Adaptable Technology for Every Water Source
The Katadyn Vario's dual-mode operation sets it apart from the competition. In "Longer Life" mode, water is pre-filtered through a ceramic disk, ensuring optimal performance in turbid conditions with an output of about 1 liter per minute. Switch to "Faster Flow" mode, and water bypasses the ceramic pre-filter, flowing directly to the glass fiber membrane for an impressive output of up to 2 liters per minute - perfect for clear water sources.
Designed for Efficiency and Comfort
Katadyn understands that pumping water shouldn't be a workout. The Vario's dual piston mechanism ensures a continuous water flow with minimal effort, while the rubber base provides a secure stand on any surface. The integrated bottle thread fits directly onto Nalgene wide-mouth bottles, streamlining your filtration process.
Comprehensive Purification
The Katadyn Vario doesn't just filter - it purifies. By removing bacteria, protozoa, cysts, algae, spores, and sediments, it ensures your water is safe to drink. The added activated carbon granulate goes a step further, reducing chemicals and improving both taste and odor. It's not just about hydration - it's about enjoyable hydration.
