Vario Water Filter by Katadyn®

Canada's Source for Light and Powerful Filters

Designed for small groups, the Katadyn Vario is a powerful and efficient companion in a lightweight package. Its Dual Piston Technology allows the Vario water filter to quickly treat up to 2 liters of water per minute, with minimal effort. You can choose between a higher output of 2 liters per minute or a lifespan-extending 1-liter per minute output. With its trio of filters, the Vario scrubs water to confidently remove harmful contaminants. Simply activate the ceramic pre-filter to conquer dirtier water, so the durable glass fiber pleated filter inside lasts even longer. The active charcoal also gets rid of odors, ensuring that you can enjoy fresh and tasty refreshment that you can trust.

Key Features of the Vario Water Filter

• In the great outdoors, you need a water filter that can handle all conditions, whether it's clear or dirty water - the Katadyn Vario is adjustable for different conditions.
• The new Katadyn Microfilter uses ceramic as a cleanable dirt shield and glass fiber for microbiological filtration with minimal pump resistance.
• In “LONGER LIFE” mode, the turbid water is first pre-filtered through the ceramic disk.
• When operating in “FASTER FLOW” mode, the water is directed straight to the glassfiber membrane, increasing the water flow to up to 2 l/min.
• Replaceable activated carbon granulate reduces chemicals and improves taste and odor.
• A dual piston mechanism provides continuous water flow with minimal effort.
• Replacement filters are sold separately (ceramic disk, glass fiber with AC, activated carbon granulate refills).
• Winner of the “Industry Award 2006” and the “ISPO Outdoor Award Summer 2006”.
