The Katadyn Pocket Water Filter is a legendary gold standard in portable water treatment, engineered for extreme adventurers, international travellers, and emergency professionals who require unfailing reliability in the harshest environments. Constructed from heavy-duty materials like aluminium and stainless steel, this hand pump system is built to last a lifetime, famously backed by a 20-year warranty. Its core technology utilises a silver-impregnated ceramic element with a 0.2-micron pore size, making it exceptionally effective against microorganisms such as bacteria and protozoa. Unlike many lightweight alternatives, this microfilter is specifically designed to handle a clear water or muddy water source without clogging permanently; because the ceramic is cleanable in the field, you can simply scrub away debris to restore flow. With a robust 1 L/min output and a 50,000-litre capacity, it is the ultimate choice for a group of two to five people on long-term expeditions where failure is not an option.

This filter is widely considered the most rugged and dependable portable water treatment system ever made. Whether you are navigating remote wilderness or preparing for a survival situation, the Katadyn Pocket ensures that safe, clean hydration is always within reach.

Key Features:

  • Extreme Durability: Built with high-quality aluminium and stainless steel components to withstand rugged field use and drops.
  • Silver-Impregnated Ceramic: The 0.2-micron ceramic depth filter provides a physical barrier against pathogens while the integrated silver inhibits bacterial regrowth within the element.
  • Massive Lifespan: Offers an unparalleled 50,000-litre capacity, allowing it to provide clean water for years or even decades of frequent use.
  • Field Maintainable: The filter is fully cleanable using an included abrasive pad, ensuring it remains functional even when drawing from high-sediment sources.
  • Multiple Water Sources: Includes a long intake hose with a pre-filter, making it easy to extract water from either a clear water or muddy water source.
  • Ergonomic Pumping: Features an improved, rounded hand pump handle designed to reduce fatigue during high-volume filtration.
  • Optimised for 2-5 People: Efficient enough to support a group of two to five persons, delivering a steady 1 L/min output of safe drinking water.
  • Trusted Protection: It is highly effective against microorganisms including bacteria, cysts, and protozoa (such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium).

The ceramic element can be cleaned by unscrewing the bottom, removing the cartridge, and using the included abrasive pad to scrub the ceramic until the original white colour is restored.

The ceramic element should be cleaned when the water flow decreases significantly, or immediately after filtering very murky or silty water.
