Fits Klean Kanteen 40oz but doesn't quite fit the Kleen Kanteen Classic. I could easily cut and tape a sungle piece of a soda bottle to make an adapter but would likely just hang my gravity filter over it and possibly add another piece of hose to get every drop. With the Klean canteen it doesn't screw in, just sits atop. Probably best, because it allows air to escape as the water fills the bottle. Otherwise, I've had filters just not work until unscrewing from the bottle or bag the water was going into.After adding the activated carbon, I tamped it down even across the top and brushed off the outsides before screwing the unit together. Otherwise those grains will get in the way. Then I flush it out with 20oz of water or so. Water tastes great after that. There is a nice even flow here with a new sawyer mini filter.People talk a lot about these things removing cloudiness and bad tastes but I see less often them mentioning these carbon filters clean out chlorine and pesticides as well. Great for if using the tabs because the directions on the kleen kanteen say to not use chlorine in the bottle. Also great for when one might have to gather from streams near farmland while traveling.This is not my first activated carbon filter so I'm sure it will work just with these initial uses. I think its worth the extra few ounces.

This little baby comes in handy, especially when you have a ceramic filter without an inner carbon core. One great feature about this filter is that you can add carbon and remove it whenever you desire. Of course you can buy the carbon refill packets directly from Katadyn, but that would cost a bunch of money if you use this filter frequently. I found a great website online that sells high quality Activated Carbon that is suitable to refill this filter. Twenty or thirty dollars can buy you enough activated carbon to use this filter for a long time. If you look closely at this filter you will see a beveled lip. This is used to rest the filter housing as it sits directly on top of your water bottle. This filter fits absolutely perfectly inside of my 64 ounce Kleen Kanteen. I hook this filter directly up to the output hose of my Katadyn Pocket Filter so the water passes through the ceramic before it hits the carbon. One piece of advice would be to slowly pump the water through the filter so that it has a long "contact time" with the activated carbon medium inside the filter. An ideal situation would be to slowly drip the water through this filter, but of course that would be extremely difficult. Another option would be to do what I did and buy two of them and hook them up in series (one after the other), that way the water passes through two carbon filters. Remember, ceramic filter remove particles and some bacteria/viruses, but they do nothing to improve the taste of the water or remove chemicals. Activated carbon filters on the other hand work great at removing chemicals and chlorine and subsequently improving the taste of the water. I highly recommend this filter. Just remember though, this filter does you no good unless you already have another filter to hook it up to. This filter does not come with any hoses and is impossible to drip water into the tiny holes. This is precisely why it must be used in conjunction with another filter.

On one of last year's canoe camping trips I had to filter out of a slower-moving, somewhat murky source. The water tasted funky. No amount of flavored drink powder could mask the nasty taste.Now, all my filtered water tastes...like water...Even out of that same slough.Great product.Thought about removing a star for the dimensions, it's short and wide vs long and thin. I didn't because I knew what I was getting into.It would be easier to pack if it were shaped more like a Sawyer Mini/Squeeze instead of double-stacked cans of tuna.It works though, and works well.The extra package of replacement carbon was nice. Will probably get 3 refills out of the included carbon granules. That's quite a bit of water filtered.There are other carbon elements on the market. I chose this one because of the user-maintainable aspects. It's not disposable.Glad I bought it. In am sure it will serve well for many years to come.

I'm using this filter along with another pre-filter in a diy backpacking gravity filter setup and it's working great so far. I really like that this cartridge can be opened and the granules replaced. Thank you for that katadyn. I'm tired of buying use it once cartridges where the entire unit needs to be replaced if the granules are spent. This is a backpacking luxury item because it does come with a somewhat significant weight penalty. The weight of the cartridge full of granules is 0.2 lbs, or 3.2 oz, or 91 grams. This was measured using a postal scale. That being said, I like the taste of very good water so the weight to me is worth it. Be sure to flush the cartridge with water after filling with new granules because there will be a lot of black dust that needs to be flushed first. Excellent product and I highly recommend.

Just installed in line on hydration pack. Along with another filter in front of this carbon filter that removes bacteria, metals, etc. Has improved taste of water. I was getting a plastic taste coming from my hydration pack this filter removed that bad taste. The other filter did nothing for taste. Will see how long this filter works and lasts. Then I will know the quality. Works for my situation. Will order more.

"The Katadyn Carbon Cartridge is not what it looks like in Amazon's web page. In fairness, the Amazon portrayal is the same as what is shown on Katadyn's web page, as well as on the box it comes in. What is in the box is simply the cartridge cap that is shown on the bottle, There is no bottle and no hose, even though the box is big enough to contain them. And there is no disclaimer on the box that they are not there, either. The only way to know what you are getting is to carefully read Amazon's written product description and make no assumptions. but remember that the picture is also like a description!What you do get, will function as needed. Just don't expect the extras. I paid for that too much. That cost 17 dollars in USA, I have paid 24 Pounds here. This box is worth maximum 12 Pounds for me."

Par adquirir una potabilización desterrando ciertos microorganismos resulta necesaria; el inconveniente es que se adquiere aparte, así como los sobres de carbono activo que sí vienen con este filtro.

Ich habe mir den Aktivkohlefilter zusammen mit dem Katadyn Pocket Filter gekauft. Ich habe den Filter in der Zwischenzeit ausgiebig testen koennen. Ich habe sehr schmutziges, braunes Wasser einmal mit und einmal ohne den Aktivkohlefilter gefiltert.Das Ergebnis war klares Wasser.....aber....ohne den Aktivkohlefilter hatte das Wasser doch einen sehr erdigen Geschmack. Ich haette es trinken koennen, aber meine Kinder (6 und 3) haben sich geweigert.Mit dem Aktivkohlefilter war das Ergebnis ausgezeichnet. Der erdige Geschmack war weg und sogar meine Kinder haben es gerne getrunken.Der Filter macht einen qualitativ hochwertigen Eindruck....wenn man aber den Preis fuer die Nachfuellpackungen von Katadyn sieht wird einem schwarz vor den Augen. Mit den mitgelieferten 2 Nachfuellpackungen kann man den Filter 4 mal befuellen.Ich werde mal Aktivkohle aus einer Zoohandlung ausprobieren, die kostet nur den Bruchteil dessen was sie bei Katadyn kostet.Wenn das Ergebis gleich ist, dann kaufe ich mir diese.Fazit: Wer Kinder hat, der sollte sich diesen Filter zulegen!!! Die Nachfuellpackungen kann man sich evtl. kostenguenstiger besorgen. Das Ergebis war trinkbares, geschmacksneutrales Wasser.

En complément avec le filtre sawyer, cette combinaison est redoutable d'efficacité.Le système par gravité facilite grandement la mise en œuvre, contrairement à des systèmes à pompe comme sur mon katadyn combi.La quantité de charbon actif dans chaque sachet est de 28 gr, le fabricant indique une utilisation pour 200L.Dès la première mise en service, je vous recommande de ne pas boire les premiers litres car il y aura des fines particules de charbon mélangé à l'eau. Donc même si l'eau est très clair, par précaution buvez après un cycle de 3-5L que vous allez jeter.À noter que le charbon actif n'est efficace que pendant une certaine période. Une fois le sachet ouvert, que vous l'utilisez 2 fois ou tous les jours, il faudra le changer au bout de 6 mois ou moins suivant la qualité d'eau filtrée.Pour augmenter la durée de vie du filtre, je prélève toujours mon eau dans une source propre, en commençant par pré-filtrer à l'aide d'une gourde ou une poche à eau dédié qu'à ça et un morceau de tissu fin. Ça débarrasse pas mal de petits résidus que l'on peut difficilement voir à l'oeil nu...Eau pré-filtré tissu fin > filtre sawyer squeeze > katadyn charbon actif > steripen UV.Ce système n'est pas des plus léger, ni le moins cher, mais le rendu est quasiment impeccable. L'eau est très agréable à boire, comme en bouteille. Elle n'a pas de goût dégueulasse (vase, eau stagnante) car le charbon actif fait bien son travail.Pour la dernière étape je préfère la purification UV, que le goût de javel des tablettes de purification ( micropur forte, aquatabs). Même si j'ai toujours quelques pastilles dans ma trousse de secours, ça ne prend pas de place ;)Le kit s'emboîte mieux sur les gourdes nalgene, et un peu moins sur la klean kanteen, il n'y a aucune rétention sur cette dernière. L'embout est assez polyvalent, il s'adapte sur un peu près tout.Le seul défaut du produit, c'est le prix ! Je l'ai pris car j'avais un code promo à passer.Je vais pas râler 😁
