The Katadyn Vario is the perfect water purifying device for exploring the wilder places in the world. A 3 stage filter gets rid of almost 100% of the nasties* that may be lurking in your water supply (*not Viruses).
The Vario combines individual efficiency with the simplest possible handling. The technology it uses consists of three filter levels: a high-performance glass fibre filter, a ceramic pre-filter that can be adjusted individually according to the cloudiness of the water, and active charcoal for eliminating odours. Anyone who needs up to two litres of drinking water per minute can use the glass fibre and active charcoal filter. If the water is extremely cloudy, the ceramic pre-filter can be fitted in a moment in order to extend the service life of the glass fibre filter. The Vario is compatible with most standard outdoor bottles and hydration bladders.
In mode “LONGER LIFE” water is first prefiltered throught the ceramic disk which improves the lifespan of the main filter. When operating in mode “FASTER FLOW” the water is directed straight to the glassfibre membrane, increasing the water flow to up to 2 l/min.
This special offer pack comes complete with a 1.5 litre Nalgene bottle that can be screwed directly onto the base of the Vraio filter.
