Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Katadyn Combi Microfilter combines a silver impregnated ceramic element and a refillable, activated carbon cartridge. It is effective against bacteria and protozoa and also reduces chemicals and bad taste. With the optional "PLUS" package, the Combi can be connected to a water faucet for multifunctional use in campers, cottages or boats.
Key Features:
- 2-stage filter (active carbon, ceramic) not only removes disease-causing agents, but also chemicals and improves the taste of the drinking water
- Simple change to 1-stage operation (only ceramic without activated carbon stage) reduces use of active carbon granules and ensures maximum use of capacity
- Long lasting and extremely reliable
- Tap add-on kit "Plus" offers simple connection to a tap in a kitchen, caravan, camper or boat--the only water filter for both indoor and outdoor use
- Cleanable ceramic filter element--also filters very cloudy water
- Measuring gauge supplied--indicates when the filter element should be changed
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.
Activated carbon is used for its ability to reduce harmful organic and inorganic substances in the water. It removes unpleasant tastes, odors, chlorine, pesticides (lindane, DDT) and trihalomethanes (THMs). These substances adhere to the large surface area of the activated carbon. Activated carbon granulate cannot be regenerated.
Specifications:
- Technology: 0.2 micron ceramic depth filter and activated carbon
- Output: ca. 1 liters/minute
- Cartridge Capacity: up to 50,000 l (depending on water quality)
- Carbon Capacity: up to 400 l (2 fillings)
- Weight: ca. 580 g
- Size: 27 x 6 cm (10.6 x 2.4 inches)
- Includes: Prefilter, bottle adaptor and carry bag
Why Treat Water?

i have had my katadyn combi since 1995 it gives you not only safe drinking water but good tasting with the carbon filter and it's cheaper then the katadyn pocket filter made of plastic but it's really tough. i found if you use a coffee filter on the hose the ceramic filter lasts longer

Amazon Verified Purchase
My wife and I bought this for back-country camping in the UP of Michigan and it worked awesome. The filter is very sturdy and well built. I was not worried about "breaking it" when we were using it. It also is fairly simple design and straightforward to take apart. Plus, it provided good tasting water!!
We are looking forward to taking it to Isle Royale and giving it a good workout there!
UPDATE 6/3/10 - We have used this filter multiple times now (Porkie's SP in MI, Isle Royale, Pictured Rocks NLS, backpacking in Utah) - it has stood the test of repeat use over a few years now!
Continues to work well for our backpacking trips. No issues with it, as long as you take care of it (clean it after every trip; when you put new charcoal in it, clean the ceramic filter after pumping water through it; use a coffee filter on the end to help keep the ceramic in better shape). Good product, I like the design of the pump. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a good filter.

The Katadyn Combi gives you the filter life of the Katadyn Pocket for a lot less money. True it isn't made of all metal, but it is sturdy. The bottle top adapter works well and it is easy to disassemble. Great product.

Works GREAT!!
We regularly train in an area that has a few untreated wells intended for horses. While very clear, it is nasty sulfur water with God knows what else in it. Read more

Great water filter, I'd recommend it to anyone going backpacking and camping. We do use it together with a Steripen, though, just to make sure. Read more

Excellent!
A quality product designed to do exactly what it is described to do. However, not meant to be your primary source during survival times. Look for something more for that. Read more
