I used my disc on the Appalachian Trail for eight days and it worked great, especially since the water sources were low and full of dirt.

  • Price
Cons
  • Lots of Stuff

Looks like a coffee can

The product was not what I expected. The product may be for some, but not for us. The main problem was that the coffee can-like handle couldn't be locked or unlocked completely. It was difficult to open the door manually.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • too stupid

Spare drive for my water purifier

I needed a backup drive for my water purifier so I got this one. Great water conditioner, but everything wears out, so the old adage that two is one and one is nothing led me to a backup filter.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Some bugs

works perfectly! But clogs up fairly quickly if not pre-filtered

Product works as advertised Love the Vario triple filtration. I use a bandana or some kind of cloth tied to the end of the pre-filter to keep particles out of the ceramic filter as it clogs fairly easily. It is easy to clean with a green sponge. I always carry an extra ceramic disc with me, just in case. Buying ceramic discs is cheaper than buying a glass filter. Haven't used this filter in cloudy water. Overall the filter works great as the charcoal filters out any bad taste.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Nothing here

Replacement Pre-Filter Disc for Vario

Katadyn is a great filter and these discs help keep debris out of the filter media. It is important to understand that filtering water with sediment will drastically reduce the life of the filter, since this device (Vario) is actually a PURIFIER. I have now used it to purify really nasty water and it has worked great. When you're on the go, sometimes this is your only option. But it kills the filter. This ceramic "pre-filter" disk is cleaned with a green sponge (or if mine went really bad I…

Pros
  • Water Filtering and Softener
Cons
  • I will add later

Inexpensive, easy fix for slow filtration

First, the Vario is a great water filter. I do a lot of camping and hiking and have had three or four different brands over the years. I also currently have a Pur model, but prefer the Katadyn because of its ergonomic handling and selectable speed depending on the desired filter service life. This ceramic disc is one of three spare parts for the Katadyn Vario filter, along with the activated carbon filters and the micro-filter itself. Of the three, this is probably the easiest to replace and…

Pros
  • tools and housewares
Cons
  • boring packaging
