Katadyn BeFree AC Bottle 0.7L Slate Blue
one bottle instead of a thousand

Buying bottled water abroad because you do not trust the tap? One membrane manages up to 1'000 litres – two thousand half-litre bottles from the kiosk you no longer need.

Buy the Katadyn BeFree AC Bottle 0.7L Slate Blue – refill instead of buy

The Katadyn BeFree AC Bottle 0.7L in slate blue is a rigid drinking bottle with an integrated water filter for travel, everyday use and day trips. The EZ-Clean Membrane with its 0.1 µm pore size retains bacteria, protozoa, sediment and microplastics, while the activated carbon downstream reduces chlorine along with taste and odour compounds. That lets you drink from the tap where you otherwise would not – and one membrane manages up to 1'000 litres. Slate blue is the series colour also carried by the BeFree AC 0.5L soft flask.

Two symptoms, two different causes

How to tell which filter stage has reached its end

The AC Bottle has two filter stages with different service lives, and they announce themselves differently. First symptom: flow drops and drinking becomes hard work. Then you shake the filter in clean water – if the flow returns, it was only a deposit on the hollow fibres and the membrane still has reserves. If shaking no longer helps, the membrane is approaching its 1'000 litres. Second symptom: the chlorine taste returns although the flow is fine. Then the activated carbon is spent after around 200 litres – the microbiological filtration is unaffected by this and carries on.

💧 Flow drops → shake; if it returns, it was a deposit
🔬 Shaking no longer helps → membrane nearing 1'000 litres
⚫ Taste returns → carbon spent after about 200 litres

1'000 litres – what that means against single-use bottles

The membrane’s capacity is up to 1'000 litres. Converted to standard half-litre bottles that is around two thousand of them that do not have to be bought, carried and disposed of. For travellers in regions where the tap water is not trusted, that is the real line item: buy two or three bottles a day and the purchase pays for itself within a few weeks – while you carry considerably less along the way.

Slate blue – the colour that also comes as a soft flask

Slate blue is carried not only by the AC Bottle but also by the BeFree AC 0.5L soft flask. If you use both formats – the rigid bottle for everyday life, bike and travel, the collapsible one for fast, light trips – you end up with a matching set. That is practical less for looks than for sorting: two bottles of the same brand in the same colour visibly belong together when several people in a household have their own drinking bottles.

What the filter does – and what it does not

The 0.1 µm membrane retains bacteria, protozoa, sediment and microplastics. Viruses are smaller and pass through – in regions with that risk you need additional chemical disinfection or UV treatment. Heavy metals and salt are not removed. The bottle is intended for clear to slightly turbid water; heavily silty water clogs the membrane quickly and should be left to settle or pre-filtered first.

Slate blue – and when another format fits better

Technically all four AC Bottle colours are identical; slate blue is the series colour also carried by the BeFree AC 0.5L soft flask, so the two combine into a set. Regardless of colour: if you want the empty bottle to disappear into your pack, a BeFree AC soft flask that rolls up serves you better. And if you fill several bottles at once in camp or prepare cooking water, choose a BeFree Gravity, where gravity does the work.

Who is the Katadyn BeFree AC Bottle 0.7L Slate Blue for?

The AC Bottle in slate blue is for travellers who want to avoid single-use bottles, for commuters and office workers with chlorine taste in the tap, and for hikers and cyclists looking for one bottle that works indoors and out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions – Katadyn BeFree AC Bottle 0.7L Slate Blue

Answers around the Katadyn BeFree AC Bottle 0.7L Slate Blue – from service life and when to replace to cleaning and Swiss shipping.

How much water does the Katadyn BeFree AC Bottle filter in total?
The EZ-Clean Membrane is rated for up to 1'000 litres, the activated carbon stage for around 200. Both figures depend on water quality – heavily loaded water shortens them noticeably.
How do I notice the membrane has reached its end?
By the flow. If it drops, first shake the filter in clean water. If the flow then returns, it was only a deposit. If shaking no longer helps, the membrane is approaching its 1'000 litres.
How do I notice the activated carbon is spent?
By the taste. If the chlorine taste returns while the flow is unchanged, the activated carbon has its roughly 200 litres behind it. The membrane’s microbiological filtration is unaffected by this.
How many single-use bottles does one membrane replace?
Up to 1'000 litres corresponds to around two thousand standard half-litre bottles. If you buy two or three bottles a day while travelling, the purchase pays for itself within a few weeks.
What does the «AC» in the name stand for?
AC stands for activated carbon. It forms the second filter stage behind the membrane and reduces chlorine along with taste and odour compounds. It has no bearing on microbiological safety.
How do I clean the filter?
Hold it in clean water and shake it vigorously – the deposited particles come off the hollow fibres and the flow is back. No backflush syringe or other tool is needed.
Does the bottle fit a bike bottle cage?
Yes. The outer diameter is 75 millimetres, the common size for bike bottle cages. It therefore also fits most cup holders.
Is slate blue also available on other BeFree models?
Yes, the BeFree AC 0.5L soft flask also comes in slate blue. If you use both formats – the rigid bottle for everyday life and cycling, the collapsible one for light trips – you can combine them as a set.
Can I clean the bottle in a dishwasher?
Take the filter out before cleaning – heat and detergents can damage the hollow fibres and the activated carbon. Clean the filter itself only by shaking it in clean water.
How fast does Swiss-Sale.ch ship the Katadyn BeFree AC Bottle 0.7L?
Orders placed before 17:00 usually ship the same working day. We send with Swiss Post, and delivery within Switzerland takes 1–2 working days. Orders from CHF 100 ship free of charge.
Why buy the Katadyn BeFree AC Bottle from Swiss-Sale.ch?
Swiss-Sale.ch is an official Swiss dealer for Katadyn. You get fast shipping from a Swiss warehouse (no customs, no waiting), personal advice on the right format, and warranty handling directly in Switzerland.
What should I watch out for in use?
Keep the raw and clean water sides separate: if the drinking cap touches unfiltered water or the outside of the bottle, the filtration is void. Store the bottle frost-free and let it dry openly after use.
