Description

The Katadyn Hiker is a manual, pump-action microfilter designed for backpackers to make backcountry water safe to drink by removing bacteria and protozoa. Its pleated glass-fiber filter physically removes particles, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium, down to 0.3 microns, while an activated carbon core improves the taste by reducing chemicals and pesticides. The system includes a pre-filter to protect the main filter and a universal bottle adapter for filling containers.

Key features and specifications
  • Filtration: Physically removes bacteria (99.9999%) and protozoa (99.9%) like Giardia and Cryptosporidium, and filters particles down to 0.3 microns. 
     
  • Activated carbon core: Adsorbs chemicals, pesticides, and other contaminants to improve water taste and odor. 
     
  • Pleated glass-fiber filter: The pleated design increases surface area for faster pumping and handles muddy water effectively. This type of filter is also more resistant to freezing than hollow fiber filters. 
     
  • Output: Filters approximately 1 quart (1 liter) per minute with about 48 strokes. 
     
  • Pre-filter: A 150-micron pre-filter on the intake hose removes larger particles to extend the life of the main filter. 
     
  • Hose and adapters: Includes an output hose with a quick-connect fitting for compatibility with some hydration reservoirs and a universal adapter for attaching to most water bottles. 
     
  • Weight: Approximately 11 oz. (310 grams). 
     
  • Filter life: Approximately 200 gallons (750 liters). 
     
  • Included items: Prefilter, bottle adapter, carry bag, and quick-connect hoses
