Katadyn Vario Microfilter
Katadyn?« Vario Microfilter's two-mode design lets you opt between fast filtration or extended lifetime of the primary filter (up to 500 gallons!).

Dual-piston technology minimizes the effort required to pump water through the system. Unit attaches directly to standard, wide-mouth bottles (not included) for filling; output hose accommodates hydration systems and large containers. Includes two bags of replaceable carbon, prefilter, cleaning pad, lubricant and carry bag.
