have you ever gotten sick from using this? I know its suppose to filter everything out but I am still a bit worried i might get sick

[BlackCatSaloon]

@thedisbatcher Nope...it's an excellent filter. You can check out the Katadyn website for details.

Wow this is the first time I see a video without any dislike.

[BlackCatSaloon]

@gianboy2001 Thanks...glad you enjoyed.

[ServingSamuel]

Is there anything it doesn't filter out like lead ect anthing at all ?

[BlackCatSaloon]

@ServingSamuel The activated carbon will filter out some chemicals, but it's best to contact the Katadyn customer support via their website email or 1-800 number.

[MrDawggie]

keep it in your inside jacket pocket-

[silvermediastudio]

I always pre-filter my pre-filter. Good advice.

[kaidensfire]

Oh and coffee filters work as a pre filter.

[kaidensfire]

This will not work for saltwater.

Options for saltwater are usually more expensive.

[laurendoesthis]

Great review. Final note about risk of cracking in sub zero very useful Thanks :)

[scubasteve6100]

what about salt water

[HellFire46]

why don't you try using a sunglass microfiber pouch to wrap around your prefilter

[MilManBar15k]

Can u use it for salt water like from the ocean?

Part 2 or 2 MSR also uses ceramic filters. I ended up getting a PUR Scout. Katadyn eventually bought PUR (sold the Scout as the Guide). PUR used iodine in one of the stages and claimed it killed viruses. I know of no filter that claims that now.

Part 1 or 2 First let me commend you on a very through review. I am going to date myself as you did in your John Wayne opener review. Back in 1998 when I lived in Idaho I was anxious about getting caught in the winter in the mountains. A family died less than 3 miles from a road the year before. One of the reasons I did not get Katadyn's Pocket for my emergency car kit was the ceramic filter. I believe some people in Alaska had had problems with ceramic filters cracking.
