Katadyn Guide Filter
The most efficient microfilter -- more water with less effort!

Technical Features

Guide Filter Purpose and Action The Katadyn Guide Microfilter meets industry standards for reduction of Klebsiella terrigena bacteria (99.9999%) and protozoan cysts like Giardia and Cryptosproidium (99.9%). It's designed for easy operation, high efficiency and delivers more water with less effort. Ideal for base camps, the smooth action pump and anti-slip base make it easy to fill even large containers. The Katadyn Guide does not eliminate viruses. The modular prefilter consists of two components: a strainer and a weight. The prefilter is important because it prevents large particles (larger than 130 microns) from entering the water system. No setup is required - the prefilter comes attached to the end of the input hose. The cushioned, anti-slip base steadies the pump during operation, especially when pumping on slippery and uneven surfaces. Removable filter protector extends cartridge life in challenging situations. Cartridge capacity depends on water quality. The Katadyn Guide was tested at 800 liters and found effective for removal of Klebsiella terrigena bacteria and protozoan cysts like Giardia and Cryptosporidium. If cartridge is used beyond this level, microorganism reduction could be less. For maximum performance, cartridge should be replaced when unit becomes hard to pump. Low maintenance design -- no cleaning required. Comes with bottle adapter for direct connection to Nalgene bottles.
