Ultralight water filter where the water is purified as you drink
Katadyn BeFree 0.6L is a compact and extremely lightweight water filter developed for shorter trips, trail running, mountain biking, fishing, and fast hikes. You fill the flexible bottle with water, screw on the filter, and drink directly – the water is purified at the very moment you squeeze the bottle. No pumping, no hoses, and no waiting time. The collapsible soft bottle takes up minimal space when empty and easily fits in running shorts, cycling jersey, fishing vest, or the outer pocket of a backpack. With a total weight of only 59 grams, the BeFree 0.6L is one of the lightest water filters in its class.
Efficient filtration with high flow rate
BeFree uses a Hollow Fiber filter with 0.1-micron pore size that effectively reduces bacteria, protozoa, and sediment from natural water sources. The construction with thin hollow fibers provides a high flow rate of up to 2 liters per minute, allowing you to drink or refill quickly without having to wait. The filter has a total capacity of up to 1000 liters, depending on water quality – longer with clear running water and shorter with more turbid sources.
Easy cleaning in the field – EZ-Clean Membrane™
If the filter should get clogged, it is easily cleaned with Katadyn's EZ-Clean solution. Fill the bottle with water and shake vigorously, or unscrew the filter and rinse it by quickly "swishing" it in water. No tools or backflushing required. Note that the filter should not be rinsed horizontally under running tap water, as this can damage the filter structure.

Things to consider when collecting water
For best results, water should be collected from as running and clear water as possible. Avoid stagnant, obviously turbid water bodies. If possible, collect water a bit away from the shoreline and avoid surface water.
