Katadyn Vario Microfilter

Katadyn Vario Microfilter

Katadyn® Vario Microfilter's two-mode design lets you opt between fast filtration or extended lifetime of the primary filter (up to 500 gallons!)
Vario features a two-filter system; one is a 0.3-micron, pleated glassfiber filter used to remove waterborne bacteria and cysts
Secondary ceramic filter, engaged with a simple twist of the casing, is used to prefilter debris in dirty water away from primary filter
Keeping turbid water away from the primary filter effectively extends its usable life
Vario is also a high-output system, filtering up to two quarts per minute in "fast flow mode" (filtering clean water with ceramic filter disengaged)
In "longer life mode" (ceramic filter engaged), unit produces one quart per minute
Replaceable carbon keeps water tasting fresh and reduces chemicals, toxins and odors through the life of the cartridge
Dual-piston technology minimizes the effort required to pump water through the system
Unit attaches directly to standard, wide-mouth bottles (not included) for filling; output hose accommodates hydration systems and large containers
Includes two bags of replaceable carbon, prefilter, cleaning pad, lubricant and carry bag
