impatient and thirsty

Rating:****

the vario works great, but i recently went on a climbing/backpacking trip in the ozarks, pumped water from a stream in the dark so I couldnt tell how cloudy the water was, it clogged up the ceramic prefilter and the scrubbing pad hardly did anything, it still worked but hardly, took forever to get water, always carry a bandanna or coffee filter incase you need to wrap the strainer

What youd expect

Rating:*****

Well if you already have the Katadyn and need a replacement ceramic filter, there you go. Ive never had problems with my getting 'gunked up', since the pre-filter on the end of the inlet tube usually helps keep most of it out, but the ceramic disc is great for murky water non-the-less.

What can you say about a replacement filter. It filters the water so you can drink it. Always a good idea to replace the filter as the manufacturer recommends.
