The large size was a bit surprising, but otherwise functional

I've played cheap and slow before. I should have invested in something decent right away.

Has been used less, but works as it should when needed

Great water purifier.

Excellent water filter which is easily maintainable even outdoors. I was happy when it filtered more than 30 L of sediment rich tea colored water without clogging up. However as a safety measure I added a 20 micrometer filter cloth around the inlet. It is a bit bulky and heavy.

Effective for cleaning emergency water without heating

I am happy for this product and the possibilities it offers. It works great. It is also good that spare parts are available. Thanks!

Included on all longer trips. You can easily take water from almost anywhere. Quick to use and the bottle fills quickly.

A working puller and a solid one considering the service life.

I don't have any real experience with filtering natural waters yet. Tested at home with tap water, at least it didn't get dirty after the first liters. The first bottles have to be run through before actual use, the active carbon filter gets quite a bit of dust into the water at first. The device is easy to use and it can certainly clean the water for several people quite quickly. Update: Tested in autumn at UKK park. The waters there are otherwise clean, but filter everything. Filtered a few liters of water for cooking and drinking from the little stream flowing on the edge of the swamp, no side tastes and the water is absolutely clear. During the trip, using the filter didn't become difficult, but the water could be filtered without much effort. With the included accessories, the ceramic filter can be cleaned if necessary if it starts to get clogged.

Relatively easy to care for. Purifies water at a commendable rate. In the past, I have used MSR's Water Works and the Mini Works cleaners, as well as MSR's HyperFlow added. Works are mercilessly slower and have no carbon. Admittedly, these are bomb-proof. Hyperflow is fast and small again until it goes totally clogged. The water also often tastes bad. In addition, it does not withstand clapping or freezing. As a result, the Katadyn Vario is now better. As fast as Hyperflow and almost as durable as MSR works.

The water filter worked better than expected and was easy to use. Pumping was quick and effortless, and the lake water was completely clear and tasteless. When water was pumped from the small pond, the taste was a bit musty, but it didn't bother me. Cleaning is quite easy and the instructions are clear. Sometimes it seems that it is difficult to screw the different parts of the filter into place or that they won't settle into place no matter how hard you try. Good purchase, I recommend!

it is quite big, my surprise.

Worked for a week's hike (in addition, a filter bag was used in the suction head, which was necessary to prevent clogging)

First-class quality, highly recommend.

Works for sure like a train toilet! It is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the device well before the first actual test and it is definitely a test run, ie the filters should be rinsed. Appropriately sized and light enough to be carried as an emergency.

Hi, the Katadyn Vario filter was delivered super fast and the price including delivery is also unbeatable online;) The filter itself is irreplaceable for hikes or emergencies! Simply great

Everything went very well and fast shipping. Faultless goods. Thank you very much.

Seems like a quality product

Works well as long as the supply hose stays closed. Facilitates water supply and no need to be so precise about the water intake. The drinking bottles quickly got full. Nalgene 1l fits directly into the threads.

Proper filter, and does not press the impossible. The old filter is Nerox, but it is very slow. I don't think you can get them anywhere anymore. This works and you can get spare parts.

Product not yet tested, I plan to use it on hikes.

Works well!

Even the stagnant bog is completely odorless and tasteless, directly potable water. No need to cook first. The color stays yes but does not hurt. An absolute product especially for a longer trip.

Good shopping based on one trip. The water filtered through the pump was clear and had no taste problems. Packed in a reasonably small space and the water pumping speed is quite adequate.

— Show original

After a couple of uses, it still feels like a good and fast filter. Very easy to use.

— Show original

Cleans well and thanks to the crank for pumping finds a good rhythm and movement. The filter should be serviced a little during the trip (keep a bear tongue and silicone with you). At least for its own use, the ceramic filter became quite clogged and the flow of water became sluggish. I personally got another ceramic filter for this guy so that in the future I will be able to filter the camp water of 2-4 people without maintenance breaks.

Convenient water purifier for longer trips.

The inlet hose bracket came off during the first flush of the device, which does not give high expectations for field use. The end result was a broken device and a sour taste in the mouth.

A very good device for several Lapland trips. Makes a large amount of water fast and very good-looking. I even tried Suolampi in southern Finland, and works even. Not all stains are removed from the water.

Again, I was sold here not waiting and bought the product elsewhere Ä. The product itself has been in really active use throughout this year and there is no bad criticism.

— Show original

Works as it should. Initial cleaning should be done carefully to allow carbon dust to escape from the filter before use.

Works very well, nice to have access to clean water without having to carry it on the hike.

High quality and convenient product.

Really flexible water purifier, about 30 pumps for 1 liter of water

Very high quality product. Has now been in use for almost a year and has guaranteed high-quality and clean drinking water on trips. Wilderness's top friend!

absolutely perfect just as expected.

Easy to use and fast water purifier. Good water.

Excellent device. Has been involved in many hikes and kayaking trips. The conceivable surface water of the yankee became completely odorless and tasteless drinking water. Strong recommendation.

Active. Maybe a little big / heavy, but very practical.

This is a top product, easy to use, frost resistant, lightweight. Not to be afraid of size, is also quick to purify a large amount of water.

Easy to use, fast, at least makes the lake water clear and tasteless.

Works great. You should pump calmly so that the device works as designed.

— Show original

Easy to use, compact size, travels effortlessly with you and clean water always available.

The lake water and fasterflow mode that was the factory setting ruined the filter after a few uses

— Show original

An excellent cabinet that can be recommended. Having been on several hiking and kayaking trips, the waters for 2 people are treated moderately painlessly. Even the humus-containing surface water of a watery yankee became clear of good tap water with no off-flavors. On a week-long trip, occasionally requires a ceramic filter to rattle with the accompanying tongue of the bear. Notice the need when the flow seems to slow down. At the end of the trip, cleaning and maintenance (soda water rinsing, seal lubrication).
