From Campmor:

Zippered carrying pouch included. 1 Pocket water microfilter 1 Ceramic microfilter cartridge 1 Input hose with modular prefilter 1 Output hose with universal bottle clip 1 Deluxe carry bag 2 Cleaning Pads Hydration System Connector"
From Backcountry.com:
"The Katadyn Pocket Filter is a durable water filter with an aluminum shell. The ceramic element in the Katadyn Pocket Filter will treat up to 13,000 gallons. Compare that to most other water filters out there and you'll see why Katadyn is one of the most respected brands in the industry. This ceramic water filter offers 0.2 micron filtration and a flow rate of up to 1 liter per minute. At 20oz, the Katadyn Pocket Filter isn't the lightest filter in the world but it's still quite compact and its rugged aluminum shell means it'll go the long haul. This is why it's standard issue for international Red Cross field workers. The Katadyn Pocket Filter will remove all giardia, fungi, parasites, cholera, typhoid, cryptosporidia, salmonella and other harmful bacteria, parasites, and germs. This filter will last you a long time if you expect to be in places where supplies (i.e. replacement filters) are not readily available. INCLUDES: Pump, filter, input hose (40) with acorn pre-filter and float, output hose with spring clip to clip onto bottles, hydration pack adaptor, a Scotchbrite cleaning pad, a measuring gauge, silicone lubricant, fabric bag and plastic zip lock bag for output hose. Measures 10 x 2."
From Oregon Mountain Community:

The silver impregnated ceramic element is effective against bacteria and protozoa. The Katadyn Pocket is the only water filter with a 20 year warranty.

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Tough enough to handle heavily silted water, the Katadyn Pocket Microfilter has a cleanable ceramic filter element that filters down to 0.2 microns, removing all known disease-causing bacteria and protozoa from your drinking water without the use of chemicals. Designed with few moving parts and an easy-maintenance design, it's the water filter of choice for traveling professionals and those who can't afford the Giardia diet plan deep in the backcountry. New features include a round pump handle for comfortable use and a bottle clip on the outlet hose."
