Review: Lightweight, packs up small, very practical. - I bought this for a hiking trip to Yosemite, but, to be honest, I never actually used it on the trail because I always packed enough water. However, I’ve used it a few times to purify and filter hotel sink water, and it works great. The bottle is made of malleable but fairly rugged rubber that rolls up and packs into a very small size that fits in my backpack. Therefore, I carry it everywhere with me, which makes it very practical. The ability to filter water in virtually any situation that life brings is comforting. Knowing that if my car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, and I can find any body of water and be able to quench my thirst safely is sort of cool.
Review: My go-to water filter! - 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

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are great filters. Easy to use, easy to pack, easy to clean.
*by F***L on December 18, 2025*

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.
