Another high-quality water filter/purifier from Katadyn...this one is designed for filtering water with the least amount of effort!

• Perfect for your base camp or backcountry cabin, this filter can supply 6 months of safe drinking water for up to 6 people with no pumping required!
• Also perfect for home use (everyday or emergency purposes), especially if you have a large family.
• Do you have a nearby stream...a pond or lake nearby??  With this Katadyn water filter, you'll also have drinkable water during emergencies.
• Also great for boats, recreational vehicles (RVs), or anywhere you need a large, fast supply of filtered water.
• If you're on salt water, you should run it through a desalinator first; see our listing for Katadyn desalination filters, as well.

OPERATION:

• Fill the container with untreated water and walk away--water drips down through 3 ceramic elements, pulled by gravity (and hence the "Gravidyn" name)--return an hour later to a gallon of potable water, pourable through the attached dripless spigot.
• Yes, it really is that simple...NO PUMPING REQUIRED!!
• You'll occasionally have to clean the exterior of the ceramic elements to ensure steady flow, and once every 39,000 gallons or so you'll have to replace the ceramic elements--but that is about 6 months of water for 6 people.
• Just to be safe, you can order an extra set of replacement Gravidyn ceramic elements from our eBay listing.

FEATURES: 

• Double-stage reservoir holds over 2-1/2 gallons of to-be-filtered water in its upper chamber.

 >>>Rocky's Notes: We haven't personally used this particular Katadyn model, but its filter technologies are time-tested, proven and incredibly effective.  We have used the same ceramic filtering technologies while using the Katadyn Pocket and VARIO Microfilters--and they are excellent.  If in doubt, do a Google search and you'll find numerous reviews of this product with OUTSTANDING results and recommendations. Our assessment: Good to Go, Highly Recommended!!

REMINDER:  If you want to purchase a set of replacement ceramic filters, please see our separate eBay ad for Gravidyn Replacement Filter Cartridges. 

PLEASE NOTE:   The Gravidyn and its replacement elements are favorites of militaries and civil relief agencies for disaster assistance operations.  Over the last few years the Gravidyn and its replacement ceramic cartridges ALWAYS sell out QUICKLY after any major international disaster, such as earthquakes in China; tsunamis in Asia; or hurricanes in the Americas. 

• If you need/want this filter or its replacement elements, PLEASE DO NOT WAIT to purchase them; all it takes is a few large orders from relief agencies or a military service, and these end up being back-ordered for additional months.
