Katadyn KFT Expedition Pump Water Filter

The Katadyn KFT Expedition is a high-performance, hand-pump water filter built for large groups of 10 or more, making it the ideal choice for base camps, rafting expeditions, military use, and humanitarian relief operations . Its robust construction from durable, near-indestructible materials like stainless steel and ceramic ensures reliable performance in the most demanding conditions .

At its core is a proven 0.2-micron silver-impregnated ceramic depth filter that reliably removes 99.9999% of bacteria (e.g., E. coli) and 99.99% of protozoan cysts (such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium), as well as sediment and microplastics . The filter delivers an impressive output of approximately 4 liters per minute, allowing a group to quickly secure a large volume of safe drinking water . With a total filter capacity of up to 100,000 liters (26,000 gallons), the reusable ceramic element offers exceptionally long-term value and is easily field-cleanable with the included abrasive pad to restore flow rate .

The unit includes a measuring gauge to indicate when the element has worn down and needs replacement, and comes complete with a pre-filter and a carry bag for transport and protection . Its ergonomic two-hand pump design and relatively few moving parts make operation and maintenance straightforward, ensuring a dependable water supply wherever it's needed most.
