The Katadyn Micropur range offers two solutions for different water treatment needs:
- Micropur Classic – for water preservation
This silver ion-based treatment helps prevent the growth of microorganisms, keeping previously filtered drinking water clean for up to 6 months. It is ideal for situations where water needs to be stored for extended periods.
Micropur Classic is suitable for clear water and can be used in both plastic and glass containers.
- Micropur Forte – for water disinfection
Combining silver ions and chlorine, Micropur Forte helps eliminate bacteria and viruses present in water. The required contact time is 30 minutes for bacteria and viruses, and 120 minutes for Giardia. If the water is cloudy, it must first be passed through a suitable water filter, as suspended particles can reduce the effectiveness of disinfection.
- Tablets or liquid – which should you choose?
Tablets are compact, lightweight and convenient for backpacking. The liquid version allows for drop-by-drop dosing and can be more convenient when treating different volumes of water. Choose the option that best suits your needs, taking into account the intended use and the instructions on the packaging.
- Did you know? Water filters and water treatment products complement each other. A filter helps remove particles and, depending on the filter type, microorganisms, while a chemical treatment helps eliminate certain pathogens.
Always follow the instructions and contact times specified on the individual product label!
