FACTS

• Anyone who's outdoors encounters different water conditions every day. Sometimes it's clear, sometimes cloudy, sometimes it smells chemically; that's where a water filter with different modes comes in handy.
• This Katadyn pump filter uses ceramic as a cleanable dirt filter and fiberglass as a microbiological filter with low pump resistance.
• The ceramic disc can be switched on in “LONGER LIFE” mode when the water is cloudy.
• In “FASTER FLOW” mode, the glass fiber filter is directly flown and the pumping capacity is increased to up to 2 l/min.
• Replaceable activated carbon granules reduce chemicals and bad taste.
• A dual pumping mechanism ensures continuous performance with minimal effort.
• Replacement filter elements are available individually (ceramic disc, glass fiber filter with activated carbon, activated carbon granules).
• The Vario is the winner of the “Industry Award 2006” and the “ISPO Outdoor Award Summer 2006”.
