Katadyn VarioThe intelligent microfilter The Vario combines individual efficiency with the simplest possible handling. The technology it uses consists of three filter levels: Anyone who needs up to two litres of drinking water per minute can use the glass fibre and active charcoal filter. If the water is extremely cloudy, the ceramic pre-filter can be fitted in a moment in order to extend the service life of the glass fibre filter. The Vario is compatible with standard outdoor bottles and hydration bladders. Technology AntiClog Technology with 0,3 micron glassfiber (no cleaning needed) Activated carbon granulate 1,0 micron ceramic prefilter (cleanable) Output ~ 2 l/min Capacity (depending on water quality) 2'000 l (Glassfiber) 400 l (ActivCarbon) Weight 460 g Dimensions 18.5 x 7.5 cm In “longer life” mode, water passes through all three filter elements at a rate of up to 1 liter per minute. As the name implies, this mode lengthens the effective life of the pleated filter by first forcing water through the ceramic prefilter. When used in dirty water, the ceramic filter catches the worst of the contaminants. The idea is that this prefiltering will keep the pleated filter from clogging prematurely. In “faster flow” mode, the Vario can treat up to 2 liters per minute, bypassing the ceramic prefilter and relying on the pleated filter. In areas where the water is mostly free of suspended solids, the pleated filter can work quickly without fear of clogging. Switching between modes is straightforward: just unscrew the top of the pump to reveal the ceramic disk housing. A twist of the housing switches between “longer life” and “faster flow” – the mode names are molded into the plastic housing and the selected mode is visible through a cutout in the filter body. In both modes, the filtered water also passes through the Vario’s carbon core, which removes chemical contaminates. All three filter elements – ceramic, pleated, and carbon – are replaceable individually, and the ceramic prefilter can be cleaned in the field. The Vario has a couple other innovative design features, most notably a dual-piston pump design which moves water through the filter on both the up and down stokes, providing increased flow into the filter and a smooth, consistent pumping action. The piston and handle assembly breaks down easily for cleaning. On the output end, the Vario will mate with the threads on a standard Nalgene bottle. Alternatively you can attach the hose from your hydration bladder, with or without removing the filter’s bottom cap.
