## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Sometimes Extra Weight is Worth
  

*by N***M on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2017*

As configured, my Sawyer system weighed 5.2 oz. My Katadyn Hiker weighs 14.3 oz. Let me tell you which one stayed in my pack.The Katadyn Hiker adapts directly onto a Nalgene, Hydrapak collapsible bottle, and the MSR Dromedary/Dromlite bags. If it's got a wide mouth top, this can fit. It can also plug into CamelBaks. It has a pre-filter for all the gunk, a floater so you don't have your in like stuck in the sediment of the water, and it pumps up a 4 liter bag pretty quick. 3.5-4 minutes of pumping.The Sawyer is light. It filters slowly, requires a dirty container and clean container, and is more hassle than the weight savings are worth.

    Unfortunately its not worth the money
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2018*

This filter is light, cheap, durable, and pumps water quickly. However, the cost and refquency that of replacement filters makes the pump useless. The filters only lasts about 4 days of regular use. The replacement filters cost about $50 which is what I paid for it in the first place. Once the filer is clogged it is impossible to clean and back flushing does not really help. Furthermore, once clogged it does not allow you to pump water through the filter by way of a pressure release valve or something.I was very disappointing by this because with a new filter this pump is amazing.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Could be more Durable.
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2019*

Admittedly, I am comparing this filter to my alternative and backup which is the Sawyer Mini water filter.  My ratings in size, weight, functionality, etc are based in this bias.  The Katadyn filter does a great job filtering water, it takes care of anything bad I will ever encounter on my trips in North America, and I am sure it would be fine anywhere in the world, trusting the manufacturer.  The size and weight are acceptable.  Any bigger and it wouldn't work for my preference.  It is fairly easier to use, however I did have some problems with the filter getting clogged.  I had to filter some pretty murky water on a mountain, and clogged it pretty bad.  I cleaned it per manufacturers instructions, and rinsed it in a light bleach dilute for long term storage.  Took care of it, but I have been slightly dissapoined to have to have field cleaned it twice on separate trips since then, which is easy enough to do as the filter screws out of the pump, but still, as I have been careful to use the cleanest water possible and prefilter with a bandana, that it seems to have been pumping more difficultly.  Water tastes pretty good after filtering however, so four stars for that.  Overall, probably works pretty good comparatively.  Haven't had the clog problem with my Sawyer (yet) however.  Finally, and the main disappointment the prompted my review, is that the handle broke on my recent two week backpacking trip.  I was still able to use the filter, using my multitool needle nose pliers, but it was difficult.  I was pretty bumbed to have this happen, so I would appreciate it if the manufacturer could perhaps engineer the handles better so that this problem wouldn't happen again, where the palm grip of the handle cracks off clean at the top of the pump shaft.  Overall, three stars for a decent filter, but not thrilled about the durability with extended use.
