Being portable and lightweight the Katadyn water filter has become essential equipment for travel anywhere in the world where the water cannot be trusted to be uncontaminated. It can even be used for water that has been chemically contaminated.

As recently as August 2009 the Katadyn water filter was used by a Japanese aid agency to help after typhoon Morakot inflicted the worst flooding in 50 years on Taiwan. It not only helps to provide safe drinking water, it also lessens the risk of water borne diseases.

The Katadyn water filter comes in many varieties. There is the Endurance series which offers the highest level of filtration, even with extremely dirty water making it ideal for professional use, such as the military, expeditions and disaster relief. These units can filter water for one to four people.

The Backcountry Series is the Katadyn water filter that is ideal for hikers and campers. It will filter water that is slightly dirty or muddy. It is compact and not very heavy – ideal for carrying in a backpack and it is very easy to use.

Then there is the Ultralight Katadyn water filter range. This range consists of filters for individual use and are ideal for sportspeople, such as cyclists, hikers going on a short walk or business people travelling overseas. These are best used with clear water that needs filtering. The filters are contained in lightweight bottles with a straw attached. These can be placed in bottle holders on a bicycle frame making them easily accessible.

Because of the construction of the Katadyn water filter it will last a lifetime. Therefore the units are very economical. The filters are made of silver impregnated ceramic which can be cleaned again and again.
