{"product_id":"katadyn-vario-water-filter-1723777","title":"Katadyn Vario Water Filter","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen you are miles from the nearest trailhead and staring down a murky, slow-moving alpine creek, you need more than just a straw—you need a reliable pumping station. The Katadyn Vario bridges the gap between raw backcountry utility and refined engineering, employing a sophisticated three-stage system that handles everything from silt-heavy glacial melt to tannin-stained forest pools. By toggling the dual-pumping mechanism, you can shift gears on the fly: engage the fast-flow mode to fill a multi-liter bladder in minutes, or switch to long-life mode when the water is teeming with sediment, effectively extending the lifespan of your filters. The internal ceramic disc acts as the first line of defense, keeping the fine glass-fiber membrane from choking, while the replaceable activated carbon core strips away those harsh chemical off-notes and stale aftertastes. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT CONDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"UnNewText\"\u003eThis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"displayNameDesc\"\u003eKatadyn Vario Water Filter\u003c\/span\u003e is in \u003cspan class=\"condition\"\u003eUnNew With Tags\u003c\/span\u003e condition.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"conditionText\"\u003eProducts in UnNew With Tags condition appear to be unused and still retain their original retail tags.
