Katadyn BeFree Gravity 3L
Katadyn BeFree Gravity 3L is a gravity-based water filtration system designed to produce drinking water from unverified sources, such as streams or rivers. It features a 3-liter water reservoir that you fill with water and hang, for example, on a tree. The filter has a flow rate of up to 2 l/min. It works on the principle of a hollow fiber membrane that captures anything larger than 0,1 microns (eliminating bacteria, protozoa, and sediments). It is an ideal choice for a group of hikers.
Thoughtful gravity filtration system for trekking and traveling.
Specifications
The water filtration system can filter up to 2 liters per minute, depending on the turbidity of the water source. It purifies approximately 1000 liters of drinking water, depending on the level of contamination. Suitable for a group of 2-5 people.
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.
