Product review (5 stars): Durable Companion
I purchased a Katadyn pocket water filter about 30 years ago. It has stood the test of time and many backpack trips. I decided to replace the element as a precaution, not as a necessity. The new replacement element arrived in a package that demonstrated Katadyn's commitment to quality and care. Simply stated, the packaging was well thought out and elegant. The element, with a modification to outflow spout, was the same quality product that convinced me to purchase the pocket filter some 30 years ago. You get what you pay for, and in this case an excellent product.
