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