The Katadyn Base Camp Water Filter is a gravity water filter that quickly and easily provides water for your group! It provides up to 2.5 gallons of water in 15 minutes. The best chioce for families, group trips, and base camps.
Simple to use - just fill it up with untreated water and hang it near your camp site. Gravity does the work. This will minimize your trips back and forth to the water site, and avoids the work of a pump-filter.
Gravity, the physical law and culprit behind heavy packs and tired shoulders, has never been a backpacker's friend. Katadyn has now shown us that gravity isn't all that bad. A gravity water filter is actually an easy and efficient way to purify large amounts of water.
The Katadyn Base Camp filter uses nature's force, gravity, to filter water anywhere. Simply fill up the included 2.6-gallon bag and hang it from a tree. Gravity will take care of the rest. No pumping involved, leaving hands free to set up camp, plan a route or apply Icy Hot to those shoulders.
The Katdyn BaseCamp water purifier is a member of Katadyn's exclusive BackCountry Series. The Katadyn Base Camp's cleanable Hiker PRO cartridge removes Bacteria, Giardia and Cryptosporidium to EPA standards and the Activated Carbon Core reduces unpleasant tastes and odors from the water.If you need a Katadyn Base Camp replacement cartridge, just order the same one as used for the Katadyn Hiker Pro.
