He Katelyn Drip gravity water Filter is a Self-Contained, stand alone gravity Filter. The Katelyn gravity free-standing gravity Filter has 3 Ceramic and carbon filters and a 10-liter water container for large quantities of water. It’s ideal for the water supply for camps, cabins and homes without running water. The Katelyn Drip gravity dual filtration element for the Drip offers Ceramic and activated carbon filtration.The Katadyn TRK Drip Gravidyn free-standing gravity filter features a 10 liter water container for large quantities of water. It’s ideal for the water supply for camps, cabins and homes without running water. This Gravidyn version comes with three combined ceramic and activated carbon filter elements.
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 Output: ca. 4 liters/hour Cartridge Capacity: Up to 150’000 l (depending on water quality) Carbon Capacity: Recommended to change after 6 months Weight: ca. 3.3 kg Size: 25 x 45 cm (9.8 x 17.7 inches)
Why Treat Water?
A crystal-clear stream or lake usually contains microorganisms that can make you sick. Water contaminants like protozoa, bacteria and viruses, can cause serious illness. Optimize your travel preparation and use a portable drinking water system from Katadyn.

The valve works fine, has a lock-open feature I’m using this for regular chlorinated city water. I can no longer taste or smell the chlorine. The plastic on this is very rugged, yet flexible. I think you’d need a sledgehammer in order to break it. The plastic has no smells, not even when new. There’s no recycling code on the plastic. The valve works fine, has a lock-open feature, and is drip free. I’d recommend upgrading it to…
Bought for emergency use – now using it every day Recently bought the Katadyn Gravidyn for my self-reliance/emergency kit, after we had a one-week “boil water advisory” following a hurricane. That experience just got me thinking that an extra layer of filtration would be a good idea, both for short-term and potential longer-term problems with the water supply.I was on the fence between the Gravidyn and the Ceradyn. The Ceradyn uses ceramic-only filters, which as I understand it, are effective filtration against biological hazards…
Best all-purpose water filter for travel This is the best water filter! I take it with us to the cottage. I took one on a trip to a tropical island where the tap water was not drinkable. This filter cleans water in two ways: First, the ceramic cartridges filter out particles, bacteria, fungi and all living organisms except viruses. Secondly the carbon cores remove lead, VOCs, and a plethora of other contaminants including bad flavors. The resulting water is fantastic. This is a big filter and will produce lots of water every day —…
