Katadyn BeFree Gravity Filter 6.0 L is the ultimate portable water filtration system for outdoor adventurers. This gravity-driven filter features an advanced hollow fiber cartridge with 0.1-micron pores that eliminate 99.99% of bacteria, protozoa, algae, sediments, spores, and cysts, making it safe to refill your water supplies from streams, lakes, and other sources that might be questionable without treatment. The cartridge can purify up to 1000 liters depending on water quality and is super easy to clean in the field. Plus, it maintains a natural water flow and can deliver 2 liters per minute—so you can stay hydrated without breaking a sweat.

Available in two sizes—6 liters and 10 liters—the Katadyn BeFree Gravity Filter is perfect for mountain trekking, camping, fishing trips, or cycling adventures with a group of 2 to 5 people. Forget about the hassle of pumping; just hang the filter from a tree branch or rock outcrop using the attached strap, open the outlet valve on the hose, and enjoy up to 2 liters of clean water in a minute.

The flexible reservoir is free from harmful substances and features a roll-top closure for volume control, plus a transparent window with measurement marks. The functional hose comes with a plastic "tap," allowing you to drink directly from the filter, fill up water bottles, pots, hydration systems, or even use the BeFree Gravity as a handwashing station. It also has threading compatible with the Katadyn Camp Series Shower Adaptor, turning the gravity filter into a portable shower.

Features

• The state-of-the-art EZ-Clean Membrane™ filter allows water through 0.1-micron pores, removing bacteria, protozoa, algae, sediments, spores, and cysts.
• This device operates by gravity: as water flows into the hose, it naturally passes through the purification cartridge. No need to shake the reservoir or manually pump the fluid.
• High water delivery speed—2 liters per minute.
• Cartridge lifespan—up to 1000 liters depending on water quality.
• The cartridge is easy to clean in the field with just a rinse under regular water.
• The folded reservoir takes up almost no space and weighs only 263 g (6 L) or 284 g (10 L). It’s easy to fill in a river, lake, or stream through the roll-top opening that also removes excess air to prevent sloshing during transport.
• The long hose is equipped with a valve to control water flow, which automatically shuts off when the hose is removed. This makes it easier to fill the reservoir while keeping any remaining filtered water in the hose from contaminating.
• When not in use, the hose can be conveniently attached to the unit using a clip.
• To freshen up at the end of the day, you can connect the Katadyn Camp Series Shower Adaptor (sold separately) to the reservoir instead of using the hose.
• The durable carrying strap allows for easy transport and hanging, secured to the unit with carabiners.
• The reservoir features a transparent window with measurement markings to help you monitor your water supply.
• It’s easy to fill your hydration system (bladder) thanks to the built-in Quick Fill Hydration Pack Adapter with a quick-release clip, compatible with most hydration systems.
• Included is a textile carrying bag where all components compactly fit for transportation.
• This product is made and tested in Switzerland.
