The SIPHON makes it easy to filter water for large groups, and drastically reduces the need to carry lots of extra water in your backpack.  This filter is especially popular due to its simple handling and fast filtration without pumps.  No need to pump, or even to connect to a tap; simple fill a bucket or container with water, drop the SIPHON ceramic filter into the container, and then place the outlet hose into a container at a lower level.  It operates automatically based on hydromatic principles--gravity does the work!  For groups of up to 10 people for camping (especially base camping), disaster relief organizations, militaries, survival, emergencies, preparedness, boating, RVs and more!

OPERATION:  The SIPHON makes a gravity-fed microfiltration system out of any two water containers.

• Fill a container with untreated water -- Drop in the SIPHON--Position the Outlet Hose in a Lower Container...and let gravity do its work!  The untreated water will be pulled through the ceramic filter, come out clean & pure, and then go down/out through the hose into a lower-positioned vessel.
• That's it!  Filters 1.2 gallons/hour.  You'll receive clean, pure water. 
• Yes, it really is that simple...NO PUMPING REQUIRED!  NO BATTERIES REQUIRED!

Tested & Proven Deep Ceramic Filtering removes bacteria, protozoa, algae, spores, sediments and viruses in combination with particles greater than 0.2 microns.  Such micro-organisms cannot pass through the extremely small pores of the .2 micron ceramic filter.  ALSO reduces radioactive particles (refer to instructions, take appropriate measures to protect yourself.)

• Unlike paper filters, this ceramic filter is easily cleanable and regenerative, even in the field.
• A specially-designed Measuring Gauge is supplied with the SIPHON filter, to allow verification of filter life and continued usefullness.

The SIPHON is classified by Katadyn in the Endurance Series which basically means this filter will last forever. Its silver-impregnated cleanable ceramic element will clean up to 5,000 gallons of water.   However, Katadyn also classifies the SIPHON in the ULTRALIGHT Series, due to its very light weight.  Either way, you win!

 >>>Rocky's Notes: We HAVE personally used this particular Katadyn model, and it works as advertised.  Its filter technologies are time-tested, proven and incredibly effective--they are excellent.  Highly Recommended!!

PLEASE NOTE:   Katadyn water filters and purifiers are favorites of militaries and civil relief agencies for disaster assistance operations.  These always 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 months. 
• This cycle has repeated itself several times since we started selling on eBay in 2006.  Just a word to the wise....!!
• You can tell from our feedback that we are straight with our customers; this is just honest advice-- if you need it now, buy it now.
