Katadyn Hiker Microfilter

Katadyn Hiker Microfilter:
There are a few of us around the office who bought the original Pur Hiker™ Microfilter when it came out in 1994 and we're still using the same model. A few of us even have the same filter, but filter performance depends largely upon water quality and consistent use of the prefilter attachment. This Katadyn Hiker™ Microfilter uses a 129-square inch pleated glassfiber media filter that removes everything down to 0.3 microns, which takes care of cysts, bacteria, protozoa and giardia. The compact design and easy pump configuration made it the "best by a long shot" and tops in all rankings in a comprehensive review of all water systems by Backpacker Magazine. We have to agree. If you're pumping water for a large group, consider the slightly-larger-but-more-efficient Katadyn Guide&153; Microfilter.
