination), two green scrubbing pads, a measuring device to let you measure when you need to replace the ceramic filter, lubricant and two replacement o-rings (one in one size, and another in smaller size (which I have yet to figure out where it goes)), and a bottle "spring-clip" which allows you to hook the hose to a bottle or reservoir. Make sure you put the "bottle-clip" on the hose before you put the plastic cap on as I had a bit of an adventure getting it on. It comes in a carrying-case to keep it all together.



After reading the instructions you will discover that you need to do an initial pumping to get the "ceramic dust" out of the system. After doing that I taste-tested the water and there was no funky taste or smell. It was crystal clear and had no odor whatsoever.



I own this product and would would highly recommend putting it high on my consideration list if I were shopping for a water-filter.

 "Katadyn Pocket is the last filter you will ever buy" 2009-10-19
By Christian L. Franken (St. Paul, MN)
I previously owned a Katadyn Hiker Pro Katadyn Hiker PRO Water Microfilter and a Katadyn VarioKatadyn Vario Multi Flow Water Microfilter. Both had small plastic parts break in the middle of extended wilderness trips. For the Hiker, the input barb broke off and for the Vario the pump axis broke. I cannot say that I am hard on my equipment but tools that are made for the outdoors should withstand the occasional bump. Fortunately, the vendor took both itmes back for a full refund.



I decided to invest a bit more in a filter that I would not have to worry about and sprang for the Katadyn Pocket Water Microfilter. I am not disappointed with my purchase. I only had a chance to use it once so far, but I can tell that it performs beautifully. All parts that could possibly break are either stainless steel. It is about three times as expensive as the Vario, but from the fact sheet you should get 25 times the filter capacity (2,000 liters for Vario vs. 50,000 liters for the Pocket). It should pay for itself!



Last but not least: I really liked the ergonomics of the Vario, especially with a plastic bottle attached to the bottom. I find the Pocket even better, works like an oldfashioned bicycle pump.



Conclusion: this will be the last filter I will have to buy.

 "You get what you pay for" 2009-10-04
By Ed
My first cheaper, lighter, pump filter cracked on the second day of a week of backpacking on Isle Royale Natl. Park - which has cysts among other biologicals in the water. It was the first time I ever used it after testing it with tap water at home. More pressurized, UNfiltered water sprayed out the crack than into my canteen. Filling a canteen took forever, but it could have been much worse if it didn't filter at all. Carrying fuel for boiling was out of the question. Buy this Katadyn and never worry about your drinking water again. How much is NOT having intestinal distress worth when you are on vacation and far from medical care or meds? THe Red Cross has used them to filter water in Africa for sixty years with no failures. Save your pack weight somewhere else, the extra pound that this filter weighs is well worth the assurance of safe water it affords. Filter your water from the top of the source to avoid the bottom sediment and it will last for generations. This filter is so reliable that you don't need to carry a backup unless you are absent minded and likely to leave it by the stream after filling your canteen. I have the decades old, white model, but it still works like new.

 "Great Filter! Hasn't failed me yet!" 2009-11-20
By Stephen F. Miller (Pennsylvania)
I have used the Katadyn Hiker Pro on wilderness canoe camping trips for three years now in tannin rich waters in Maine and the Adirondacks and have had no trouble at all.



Recently one of my camping partners had his MSI Mini-Works fail in short order but we were able to continue on with my Hiker Pro, providing us with clean water for the rest of our four day wilderness camping trip.



I tend to replace the filter cartridge every year before my spring canoe camping trips and this keeps me pumping clean water for the whole year.



The provided end cap fits the Nalagene bottles of many sizes and canteen water bags easily; however I recommend optional screw on cap attachments for Platypus water bags as they make your life can be much easier when pumping from steep, muddy banks without worrying about end cap parting from the top of the bag/bottle as you hang on and pump.

 "Easy to use and works fast" 2009-11-16
By Thomas Bloess (Duarte, Ca)
I have tested it before and finally took it out on a backpacking trip. First things first, now that I am back from my trip I can report not getting sick, which is a great start. Secondly, I filled 2 liters of water in the time it took my buddy to figure out how to use his steri-pen, even though he may not be the brightest, the hiker pro worked really well. The water bladder adapter made the job easy and mess free as well. I would highly recommend this.

 "Works, more so than the customer service does." 2009-11-04
By M. Byington
I bought this filter as I section hike the Appalachian trail and had been borrowing a MSR filter from a friend. I bought this filter 2 and 1/2 weeks before my most recent trip and when the filter came in I noticed the prefilter was missing. I contacted the customer service and informed them of this and within 1 hour I had received a response saying they would send it out as soon as possible. Well a few days before the trip I send another message since I hadnt received the piece and they said they sent it already. A week AFTER my trip was over the piece finally came in and based on the post mark it was sent 3 days before it came in. I wouldnt be so mad if it wasnt for the fact that they lied to me about the situation.



At home the filter does work just like any other but given the choice I would have opted for the MSR filter that I know is reliable and as far as I know already comes with all the pieces you need. This is what I get for trying to save a few bucks.

I received this last March as A birthday present and just used it for the first time, it works great. I first tried it out on some accumulated rain water in our camp tarp; the water was not quite clear, but tasted fine. I drank the filtered water all weekend with no ill effects, so it must work.

By D. Dunlap
Used this twice for on backpacking trips on the AT...one week trip and a weekend. Worked very well. Took it on a long day hike and couldn't get it to work...found out that the intake stem was broken. Never put the filter under too much stress for it to break in such a way. My advice...pay more for a better qaulity pump.
