So glad you got one of these. I've been using mine for must be 15 years now and its still going strong. If you used this filter for 4 litres of water a day you'd get over 34 years of use out of it. The only thing to beware of is not to let it freeze ever. If I suspect below zero temps I wont even leave the filter in my kit in the back of the truck. Money well spent.Loved the video.
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment. Yeah, this filter is amazing, but I do wish it wasn't quite this heavy. I rarely use it for that reason because I'm often out with my backpack. I wasn't sure about the freezing part and didn't include it in my video. It makes sense that it won't work and that it could possibly damage the filter, even. A friend actually specifically asked me about that after watching the video, so I can tell her your answer now :D
Did you know that little trick with the contact lens container? That might work for you as well, and it adds pretty much no weight at all. It's so easy to keep track of these little caps that way. Anyway, good to hear from you again. :)
@@adventuresandreams Your great lens cap idea came to late for me. I lost those caps first time out many years ago. I only remembered losing them when I seen them on yours. I leave mine home most of the time now because of the weight and instead I use the BeFree filters/bag you also demo in a previous vid but anytime weight isn't an issue its my go to. BTW the best price I ever seen on a replacement filter has always been during sales at Campsaver online in the unlikely event you'd ever need one.
@@boutthere3374 Ah, that's too bad about your caps. I bet Katadyn would send replacements if you want them. They have excellent customer service. But yeah, the BeFree filter is my go-to filter as well, but it's good to hear about the sales at Campsaver if I ever need one.
Completely useless when you can't use it during ❄️ winter or very cold conditions...which is 6-12 months, depending on where you are.
High altitude also affects it's use.
The weight of it is the same as a winter down jacket...so essentially kills the point of carrying lightweight down clothing, or keeping pack ligh during heat of summer treks.
The obsessive avoidance of placing it on the ground is unessasary...because you could drop a sandwich in the dirt and eat it without problems.
I prefer to simply drink unfiltered water 💦 direct from the streams, rivers and lakes.
@@Globetrotter-1 You might be missing the point of this filter. It and almost all other filters are useless in winter but thankfully all that white stuff all over the place can be melted for water just keep in mind butane canisters are also useless in winter so best to have a good liquid fuel stove or wood. I wont name the ongoing disasters right now but if I had to rush out of my house and time was of the essence would I prefer to take 50 or so Katadyn Befree filters or one Pocket?
Brilliant review! The best on UA-cam
Oh wow! Thank you so much. That means a lot to me. :)
I’d never heard of this filter before, and I feel like I learned so much about it!
It was hyped a good bit a few years ago, but I think it's just a bit too heavy for backpacking, unfortunately, unless you share the weight with others. I can bring it sometime, though, if you want to see :) Thanks for watching!
Great video, good/simple explanations.
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment. I’m glad you liked it. :)
Hi Andrea. Thank you so much for a really great and informative video. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment. I'm glad you found it informative :)
Great video!!!!
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you like it. Do you have one or are you thinking about buying this filter? It's definitely worth it :)
Super nice video, well done!
Thanks so much! :)
Thanks :-)
You're welcome! :)
Ok, I grew mildew on mine after a year. What should I do to clean it ?
Hi there, thanks for watching my video. Ufff, mildew. That actually happened to me as well, but I didn't include it in the video. I contacted Katadyn customer support, and here is what they said:
You can use a little bit of bleach, diluted for 1L or 1 quart to 2 teaspoons of bleach.
You can pump that through the whole thing or just use that as part of your scrubbing.
And then make sure to allow the ceramic element to thoroughly dry out.
I tried just pumping it through and scrubbing it, but I still had some spots, so I let it sit overnight in the diluted bleach solution. All the spots were gone the next day. I pumped fresh water through MANY times before I felt safe to use it again, but Katadyn reassured me that a diluted bleach solution doesn't hurt anything.
Just a quick thing, I used to not disassemble it completely, and that's how I got some mildew as well. You really need to take it completely apart, like I show in the video, and let it sit for many days.
I hope that helps. Please let me know if you had any success. :)
@@adventuresandreams Thanks much!! Subscribed!
Thank you! That means a lot to me. I’m glad I could help :)
Hi, Andrea. I like your Katadyn reviews. I have the older (white) Katadyn Pocket filter. My wife and I used it frequently. Do you know if Katadyn's newer pump head design fits on the older Pocket Filter, we bought ours in the mid nineteen eighties. On ours, you can't attach a tygon outflow tube to the outflow spout which means you have to be careful about aiming all the time. Thanks again.
Hi there, thanks for watching my video. To be honest, I'm not sure if the pump head would fit. I've only ever had this filter, along with the carbon filter and BeFree. Perhaps you are near an REI or other outdoor store to ask there? Or you can always contact the company directly. www.katadyngroup.com/us/en/about-us/Contact Good luck, and please let me know what you find out. It might be helpful for other viewers as well. :)
@@adventuresandreams Thanks. I'll contact Katadyn Canada. The filter replacement looks like it'll work. I checked my Pocket Filter last night and was working fine. I also have the spare parts kit, I forgot I had that. I will post when I find out about pump/filter replacement. Thanks for taking the time. Nice channel you have. Gary
@@filmic1 Thanks so much, Gary. It'll be interesting to hear from you. Good luck!
@@adventuresandreams Katadyn Canada got back to me pronto. Yes, the current model of the Pocket Filter replacement filter will fit the older white model, that I have. I sent them a photo of mine. Hope that helps. Katadyn's reply, below.
"Hi Gary,
Thank you for your email.
Yes, it will absolutely fit your Pocket version.
Best regards,
Sarah Evans"
@@filmic1 Ah, that's great news for you. Thanks for letting me know. These filters will last a lifetime, and it's good that you can easily replace the filters. Happy adventures to you :)
Is there a hand held or portable water purification system that can remove chemicals, heavy metals, and viruses?
Hi Jorge, thanks for watching my video and for your comments. Katadyn actually has a filter that does it all, removing bacteria, viruses, and chemicals with a combo filter. It's the Katadyn Vario. If you would like, you can buy it with my affiliate link here: amzn.to/4a00xdC
I have not tried it, but knowing Katadyn, it is going to be top quality, and to be honest, If I had the choice now, I would buy it before getting the rather heavy Pocket filter. Let me know if you buy it. I would love to find out how well it works :) Thanks again, and have some amazing adventures out there!
