How It Works:

The Katadyn Hiker Pro Hand Pump uses a manual pumping action to draw water from natural sources like lakes, rivers, and streams, filtering it through an activated carbon core and microfilter. This process removes harmful bacteria and protozoa, while the activated carbon core reduces unpleasant tastes and odors, providing you with clean, safe drinking water. The quick connect fittings make it easy to attach the filter to your water bottle or hydration system, and the transparent design lets you monitor the filtration process.
