The Katadyn Hiker Pro Replacement Cartridge replaces old, scummy cartridges from your Katadyn Hiker or Hiker Pro microfilter. The Hiker Pro Cartridge uses the same awesome microfilter element, but wraps it in a protective membrance that makes it a snap to service in the field. Clogs will be less common and easier to fix if they do. When you're out in the wilderness, you just need the water, not the nasty things living in it.

Great water filter:
It took some research to figure out this was the right cartridge for my filter, but it is and it works great. Once inserted it greatly improved the speed of my filter.
Works great!:
Used this on a four-day Appalachian Trail hike, and it worked great. I was with a scout group, and there were two other water filtration products in the group. The Katadyn worked much better than the other two, and we ended up using it to filter water for most of the group. Would wholeheartedly recommend.
Does its job (not for long), and it's expensive.:
This is the third year we've used these replacement filters in the Katadyn Base Camp water filter. The Base Camp is an excellent idea; fill the bag and let gravity do the work.
The filters are advertised as: "Provides up to 200-gallon capacity (depending on water quality)" I'm guessing you'd only get 200-gallons with clean, city tap water.
The past 3 years we've gone into the BWCA with 8 people for 4 days. We bring the Base Camp filter with 2 replacement cartridges. Each cartridge lasts for... more info
Plain and simple...works great.:
Easy replacement...comes with replacement O-rings and silicone lubricant too. Well worth the price--you probably will want to stock up on a few of these, both for your regular outdoor uses and "just-in-case." Want an interesting internet search??? Go to your favorite search engine and input "municipal water supply contamination" and see what you get. Definitely worth your while to buy a good water filter (I use and recommend Katadyn) PLUS some spare filters.
