Comments about Katadyn Hiker Pro Microfilter: I have owned another brand of water filter in the past. Without question the Hiker Pro is ten times more convenient and easy to use. On a recent backpacking trip we used the filter to get our water supply from lakes where we camped. We had instant drinking and cooking water. I highly recommend it.

Q:
I bought the pur hiker and I understand the new Hiker Pro filter will fit my devise. How long will the filter last? Mine is 16 years old but hasn't been used much. is it time to buy a new one?
thank you.Asked on 9/22/2011 by Anonymous from North Myrtle Beach, SC1 answer
A:
Your Hiker is a PUR. I have a Pur circa the same age as yours and I use the Hiker Pro cartridge in it and it works well, except for the little inconvenience of keeping a little water to act as a priming of the pump.Answered on 9/23/2011 by Steve from Campmor
Q:
Does this Hiker Pro have a larger pore filter than the Hiker? The specs for the Hiker say it is .2 and the specs for the Hiker Pro say .3. Is the .2 just a misprint, or did the old Hiker actually have a better filter than the new Hiker Pro?Asked on 9/19/2011 by memyselfandi from Pennsylvania1 answer
A:
Actually it is quite the opposite. The Hiker Pro will filter out smaller particles than the Hiker filter. The Pro also comes with a self cleaning kit. The Hiker Pro is an upgrade to the Hiker. The replacement cartridge for the Hiker Pro fits the Hiker filter essentially making it the same as the Hiker Pro.Answered on 9/21/2011 by Betty
Q:
1- Does the Hiker Pro filter out viruses? If not, do any of your filters do so?
2- What are the differences between the Hiker and Hiker Pro? Is it only the hydration bag attachment and the mesh sleeve?
3- Why does the Hiker filter have a .2 pore size and the Hiker Pro a .3?
Thank you.Asked on 3/29/2011 by Paladin from Winston Salem, NC1 answer

A:
1. The only filter certified as a purifier which is the standard for viral water contamination is the First Need water purifier item # 81249. Besides this filter you would need a chemical treatment to remove viruses ranging from portable aqua to the miox water purifier by MSR
