Katadyn Explorer Pro Water Filter

The Katadyn Explorer Pro Purifier is a rugged three-stage hand-pump water treatment system designed for remote travel, backcountry camps and emergency preparedness. Combining ceramic microfiltration, activated carbon and a hollow-fibre virus membrane, it provides comprehensive treatment for clear or muddy freshwater sources.

Its modular construction allows the activated-carbon and virus-treatment stages to be included or removed according to the conditions of each trip. A durable ceramic cartridge supports regular use and can treat up to 20,000 litres, depending on water quality. With an output of approximately one litre per minute, the Explorer Pro is well suited to groups of two to five people.
