The Katadyn Vario Micro Filter Water Filter is the intelligent microfilter, combining individual efficiency with the simplest possible handling.

Katadyn Vario Micro Filter technology consists of three filter levels:

• High-performance glassfibre filter
• Ceramic pre-filter that can be adjusted individually according to the cloudiness of the water
• Active charcoal for eliminating odours

Outdoors, you find ever-changing water conditions - one day it is clear, the next turbid or smells bad - and the Katadyn Vario Micro Filter with different modes of operation is the answer.

Anyone who needs up to 2 litres of drinking water per minute can use the glassfibre and active charcoal filter. If the water is extremely cloudy, the ceramic pre-filter can be fitted in a moment in order to extend the service life of the glassfibre filter.

The Vario Micro Filter is compatible with most standard outdoor bottles and hydration bladders.

Features

• Filter pump uses ceramic as cleanable dirt shield and glassfibre for microbiological filtration with minimal pump resistance
• In 'Longer Life' mode, the turbid water is first pre-filtered through the ceramic disk
• When operating in 'Faster Flow' mode, the water is directed straight to the glassfibre membrane, increasing the water flow to up to 2 L/min
• Replaceable activated carbon granulate reduces chemicals and improves taste and odour
• A dual-piston mechanism provides continous water flow with minimal effort
• Replacement filters are sold separately (ceramic disk, glassfibre with AC, activated carbon granulate refills)
• Winner of the Industry Award 2006 and the ISPO Outdoor Award Summer 2006
• Selectively addable ceramic pre-filter means ceramic is cleanable and protects the non-cleanable glassfibre from soiling
• Activated carbon core improves taste and adsorbs chemicals
• Dual piston means water flows continously when raising and lowering the pump handle
• Rubber base provides secure stand
• Integrated bottle thread fits directly on wide-mouth Nalgene bottles
• Outlet tube with bottle clip means easy filling of various containers
