The Katadyn Mini Carbon is a water filter for camping, biking, hiking, mountaineering, during hotel stays, etc. The Katadyn Mini Carbon reduces chemical impurities and unpleasant tastes and traps even chlorine-resistant giardia and cryptosporidium cysts. The heart of the mini carbon is a fine-pored carbon block. Activated carbon reduces chlorine, iodine and other chemicals such as pesticides, and herbicides, and restores the natural taste of water.
Activated carbon is effective against malodorous and health-endangering chemicals.
By using this type of filtration, water is restored to its fresh and natural taste, free of chlorine, iodine and other health threatening chemicals. Activated carbon will also trap parasites and cysts. The activated carbon alone cannot offer adequate protection against bacteria. To remove bacteria, the filter can be converted to a ceramic system by replacing the carbon element with the ceramic element.
