Collection: Katadyn

Katadyn's history is rooted in over 80 years of innovation and discovery, and surrounded by a nostalgic air of test tubes and bunsen burners. In the 1930's, Professor Alexander Krause of Munich, Germany, discovered that by using silver ions deposited in water via electrolysis, he could purify it bacteriologically. Katadyn has been at the forefront of water purification and desalination ever since, and is currently the choice of a whopping 50% of the water purification market. In 2001, Katadyn joined Exstream and PUR Outdoor, and in 2007 Optimus Sweden joined forces to present a formidable array of high quality equipment and tools for the outdoors-person.
