Features

Katadyn BeFree AC 0.5L Filter System is a compact, dual-stage water filtration solution engineered for high-performance hydration in space-constrained outdoor and active use scenarios. The system integrates a 0.5-liter soft flask designed for minimal bulk, allowing it to fit in running vests, jacket pockets, or small packs. Filtration is performed through an EZ-Clean Membrane hollow fiber filter rated at 0.1 micron, removing bacteria and protozoa, while an optional activated carbon stage reduces chemicals and enhances taste and odor. The system delivers a flow rate of up to 2 liters per minute, supporting rapid, on-demand hydration without pumping.

The durable flask includes an integrated handle for easy carrying, hanging, or attachment to gear, along with a flip cap designed to prevent leakage during movement. The modular filtration approach allows the carbon stage to be added or removed depending on water source conditions. Maintenance is simplified through the EZ-Clean Membrane, which can be cleaned without tools by shaking or swishing in water to restore flow performance. This lightweight system provides efficient, adaptable filtration in a highly portable format suitable for running, cycling, hiking, and travel use.
