Thank you for choosing the Katadyn MyBottle Personal Water
Purification System
The Katadyn MyBottle water purification system eliminates the need to carry
or locate safe water, whether you are camping, hiking, paddling, fishing
or anytime safe water is required. The Katadyn MyBottle water purification
system places the advanced 3-layer ViruPur technology with an integrated
glass-fiber prefilter and an additional carbon postfilter into a standard water
bottle. The result is a water bottle that meets industry standards for reduction
of viruses (99.99%), bacteria (99.9999%) and cysts (99.9%) such as Giardia
and Cryptosporidium.
When to use
The Katadyn MyBottle water purification system is designed for use with
untreated fresh water sources, such as lakes, rivers and streams. It also
provides protection against waterborne pathogens that may still be present in
the tap water of many foreign countries.
The Katadyn Bottle purifier offers a convenient alternative to pump-style water
filters. Because it is designed for personal use, the Katadyn Bottle purifier is
not suitable for situations when large volumes of water must be treated.
HOW IT WORKS
The Katadyn MyBottle water purification system water bottle utilizes a multi-
stage filtration system. The first stage is an integrated 0.3 micron pleated
glassfiber prefilter that removes bacteria and protozoa like Giardia and
amoeba as well as particles larger than 0.3 microns. The second stage is the
3-layer ViruPur filter medium that adsorbs viruses and the smallest particles.
The third stage is a carbon postfilter that reduces organic contaminants and
unpleasant taste and odors.
