Ultralight mechanical filter with a soft yet durable collapsible bottle for trekking and traveling. The filter has a flow rate of up to 2 l/min. It operates on the principle of hollow fiber membranes, which capture all impurities larger than 0,1 microns (eliminating bacteria, protozoa, and sediments).
Thoughtful water filter with a soft bottle for trekking and traveling.
Specifications
The Katadyn BeFree water filter is a well-known and widely used filter in the hiking community. Most users appreciate its fast flow rate, easy water collection using the wide-mouth bottle, excellent packability, and low weight. Simply fill the bottle with water, and you can drink directly or filter it into another container.
The filter features an EZ-Clean Membrane™. It works on the principle of hollow fiber membranes, which trap anything larger than 0,1 microns (0,00001 mm). Cleaning the filter is simple – just remove it from the bottle and rinse it in clean water.
The filter increases the safety of water from natural sources. It meets EPA standards and removes 99,9999% of bacteria and 99,9% of protozoa (including Giardia, Cryptosporidium, etc.).
The filter's stated lifespan is 1000 liters. While this may seem low compared to competing filters, it is sufficient for several years of use in the field. To put it into perspective, try calculating how much water you actually filter during one hiking season.
