Katadyn Ceramic Replacement Cartridge for Combi Filter

The Katadyn Ceramic Replacement Cartridge is a high-performance depth filter element designed specifically for the Katadyn Combi water filter system. Crafted from silver-impregnated ceramic, this cartridge provides reliable mechanical filtration, removing bacteria, protozoa, cysts, sediments, algae, and fungi. With a pore size of 0.2 microns, it achieves a bacteria removal efficiency of >99.9999% and protozoa/cyst removal of >99.9%. The cartridge is field cleanable with a scrubbing pad, extending its lifespan up to 50,000 liters depending on water quality. Ideal for backpacking, camping, hiking, travel, and emergency preparedness, this Swiss-made replacement ensures your Combi filter continues to deliver safe drinking water in remote environments.

Advantages
