1BreakableFeb 12, 2010
I bought this for survival when no drinkable water is available. I saw comments before that this is unbreakable. It is not true. Most parts are aluminium but the casing is really just flimsy plastic. If this could be converted to an aluminium sleeve, then this will be the best you ever get. I drop the filter by accident and the casing had a small chip. You think you can trust this thing for survival? I am now thinking of machining my own steel casing to replace this sleeve. So much for 200+ bucks.

5Katadyn Pocket Water MicrofilterJan 16, 2010
Great Product - I would recommend it after doing lots of research. It's one of the better products out there and has a lifetime warranty from Katadyn against defects in materials and workmanship.
From the Pamphlet:
"Your Katadyn Pocket Microfilter comes with a lifetime warranty from the date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship. Should your Katadyn Pocket prove defective within that period from the date of purchase, return it to the Katadyn retailer from who it was purchased...Please retain your purchase receipt as proof of date purchase..." so be sure to keep your receipt somewhere safe (just in case)

It comes with two hoses (one input hose and one output in it's own bag to prevent cross-contamination), two green scrubbing pads, a measuring device to let you measure when you need to replace the ceramic filter, lubricant and two replacement o-rings (one in one size, and another in smaller size (which I have yet to figure out where it goes)), and a bottle "spring-clip" which allows you to hook the hose to a bottle or reservoir. Make sure you put the "bottle-clip" on the hose before you put the plastic cap on as I had a bit of an adventure getting it on. It comes in a carrying-case to keep it all together.

After reading the instructions you will discover that you need to do an initial pumping to get the "ceramic dust" out of the system. After doing that I taste-tested the water and there was no funky taste or smell. It was crystal clear and had no odor whatsoever.

I own this product and would would highly recommend putting it high on my consideration list if I were shopping for a water-filter.

5Katdyn for life!Nov 22, 2009
Amazing filter. Solid construction, takes a beating and just keeps pumping. It's a tool so it does take some care and feeding on occasion but I expect I'll be using this filter for 20 years... it's just that solid.

5Katadyn Pocket is the last filter you will ever buyOct 19, 2009
I previously owned a Katadyn Hiker Pro Katadyn Hiker PRO Water Microfilter and a Katadyn VarioKatadyn Vario Multi Flow Water Microfilter. Both had small plastic parts break in the middle of extended wilderness trips. For the Hiker, the input barb broke off and for the Vario the pump axis broke. I cannot say that I am hard on my equipment but tools that are made for the outdoors should withstand the occasional bump. Fortunately, the vendor took both itmes back for a full refund.

I decided to invest a bit more in a filter that I would not have to worry about and sprang for the Katadyn Pocket Water Microfilter. I am not disappointed with my purchase. I only had a chance to use it once so far, but I can tell that it performs beautifully. All parts that could possibly break are either stainless steel. It is about three times as expensive as the Vario, but from the fact sheet you should get 25 times the filter capacity (2,000 liters for Vario vs. 50,000 liters for the Pocket). It should pay for itself!

Last but not least: I really liked the ergonomics of the Vario, especially with a plastic bottle attached to the bottom. I find the Pocket even better, works like an oldfashioned bicycle pump.

Conclusion: this will be the last filter I will have to buy.
