How it works:

The Katadyn Hiker PRO Replacement Cartridge uses a 0.2-micron glass fiber element to physically block harmful bacteria and protozoa. As water is pumped through the filter, an activated carbon core reduces unpleasant tastes and chemical contaminants like chlorine. The cartridge is designed for quick replacement with secure O-rings to prevent leaks. Used with Katadyn Hiker PRO or Hiker water filters, it ensures clean, fresh-tasting water in backcountry or emergency situations.

FAQs:

How do I know when to replace the cartridge?

Replace the cartridge when the flow rate noticeably slows down or after filtering approximately 1,150 liters.

Is this compatible with the standard Katadyn Hiker (non-PRO)?

Yes, it fits both the Katadyn Hiker and Hiker PRO models.

Does it remove viruses from water?
