The powerful Katadyn Vario microfilter from the Backcountry series is ideal for supplying water to 1-4 people and offers different filter modes depending on the water conditions. This Katadyn pump filter has 3 filter stages: a high-performance glass fiber filter against microbiological contaminants (bacteria, protozoa), a replaceable activated carbon filter against chemicals, odors and bad taste and a manually switchable ceramic pre-filter for dirty or cloudy water (particles, suspended matter). The upstream ceramic filter is easy to clean and increases the lifespan of the fiberglass filter. When water contamination is low, only the fiberglass and activated carbon filters are used in the "FAST FLOW" mode. In this fast mode you can 2 liters of water per minute can be prepared in no time. In the "LONGER LIFE" mode with a manually connected ceramic filter, 1 liter of water can be filtered per minute. Thanks to its integrated bottle thread on the bottom of the filter, the Katadyn Vario fits directly onto many standard drinking bottles (e.g. Nalgene bottles with a large opening). The rubber foot gives the filter a secure stand and the outlet hose with bottle clip makes it easier to fill a wide variety of containers. The Vario is the perfect addition to any trekking, hiking or camping equipment.
