"The Katadyn Vario Water Filter is one of the best water filters out there with its benefits of a long life and fast flow in one product. Katadyn makes the Vario filter adjustable for different field conditions with a combined ceramic and pleated technology, and dual piston technology providing the most efficient, fastest flow available. Involved in the filtration process, you get a high-performance glass fiber filter, an activated carbon filter (for eliminating odors) and a preliminary ceramic filter stage that can be manually added if needed.Depending on how much you need to filter your water, there are different stages you can adjust it to get the efficiency you need. The Katadyn line of filters is so efficient and durable, many disaster relief organizations and militaries use Katadyn products for survival and rescue purposes.The Vario Water Filter just won the distinguished "Industry Award 2006" of the European Outdoor trade show, as well as the "Ispo Outdoor Award Summer 2006""

From Backcountry.com:
"Katadyn's lightweight Vario Dual Technology MicroFilter adjusts for dirty water or normal water conditions, so you get the cleanest, freshest water possible no matter where you're backpacking. A simple turn engages the ceramic prefilter when you're pumping out of a muddy lake so the pleated glass-fiber filter inside doesn't get destroyed. After a long, hard hike, this Katadyn water filter's dual piston pump works smoothly and easily pumping out up to 2-liters per minute. The Vario Dual Technology Filter removes waterborne bacteria so you can drink safely on your camping trips, and uses a replaceable carbon core and cleanable ceramic disc. Attach Katadyn's adaptor base directly to your standard Nalgene water bottle opening, or use the output hose for larger water containers."
