51 of the best filters  Nov 16, 2007
By ranger john
i have had my katadyn combi since 1995 it gives you not only safe drinking water but good tasting with the carbon filter and it's cheaper then the katadyn pocket filter made of plastic but it's really tough. i found if you use a coffee filter on the hose the ceramic filter lasts longer

5Worked Awesome  Jul 28, 2008
By David J. Blondheim Jr.
My wife and I bought this for back-country camping in the UP of Michigan and it worked awesome. The filter is very sturdy and well built. I was not worried about "breaking it" when we were using it. It also is fairly simple design and straightforward to take apart. Plus, it provided good tasting water!!

We are looking forward to taking it to Isle Royale and giving it a good workout there!

UPDATE 6/3/10 - We have used this filter multiple times now (Porkie's SP in MI, Isle Royale, Pictured Rocks NLS, backpacking in Utah) - it has stood the test of repeat use over a few years now!

Continues to work well for our backpacking trips. No issues with it, as long as you take care of it (clean it after every trip; when you put new charcoal in it, clean the ceramic filter after pumping water through it; use a coffee filter on the end to help keep the ceramic in better shape). Good product, I like the design of the pump. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a good filter.

5Nice for the price  Apr 06, 2009
By J Gill "J"
The Katadyn Combi gives you the filter life of the Katadyn Pocket for a lot less money. True it isn't made of all metal, but it is sturdy. The bottle top adapter works well and it is easy to disassemble. Great product.

5Great Ceramic filter  Mar 14, 2009
By J. Cavins "JJ"
I bought the ceramic because if you are in the backpacking/hiking and you have a paper type filter (like the katadyn hiker) and it gets clogged you are up "up $H!T creek without a paddle". The ceramic filter can be easily washed off and continue to work whereas the paper filters are done. This filter is a bit on the heavy side but I know it is built to last and will work every time.

The only thing I did not like was that they assume you are going to put this into a water bottle or Nalgene etc... It does not come with an exit hose. I use Camelbaks and I need an exit hose with the attachment to fill up Camelbaks through the Camelbak's hose. (which is also a great buy, if you haven't updated your Camelbaks in a while now when you are in the field you don't have to take the bladder out, simply take the mouthpiece off with a button and the filter hose attaches to the Camelbak hose, much easier than the old design)

5Kept Me Healthy in Nepal  Jul 27, 2010
By Dzogchenpa
I used the Combi for three months in Nepal. The filter allowed me to avoid polluting that beautiful country with hundreds of empty mineral water bottles. Another excellent reason to schlep your own filter is that travelers who must buy their drinking water tend on average to drink much less than the body needs. With a Combi you will spend less, pollute less, and enjoy consistently clean, good-tasting water. I do suggest traveling with a few more activated carbon refills than you anticipate you'll need. The water quality in developing countries can be rather poor. Replacing the carbon often keeps the water tasting good and provides additional peace of mind. Be careful about taking the Combi to cold climates -- the wet ceramic element will crack if allowed to freeze.
