xKatadyn Pocket Military Grade Ceramic Water Filter
The legendary ceramic depth water filter trusted by military and emergency professionals worldwide. The Katadyn Pocket removes bacteria, protozoa, and disease-causing agents through silver-impregnated 0.2 micron ceramic filter. Weighs 538g and delivers 1L/min output with capacity up to 50,000 litres depending on water quality. The ceramic can be cleaned repeatedly even in the field. Suitable for toughest conditions and first choice for extreme adventurers.
Silver-Impregnated Ceramic Removes Bacteria and Protozoa
The silver-impregnated ceramic depth filter removes bacteria, protozoa, and disease-causing agents. Micro-organisms cannot pass through the 0.2 micron pores because of their size. The silver impregnation provides additional antimicrobial protection within the ceramic structure.
50,000 Litre Capacity for Decades of Use
The ceramic filter capacity reaches up to 50,000 litres depending on water quality. This exceptional longevity makes the Pocket suitable for decades of use. The cleanable ceramic can be scrubbed repeatedly to restore flow rate throughout its lifespan.
Field Cleanable Ceramic Unlike Disposable Filters
Unlike disposable filters, the ceramic can be cleaned several times even in the field. Scrubbing with a brush or scouring pad removes sediment and restores flow rate. This field maintenance capability proves valuable during extended expeditions in Scottish Highlands, Welsh valleys, and remote UK locations.
Trusted by Military and Emergency Professionals Worldwide
Decades of military and emergency professionals around the world have put their trust in the Pocket's ability to deliver water free of bacteria and protozoa. The proven reliability makes this the first choice for extreme adventurers. The rugged construction withstands the toughest conditions.
1 Litre Per Minute Output
The filter delivers 1L/min output through the silver-impregnated ceramic. This flow rate provides sufficient water for small groups up to 3 people. The consistent output makes filling water bottles and containers efficient at camp.
Suitable for Extremely Dirty Water
The ceramic depth filter handles extremely dirty water from rivers, streams, and lakes. The cleanable ceramic removes sediment and turbidity effectively. This proves valuable when camping in locations with turbid water sources.
Versatile Use from Backcountry to Boat Travel
The Pocket suits backcountry hiking, motorhome travel, car camping, and boat expeditions. The 50,000L capacity and field cleanable ceramic make this suitable for daily use and emergency preparedness. The proven reliability serves extreme adventurers and casual campers alike.
Lightweight 538g for Long-Term Reliability
At 538g, the Pocket provides exceptional capacity-to-weight ratio. The weight is justified by the 50,000L capacity and decades of reliable service. The compact 22.8cm height and 5.8cm diameter pack easily in backpacks.
