So glad you got one of these. I've been using mine for must be 15 years now and its still going strong. If you used this filter for 4 litres of water a day you'd get over 34 years of use out of it. The only thing to beware of is not to let it freeze ever. If I suspect below zero temps I wont even leave the filter in my kit in the back of the truck. Money well spent.Loved the video.

This was probably the Best review of any product that I've ever watched!
I have one of these, have had it for like 15yrs and haven't used it still...I know that's Lame!
Great video, thanks.

[pisotones]

I have mine for 33 years now and still works like a charm. Good stuff!

Best demonstration on YouTube. I bought one last week. It takes some courage to use it haha, but I mainly have it for possible emergency situations.

[RebeccaLewis-qx]

I’d never heard of this filter before, and I feel like I learned so much about it!

[RSLtreecare]

I really like your review. I have been looking for a good water filter and learning something about the best methods of use.

[twobytwo]

Great video, good/simple explanations.

[tonesmith]

Great review, I needed to brush up on its use as I havent used it in years but Im going on a back country hunting trip with my boys and a friend and this will be our go to filter. This thing is a work of art and will indeed last a lifetime.

We have plastic filters but I trust this one the most.

Hi Andrea. Thank you so much for a really great and informative video. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel

[SpareSpacesuit]

great video, thanks! Also, where was this river? Its so beautiful. I must visit sometime.

[gregkacsandi]

Great video. You were pointing out that it doesn’t filter viruses, which was a disappointment for a filter of this caliber. Have you used one that also filters viruses and operates in a similar manner (i.e., no power needed)? Thanks

I just got mine. A first. I have a feeling though that this filter is mostly for children of the 80s. Back then it was a sensation. Today there are many and better options and many a hiker drift to those.

Hi, Andrea. I like your Katadyn reviews. I have the older (white) Katadyn Pocket filter. My wife and I used it frequently. Do you know if Katadyn's newer pump head design fits on the older Pocket Filter, we bought ours in the mid nineteen eighties. On ours, you can't attach a tygon outflow tube to the outflow spout which means you have to be careful about aiming all the time. Thanks again.

I'm wondering what water sources you have to be wary of viruses that won't be filtered by this product. Is it likely to be safely potable if you filter water from a rain barrel?

[jorgedmartinezmayol]

Is there a hand held or portable water purification system that can remove chemicals, heavy metals, and viruses?

[improvetheworldnow]

Thanks for making this video. I just got a katadyn pocket filter also but the water that is coming out from running already filtered tap water theough it has a very strong unpleasant chemical-like smell and is extremely bubbly (it has no smell before going through the katadyn filter). I've cleaned it thoroughly and applied lubricant to the threads but no change. It seems like the smell dissipates somewhat if I let the filtered water sit out afterwards but I don't feel comfortable drinking the water that comes out of this because of how strong the smell it adds to the water is. Have you encountered this issue?

[FlatRangeOperator]

Ok, I grew mildew on mine after a year. What should I do to clean it ?

[rayrobertson]

rinse out at home with cold or hot water or does it not matter at all? My understanding is you absolutely DO NOT use soap to clean it

[iancarson]

Outlet hose bag isn't the most durable.Get a couple of silicone sandwich bags, mark one as
DIRTY (Red Ink) and the other CLEAN (Blue Ink) Obviously you can use your own colours but for most people Red is associated with danger, Blue is associated with drinkable water.
