A 3 stage water purification system that answers the classic question, “Is this water safe to drink?” The Explorer Pro is built on a legacy of filters and purifiers that have been keeping people hydrated and healthy for decades. Katadyn’s Explorer Pro uses three different filtration elements to make your water both safe to drink and taste good. The first stage is a fine ceramic element that removes particulate down to 0.2 microns — things like bacteria, parasites, sediment, microplastics, and more. The second stage is an activated carbon core; this makes your water taste like water, something not all filters do. And finally, the third stage is a hollow fibre filter that removes particulate down to 0.01 microns — things like viruses and microorganisms that might have made it past the first two filters. Utilizing a clever modular design, you can customize your filter to your trip. Backpacking in the Rockies where you’ll be drinking pure, cool glacier melt and don’t need to worry about flavour or viruses? Then leave the carbon and hollow fibre filters at home. Canoeing in Killarney Park where you’ll be drinking from lakes and streams and aren’t concerned with viruses? Leave the hollow fibre filter at home. Heading on a tropical safari where you never really know where your water will come from? Then take all three elements and stay safe. With this purifier you get safe water that tastes like it should, whether you’re in a tropical jungle or a dodgy hotel.
