I got the larger 2L. **Q: How is swishing water inside cleaning the filter? Wouldn't that just redistribute bad stuff around instead of it actually leaving the filter?** A: The agitation loosens the debris from the filter. It’s the same action as backflowing a Sawyer. The Katadyn filter is exposed and moves more freely allowing debris to fall out . But for a long trip this should only be a back up it is fragile. **Q: going overseas and will not be able to drink tap water. Can I fill this from tap and assume I can then drink the water?** A: I would say yes. However, I like to treat a liter of tap water with a chorine tablet each evening so that I have a full liter of purified water every day. I think the Katadyn tube holds less than a half liter. **Q: Can you use purifying tablets/drops in the bottle along with the filter in place?** A: You probably can, but why? The point of this filter/bottle is that it purifies water to 0.1 microns. This takes care of all cysts, Protozoa, bacteria etc. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple and Quick - Works Fine *by P***O on January 6, 2026* Works as seen on TV, lol.

I’ve used it a couple times when on a long hike, I just have it thrown in the bottom of my backpack and it’s withstood the abuse (durable), it filters super quickly and is a nice size! True necessity! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant. *by J***N on September 15, 2021* Katadyn BeFree 0.6L Water Filter, Fast Flow, 0.1 Micron EZ Clean Membrane... (8019639): Literally a life saver. Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink. Sound familiar? If you've ever run out of water on the trail for whatever reason, you know it can turn to a very difficult if not deadly situation very quickly. With this magnificent bottle, you can get your water on the go and feel good about it. I first used it in Brazil. Very hot day and there in town was a pipe with water coming out of it. I had no idea where it came from or anything else about it. I filled up my Katadyn bottle and drank it. It was very refreshing and with no consequences. That was years ago and just last week I went through 5 refills hiking through Shenandoah National Park. Just be careful to keep the output clean! ## Frequently Bought Together - BeFree 0.6L Water Filter, Fast Flow, 0.1 Micron EZ Clean Membrane for Endurance Sports, Camping and Backpacking (8019639) - Katadyn BeFree Replacement Cartridge - Katadyn BeFree 1.0L Ultralight Collapsible Water Filter Bottle for Hiking, Camping, Backpacking --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/36572153-katadyn-befree-collapsible-water-filter-bottle-0-6l-for-hiking](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/36572153-katadyn-befree-collapsible-water-filter-bottle-0-6l-for-hiking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
