Bought this for my first ever hike.I hiked the MD part of the AT SOBO on October 2016.Didn't feel like filling up at the stream we crossed.Figured I would get water at Ensign Cowall Shelter.MISTAKE!Water source at the shelter a, almost literally, a puddle of mud.Didn't think this filter would handle it and figured I should go look for a water source.Wrong again.Pulled 2 liters out twice that day and once the next morning.Crystal clear.Still added some chlorine tabs, but not sure I needed them.Used again a few times again during the hike.Absolutely amazing.I would never go on a long hike without this thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arrived As Promised - DOES THE JOB! - Ease of Use
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2018

First off, the product arrived as promised. Let me put this into perspective, I ordered the Katadyn Hiker Micro-Filter to have in Miami just before hurricane Irma hit. The Boy Scout Motto is, "Be Prepared", and I was ready to have drinking water! The good news was I did not need that Katadyn Hiker Micro-Filter after hurricane Irma hit, thank goodness, but I was able to use the product while camping in the Everglades. It was very easy to use, and the instructions were to-the-point. It filters one liter (just over a quart) of water a minute, without much effort. It is lightweight and very easy to pack.
When you need water, you need it to be safe. The Katadyn Hiker Micro-filter DOES THE JOB!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, easy, light, perfect!
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2013

I bought this to take on a hiking trip in North Georgia where the only sources of water were very shallow streams. The Katadyn Hiker worked very well, even in super shallow water. The result was very good, clear water. I didn't use the bottle attachment. We just dropped the output tube into an empty bottle or camelbak.
After reading other reviews, I brought along a few coffee filters and rubber bands to wrap around the intake, and it didn't slow down the pumping at all. My hope is that the coffee filters will extend the life of the filter.
Also, the lubricant included is absolutely imperative for attaching the intake tube to the unit. I recommend assembling the strainer/sinker/float and attaching the intake tube before embarking on your trip. Skip the lubricant and this assembly is impossible.
I highly recommend this filter for any outdoor enthusiast!

4.0 out of 5 stars Doesn’t remove all pathogens
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2020
Verified Purchase
I bought this Katadyn Hiker portable filter early in 2020, for general/emergency use mainly at home. I bought it after a year of looking for the better filter, the General Ecology First Need filter, that I had from decades ago for backpacking, but couldn’t now find again for sale because I’d forgot its exact name, and it is no longer widely carried; and even Amazon won’t show it to you on a search for whatever reason, even though it has about the highest Amazon user review ratings, unless you enter its exact name. So, having failed for a year to find the First Need, I eventually resigned myself and bought this Katadyn Hiker filter.

In its favor, and the reason I bought it, is that I think this Katadyn Hiker, going for between $50-$75, is probably the best available portable filter for under $100 - maybe even the best for under $200 if you exclude the First Need (which goes for around $120).

One of the first things I did upon receiving this Katadyn filter was to subject it to the same easy self-test that I learned from my First Need 30+ years ago: I tried filtering some clean water with a few drops of food color dye added. I was surprised and disappointed that the Katadyn filter fails to remove the color, confirmed by Katadyn, a test that the First Need passed 30+ years ago. This means that the Katadyn doesn’t filter as well as the First Need did even 30 years ago, in particular the Katadyn Filter does not reliably remove viruses. It also means that, unlike the First Need filter, and again confirmed by Katadyn, the Katadyn filter has no good way to test and verify that it is intact and working effectively.

To be fair, those faults with the Katadyn filter are shared by essentially every other filter out there except only the First Need.

The Katadyn has another significant weakness, peculiar to it, noted by a number of reviewers here, namely that the barb/nipple onto which the water input hose connects, is obviously, and quite needlessly, quite fragile, at high risk of breaking off, and deeply recessed into the filter housing, leaving no good, easy way to gently disconnect the hose after use. I spent a long time trying and failing to gently pull and wiggle the hose off, very concerned that I was gonna’ snap off the barb and destroy the filter almost immediately upon receiving it. I eventually hit upon the idea of using a small crochet hook that I happened to have around the house to prise the hose from the barb, which worked fairly well - but I don’t usually carry crochet hooks while backpacking. Numerous other reviewers here describe their actually having the barb snap off while out in the woods, as would obviously often occur, leaving them stranded totally without clear water. A literally very possibly fatal design defect.

Other than that - and that is a heckuva’ lot - this Katadyn Hiker is a pretty good filter, better in almost all respects than almost all the many competitors. It’s reasonably compact, reasonably lightweight, easy to use, pumps easily and well; and - except for the needlessly fragile input barb, as noted above - seems strong and robust. Their customer service seems very good.

So how to rate this Katadyn Hiker filter? On an absolute scale, I would have to say that this water filter that fails to remove all pathogens - namely viruses - when a readily available competitor (General Ecology’s First Need) does - and has a critical weakness like the input connector barb described above, I would have to say that this filter isn’t really even in the running. On that basis, I would have to give it 1 star (effectively 0), or maybe as a courtesy 2 stars for some good effort even if ultimately a fail. However, virtually all the competitor filters, almost all of which are inferior to this Katadyn, have ratings in the 4+ range; so, trying to be fair, grading somewhat on a curve, I reckon I’ll rate this Katadyn Hiker 4 stars. But, regardless of the rating number here, better to skip this filter and buy a First Need.

(Only after buying this Katadyn filter and being disappointed by it, I went back to searching even more intensely for the General Ecology First Need, which was still difficult because I’d forgot its name. But eventually I stumbled onto it and bought one and found it slightly better than ever. Just to be clear, I have absolutely no connection to General Ecology/First Need, in fact I don’t even like the company all that much; it’s just that I’m a well satisfied customer/user of their obviously still superior filter for 30+ years.)

Katadyn is a great company for customer service. My handle broke after 10+ years. Contacted them to buy a replacement. They sent me a new one for free, along with a new o-ring and valve kit. I also have their bag filter, which uses the same filters and is better for 4+ people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente filtro para campismo
Reviewed in Mexico on January 9, 2023
Verified Purchase
La tecnología usada en el filtro está más que probada y la duración del filtro es excelente. Lo hemos usado en campamentos para decenas de muchachos y, gracias al filtro, es posible consumir agua de manera segura y eficiente.
En adición al cartucho original, los cartuchos de repuesto incluyen una capa de tela que recubre el cartucho y que permite eliminar las partículas más grandes; el utilizar estos repuestos prácticamente duplica la duración del filtro y lo hace igual al Hiker Pro.
A diferencia de los filtros de Sawyer, en este caso no se hacen retrolavados por lo que la duración del filtro es limitada, sin embargo es suficientemente ligero y confiable como para usarlo en caminatas de varios días sin tener ningún problema.
Dado que el tamaño del poro del filtro no retiene virus, es recomendable usarlo sólo en fuentes de agua confiables como ríos, lagos o escurrimientos pluviales de la montaña. Bajo ninguna circunstancia debe usarse en fuentes de agua que se hayan mezclado con drenajes sanitarios ya que la posibilidad de que contengan virus es muy alta.
Los cartuchos han bajado de precio recientemente y hacen más económico el reemplazo y extienden la duración del sistema por varios años.
Dado que no tiene ningún elemento de cerámica, como el Vario o el Pocket, podría decirse que garantiza la duración del sistema de filtrado. El Vario y el Pocket tienen diferentes ventajas, pero definitivamente los eleméntos cerámicos los hacen más frágiles ante caidas.
Para mantener la higiene de los tubos, Katadyn incluye unas bolsas ziploc para evitar contaminación cruzada. Es importante mantenerlos separados y asegurarse de enjuagar todo el sistema al regresar del campamento.
Llevo varios años usando el filtro Hiker y tengo varios cartuchos de repuesto para el futuro.
Es un filtro totalmente recomendable.

Este filtro es de los mas sencillos de usar, simplemente se coloca en el cuerpo de agua de donde se filtrará, se ajusta el flotador y se bombea manualmente. Es rápido pues filtra aproximadamente 1 litro por minuto. También es facil de limpiar. A diferencia de otros filtros de campismo que pudieras ser mas ligeros como el Mini Sawyer que también he probado, con el Katadyn no tendrás que ejercer presion sobre una bolsa de plástico para filtrar el agua lo cual resulta cansado o (como en mi caso) provoca la ruptura de la bolsa. Es verdad que es mas grande que el Mini Sawyer pero en mi opinión prefiero cargar algo un poco mas voluminoso pero contar con una herramienta que se que no me fallará, particularmente en un aspecto tan importante como la potabilización de agua.
