Review: Great Carbon Filter - 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.
Review: Useful item, fits Kleen Kanteen - 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.
