 unhappy with replacement filters Jul 14, 2010
The katadyn base camp water filter was great the first year we had it. The following year we bought 2 Hiker Pro Replacement Cartridges at $40 each and the katadyn base camp water filter has not worked since. We have tried every thing and are very unhappy. There isn't a number to call or any one to check out the filter. I feel we have wasted over $140 for nothing. Does any one have a suggestion? 7/14/2010 Unhappy!!
 Convenient Jul 05, 2010
Best thing about it is that its convenient. It folds up fairly well in your pack, and is super easy to just set it up and leave it. We've only used it once so I don't know how long the filter will keep running since I've read lots of reviews about it slowing down. So we'll see, but so far it worked at a good pace.
Price goes up and down on this item... Jun 12, 2010
Who knows but price went up 7 dollars about after I put it in my cart but a week before I finally ordered it. Still lower than most other sellers on line. And a lot lower than some. I thought I'd carry a few coffee filters along to prefilter any water that looks like it could clog. We have hard water but it'll take a while to see if this has any problems with that issue. Also not sure if the water out on the coast well be hard or soft or what exactly. Up here some of the year it's soft and we collect it in the spring for beer making. Silly as that sounds....but our house water is extremely hard and the snow run off is good water if you hit it at the right time and it's running clean. I am taking a chance and not buying the extra filter in advance. I don't expect it to clog up as quick and like I said I intend to use a prefilter before it runs through the system just to help out with that issue.
Katadyn Base Camp Water Filter Jun 09, 2010
I decided to carry the Katadyn Base Camp Water Filter into the BWCAW of northern Minnesota and Canada because of the savings it presented. With eight people working their calories off for 4 day, I estimate we consumed about 40 to 50 gallons of water. If you consider pumping that volume at 1/4 oz per pump... painful. The Katadyn Base Camp filter reduced that work to nothing more than a couple dozen trips onto the lake to fill the bladder, painless. It was not without issue though. We were traveling mid May and the trees were in full bloom putting an extremely large amount of pollen into the air and water. And of course that translates into large amount of pollen in the filter also, making for a frequently plugged filter. Now this is a little scary considering I only have one filter. Oh rest assured the Katadyn Base Camp Water Filter's prefilter was a life saver in this respect; about every five gallons I simply cleaned the pre filter and it ran as good as new. Nice job Katadyn.
