The tactical version of the legendary ceramic depth water filter trusted by military and emergency professionals worldwide. The Katadyn Pocket Tactical removes bacteria, protozoa, and disease-causing agents through silver-impregnated 0.2 micron ceramic filter.

Suitable for toughest conditions and first choice for serious expeditions.
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.
The ceramic filter capacity reaches up to 50,000 litres depending on water quality. This exceptional longevity makes the Pocket Tactical suitable for decades of use. The cleanable ceramic can be scrubbed repeatedly to restore flow rate throughout its lifespan.
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 and professional operations.
