Three-Stage Performance for Your Biggest Adventures
From remote trails to backcountry basecamps, the Katadyn Explorer Pro delivers clean, great-tasting water with a first-of-its-kind three-stage system that brings ceramic microfiltration, activated carbon, and virus removal together in one modular design. The activated carbon and virus stages can be included or left out as needed, letting you tailor the setup to each trip. The ceramic cartridge ensures consistent output, while activated carbon keeps water tasting fresh. All stages can be stored dry between outings to help preserve long-term performance. Rugged and adaptable, the Explorer Pro keeps you moving forward on your biggest adventures.
3-Stage Filtration
Ceramic microfiltration, activated carbon, and optional virus protection (in Pro version) combine for a comprehensive solution—even in heavily contaminated water.
Clean, Great-Tasting Water
Activated carbon improves taste and reduces odors—so water from questionable sources is clean, clear, and refreshing.
Built for the Backcountry
Rugged design with a steel pump piston stands up to harsh environments and frequent use.
Long-Term Storage, Zero Hassle
Ceramic and virus filters can be stored dry—no risk of mold, no maintenance required, and always ready to go.
Modular & Flexible
Customize your filter to your environment. Use ceramic only for moderate conditions, or upgrade to the Pro version for virus protection.
