Review & Description
Katadyn Siphon Microfilter, The Katadyn Siphon turns any water container into a gravity-fed microfiltration system. Simply place the ceramic filter (hose attached) into the container, place the container on higher ground, and let the siphon action take care of the rest. That's it! Filters 1.2 gallons/hour. The Siphon is a member of Katadyn's exclusive Endurance Series, which basically means this filter will last forever. Its silver impregnated, cleanable ceramic element will clean up to 5,000 gallons of water. The Siphon also works as a replacement element for the Katadyn Camp system. Specifications: - Weight: 16oz - Purifier: No - Filter Construction: Cleanable ceramic filter element, 80 inch hose, measuring gauge, cleaning pad and on/off valve - Adapter Base: Silicon rubber hose - Gravity Flow: Yes - Recommended Use: Camping, hiking, base-camp, scouting - Field Maintainable: Yes - Flow Rate: 5L/hour - Height: 6.5", Mfg No: 1120070, Manufacturer: Katadyn, Warranty: 2 year warrantyThe Siphon makes it easy to obtain a supply of drinking water for large groups without the use of a pump. No need to connect it to a tap: the Siphon can simply be placed in a container filled with water--at a higher elevation--or be used with a water bag like the Katadyn Camp. The ceramic deep filter removes bacteria, protozoa and other disease-causing agents. Unlike disposable filters, the ceramic can be cleaned several times.
Ceramic filters have a micro porous structure with impregnated silver which delays the growth of bacteria. The pore-size of Katadyn ceramic filters is 0.2 micron (0.0002 mm). Bacteria range in size from 0.2 to 5 micron and, like protozoa (1 to 15 micron), are efficiently filtered out. Ceramic filters can be mechanically regenerated and the filter capacity is measurable.
Key Features:
- Filtration by gravity is extremely convenient--no pumping or other use of strength necessary
- Top performance--provides enough water even for groups of 10
- Light (0.5 kg) and compact size
- Cleanable filter ceramic suitable for clear and cloudy water
- Measuring gauge indicates when the filter element is used up and when it should be changed
Why Treat Water?
