I 3D printed an adapter for the katadyn so it fits on a regular water bottle. If you need one yell.
im relieved to see your nice new gear didnt get dirty, aside from a few drops of water on your shoes.
Love Katadyn. I've had my pocket filter for 25yrs. This BeFree size is terrific.
+Gary Bowen agreed!
Ahh I love this product. Such a good addition to a go-bag or emergency bag.
I have always wondered,,, after you fill the bag and start filter pointing down most of the time,,, what about the water that is dripping down the outer side of the bag? Or is that not enough of dirty water to warm you much? I would think it doesn't take much dirty water to have a chance of you getting ill.
Also, I wonder if there are more price friendly bag you can screw on that filter to?
I had this filter on my thru hike this past summer it's awesome
Love you reviews..thank you!
Great review btw, including the issues you've ran into with poking holes and the solutions you found. As well as all the specifications. You have my favorite water filtration videos, because of your background scenery, information, soothing voice and speaking style. Bonus points for the disclaimer at the end, but I definitely trust your honesty in these reviews. I'm an atheist so I won't praise God, but I wish you all the best. Take care.
Thank you for the views and comment! Glad to help:)
Thanks and remember, everyday is a gift.
The only thing that could be better would be if the bottom could be opened. That would make it faster to fill and easier to clean.
+Bla Bla yes...it would be tough to seal and have it be leak free
@@ReviewOutdoorGear Not true. There's plenty of bladders that have roll tops.
@Greg Letter The Katadyn BeFree cartridge fits on the Hydrapak bladder!
Nice post was thinking about switching from sawyer mini to this 👍🏽👌🏽
It looks like when you pour it into the tin cup the water on the outside, unfilterred, easily drips into the cup while you pour. How can you avoid contamination?
Good review. I think it would be nice for weekend trips but far over priced for what it is and the amout of water it filters. 1000liters is a joke
How can you measure / record how many liters you have used with these devices? Who is going to carry a pocket book and take notes on a hike?
Seems like a strong possibility for contamination either from water from outside of the bag, or hands.
You should probably wipe off the bag before you gravity filter so the contaminated water on the sides doesn't drip into the filtered water.
Also from the reviews I've seen on these, problem is very low surface area... It clogs too often. The Sawyer Squeeze is bigger, but you get more surface area for filtering and you don't need to clean so often.
you don't have to paddle it on the water, just dip it down low and it'll fill-up.
That only works with hard containers like bottles.
Really nice 👍🏻 would you be able to hook a hose and bite valve to it and have it in your pack?
+spider5001 I’m sure there is a way, but I haven’t done it
so its basically like a lifestraw but with a bladder?
Does that company make a backpack badder with a filter?
+Daniel Cornett not yet
how do you know when the filter has reached the end of it's life span? Thank you.
It becomes very difficult to push water through
Can you use this instead of Brita
When do you know that you need to replace the filter? How can you tell? Does the water stop flowing?
Yes the flow will decrease significantly.
Do you know if they make caps just for storage as a bottle instead of a filter and a bottle for additional storage?
Did not know that! Good to know.
I like the bag design, but I don't like the proprietary threading. The filter can't be used with any other sort of water bottle. And no other filter will work inside the katadyn bottle. Also, 1,000 liters is pretty weak. The lowest model Sawyer product is rated for a hundred thousand GALLONS. Plus it's compatible with every water bottle on the market, And significantly cheaper. I think katadyn would win hands down if they could step up to the price point and versatility of the Sawyer.

Great video- what is your location in this video- thank you
I have alot of agricultural land around me. I was wondering if this can be attached to a carbon filter to remove herbicides/pesticides that may leach into the water. Thanks
Not sure. Check manufacturer website
hi! would it be a good filter to bring on a thru hike (Te Araroa, New Zealand) And if yes what size?
where was this filmed?
Приветствую ведущего канала .
Я не понимаю ваш язык , у меня есть вопрос какие у вас есть модели и в какую цену ?
Canadian?
Don't believe these bottle filters are as good as they seem. Ive tried a few of the befree bottles and they leaked from the bottle top. Also water tased grainy so not sure if the filter was defective or not.
Can anyone tell me if the cap on the filter is standard size that could be replaced with smart water bottle sports caps? I have heard that is the flimsy part of the product and was wondering if it could easily be replaced with other bottle caps? THX
100% yes.
Nice
What about viruses?
I'm sure you can lookup more specific info about this but my understanding is that this type of filter does not include filtering viruses. My understanding is that viruses are not a risk from water in the United States.
I just received mine. I have experienced a plastic after taste with mine. Have you? Does it go away with use?
Did you rinse it before use? And throw away the first few cycles of water.
TY for the reply. Yes. I rinsed it, flushed it, rinsed it again, washed it out. I can still taste it 10 minutes later. New subscriber here.
Hmm interesting... we’ve been using them for a while and can’t taste the plastic...
Thank you for your time. I am soaking it in Baking Soda solutions. It seems to be going away. Great channel!
This Amazon link already shows the product out of stock and unavailable. It further says they "don't know" if it will become available again.
What happened, one wonders?
I had the BeFree 600ml used it 4 times then it started leaking from the the top. Just couldn't get a good seal when screwing it closed.
Hmm. Not good. Hasn’t happens to any of ours yet. Email them, they will replace it for you.
BPA if forbidden by law anyways.
too bad it can t be used as a shower........
If i put tape i will get cancer
Yessss, walk into a creek and bend down in the creek and then drip dirty water all over your clean cup and in your mouth and all over your hands, much better than dropping a hose in the water and pumping straight into a nalgene bottle.
