Katadyn Hiker Pro Hand Pump Water Filter

The Katadyn Hiker Pro is the best-selling microfilter in the US Outdoor Market, designed to provide a liter of fresh, enjoyable water from a lake, river, or creek in only a minute during long adventures. This compact filter removes bacteria, giardia, and cryptosporidium, and the activated carbon granulate reduces unpleasant tastes. With quick-connect fittings, users can filter clean water directly into a bottle or pack reservoir, as the filter is compatible with the most popular water bottles and hydration systems.

The filter protector can be easily and effortlessly cleaned in the field, guaranteeing quick access to safe drinking water even in turbid waters. The new, transparent design allows users to follow the water flow and the filtering process. The capacity of this filter is up to 1,150 liters (300 gallons), depending on the water quality.
