Katadyn Gravity BeFree 10L Water Microfilter – 2 L/min, 0.1 Micron Hollow-Fiber, Camping

Overview

Meet the Katadyn Gravity BeFree 10L, a compact gravity-fed water microfilter designed for campers, hikers, and emergency kits. It folds for transport, yet opens up to a generous 10-liter bag for larger groups. Its 0.1-micron hollow-fiber filter is field-cleanable with a quick swish or shake, helping you refresh dirty water without pumping or squeezing.

What makes it stand out

• High-output filtration: roughly 2 liters per minute, so you don’t wait long for clean water during meals or gear setup.
• Small, light, and packable: weighs about 10.7 oz, fits in backpack pockets or emergency kits.
• Protective filtration: tested to remove bacteria and protozoa (bacteria 99.9999%, Giardia and Cryptosporidium 99.9%), offering an added safety margin in backcountry settings.
• Large-capacity bag: a gravity-based design suited for groups or multiple refills before a break.

How it works

Fill the 10L bag, hang, and let gravity do the work. The quick-connect hose makes filling and storing effortless. The filter element is field-cleanable—shake or swish to extend its life, with a tested capacity up to 1,000 liters depending on the water source.

Real-world use cases

• Weekend camping with friends: a steady supply for cooking and drinking by the camp.
• Backpacking trips: a lightweight, compact solution that preserves backpack space and reduces pumping effort.
• Emergency preparedness: a reliable filtration option ready in your kit for rapid access to water.
