## Description

desertcart.com : Katadyn BeFree 1.0L Water Filter, Fast Flow, 0.1 Micron EZ Clean Membrane for Endurance Sports, Camping and Backpacking, One Size, 8018006 : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Great filter - Great filter for outdoors - easy to clean (swish filter in clean water) and 1 liter bottle is light and compact (will fit in coat pocket with filter). I could gotten a 2 or 3 liter bottle but 1 liter is fine since you can filter into a larger storage bag if necessary. I have the Sawyer but after my friend showed me his Katadyn BeFree and the rapid filter/flow, I got it and my Sawyer is now my back up. Only filters water born parasites but does not filter viruses or chemical contaminates.
Review: These are great filters. Easy to use, easy to pack, easy to clean. - My go to filter for most backpacking trips. Easy to use with minimal fuss. Not perhaps the best bet if you need high volume for a larger group, but easily meets the demands of 2-3 people.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this leak easily?**
A: I invite you to go to o e of my favorite YouTube channels “Joe Robinet” he has been using these for the past year, last year he spent 254 days outside camping Kayaking, and hiking. These are in my opinion the best on the market. No they do not leak. Just replace the O ring as you replace filters and you’ll be fine, I personally always take a back up when I’m out for more than two days, but have never had any problems.

**Q: How small does it fold down to?**
A: about the size of wide rim double shot glass

**Q: Can you purchase the 1L softflask by itself? Mine got punctured.**
A: Thanks for your question. The 1L flasks are not for sale by themselves but our Katadyn customer service team would be happy to work with you in regards to your punctured flask. Please email us here: cs@katadyn.com. Alternatively, the Hydrapak Seeker 3L and 2L are compatible with the befree filter and are good options.

**Q: Can i screw the filter on another water bottle?**
A: The Katadyn BeFree filter can fit on any 42mm threaded bottle. Hydrapak's 750ml Stash, or any of their Seeker flasks are a good example.

My go to filter for most backpacking trips. Easy to use with minimal fuss. Not perhaps the best bet if you need high volume for a larger group, but easily meets the demands of 2-3 people.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My go-to water filter!
*by S***N on October 25, 2025*

This is by far this Superior Water Filter in my opinion. Great quality last for a long time. The poor rate is so awesome! When your Backcountry and out for a couple weeks this is the water filter to go with in my opinion. Quick and fast filling, packs up nice and small. This one is great The filter self takes a bit of getting used to and after a year it can get a little slowed down so just invest in a new filter top. But overall I have been so impressed with this and am an avid user for the last 5 Years
