The Vario combines individual efficiency with the simplest possible handling. The technology it uses consists of three filter levels: a high-performance glass fiber filter, a ceramic pre-filter that can be adjusted individually according to the cloudiness of the water, and active charcoal for eliminating odors. Anyone who needs up to two liters of drinking water per minute can use the glass fiber and active charcoal filter. If the water is extremely cloudy, the ceramic pre-filter can be fitted in a moment in order to extend the service life of the glass fiber filter. The Vario is compatible with most standard outdoor bottles and hydration bladders.

Capacity (gal) – ~ 530 (glassfiber) ~ 106 (carbon)

I need advice! Camping Water Purifier Gear!!!?

Hi, thanks for everyone’s help with earlier questions. I understand the difference between water purifiers and filters/microfilters. Again, I am nervous about using a Pocket Katadyn or PUR/ Katadyn Hiker filter. Again, I am only using this in clean Canadian national park quality lakes, with the exception of one or two fishing lakes where I have seen the occasional boat motor (less than 50 a year). There is a bit of salt runoff from the highways nearby I would imagine, but trace amounts in lakes usually 1-2 miles long with no cottages on them.

Should I worry about ‘beaver fever’, or any kind of bacteria using these filters in fairly clear water? I swim in these waters all the time, and have never got a rash or ear infection nor has anyone else who’s gone out camping with me. Am I being nuts?

Also, if you DO suggest a purifier, can you recommend one that is easy to use (i.e long life / cleanable filter components…years between filter changes, etc)…and what is a good value model? For any backcountry areas of North America all you need is a 0.2 micron or lower water filter. The things you’re trying to filter are Giardia cysts (beaver fever),the occasional cryptosporidum, and organic matter. Viruses (such as Hepatitis A) are only present in water that has a chance of being contaminated with human fecal matter, such as in third world countries. Katadyn Mini Ceramic Filter, which I’ve heard good things about and is very light. http://www.backcountry.com/store/EXT0036/c3/s16/Katadyn-Mini-Ceramic-Microfilter.html?id=FUspUXiS
