Katadyn BeFree Gravity 6L
hang it up instead of pumping

Twenty minutes of pumping after eight hours on the trail? The BeFree Gravity hangs from a branch and fills the whole group’s bottles while you pitch the tent.

Buy the Katadyn BeFree Gravity 6L – water for the group without pumping

The Katadyn BeFree Gravity 6L is a gravity water filter for trekking, camping and base camps: fill the reservoir, hang it up, let it run. The EZ-Clean Membrane with a 0.1 µm pore size retains bacteria, cysts and sediment and manages up to 2 litres per minute – without anyone having to stand at the unit and pump. Six litres cover a cooking round and the bottles of a small group, and at 263 grams the complete system barely registers in a backpack.

How gravity operation changes camp routine

A pump filter ties up a person: someone has to sit at the water’s edge and work until every bottle is full. The BeFree Gravity turns that around. You fill the 6-litre reservoir once, hang it from a branch or tent pole and get on with your work – the water runs by itself. The window shows how much is left at any time without taking the bag down. For groups that means not just less effort but above all: water treatment runs in parallel with cooking, pitching or changing rather than after it.

The outlet hose with quick coupling

The outlet carries a coupling with a stop function: release the hose and the valve closes automatically instead of letting the rest of the bag run onto the ground. That lets you switch between bottles without losing water and move a full reservoir without emptying it first. The hose itself is removable and attached via quick-release nipples, so the system can also be drained straight into a water bag or canister.

What the filter does – and what it does not

With a 0.1 µm pore size the EZ-Clean Membrane removes bacteria, protozoa or cysts, and sediment from the water. Viruses are smaller and are not retained – in regions with that risk you need additional chemical disinfection or UV treatment. Nor does the filter remove dissolved chemicals, heavy metals or salt. For mountain streams, lakes and springs in Europe and North America, its typical use case, it covers the relevant pathogen spectrum.

6 or 10 litres – which size suits your group?

The 6-litre version is the right choice for two to four people: one filling covers dinner plus the bottles for the next morning, and the reservoir still hangs comfortably from a branch. If you supply larger groups or want fewer trips to the water at base camp, choose the BeFree Gravity 10L – it offers two thirds more volume for only about 20 grams more weight. Both use the same EZ-Clean Membrane and the same spare parts. Buy the Katadyn BeFree Gravity 6L at Swiss-Sale.ch – your Swiss specialist shop for outdoor gear with fast shipping.
