The pore-size of Katadyn ceramic filters is 0.2 micron (0.0002 mm). Bacteria range in size from 0.2 to 5 micron and, like protozoa (1 to 15 micron), are efficiently filtered out. Ceramic filters can be mechanically regenerated and the filter capacity is measurable.Activated carbon is used for its ability to reduce harmful organic and inorganic substances in the water. It removes unpleasant tastes, odors, chlorine, pesticides (lindane, DDT) and trihalomethanes (THMs). These substances adhere to the large surface area of the activated carbon. Activated carbon granulate cannot be regenerated.Specifications:Technology: 0.2 micron ceramic depth filter and activated carbonOutput: ca. 1 liters/minuteCartridge Capacity: up to 50,000 l (depending on water quality)Carbon Capacity: up to 400 l (2 fillings)Weight: ca. 580 gSize: 27 x 6 cm (10.6 x 2.4 inches)Includes: Prefilter, bottle adaptor and carry bagWhy Treat Water?A crystal-clear stream or lake usually contains microorganisms that can make you sick.
