Review Summary
Todd is discussing the Katadyn Hiker water filter in this review. He states that he has used this filter on every elk hunting trip he has been on for the past seven years and that it is his favorite microfilter. He explains that the filter is made in Switzerland, is lightweight, and filters out bacteria, protozoa, pesticides, herbicides, and bad tastes from water. He notes that the filter has a high water flow, is easy to pump, and has an ergonomic handle design. Todd says that the manufacturer claims that the filter has a six month or 200 gallon cleaning capacity before it needs to be changed, but he has only needed to change the cartridge once in seven years. Todd also mentions that the filter fits onto Nalgene bottles and hydration bladders, and demonstrates how to use it to filter cold water from a stream. Finally, he notes that in the seven years of use he has never gotten sick from drinking water filtered with the Katadyn Hiker.
