Katadyn Filter Hose Set
the intake side complete
Where the hose hangs decides how clean the raw water is – and with it, how long your filter element lasts. Float and weight hold it in the right place.
Buy the Katadyn filter hose set – the complete intake side
The Katadyn filter hose set contains everything needed on the raw water side of a Katadyn pump filter: a 200 cm intake hose with 7.6 mm outer and 4.2 mm inner diameter, the prefilter with hose connector, a float and a weight. The set fits six Katadyn models – Pocket, Combi, Vario, Hiker Pro, Explorer and Explorer Pro – and is made in Switzerland. It serves as a replacement for damaged parts just as well as a second set for longer trips.
Where the hose hangs decides
Why float and weight are more than accessories
In any standing or slow-flowing water the water is layered: sediment swirls just above the bottom, while pollen and leaf debris float at the surface. The clearest layer lies in between – and that is exactly where the intake point belongs. The float keeps the hose end away from the bottom layer, the weight stops it drifting to the surface. Together they hold the intake point steady in the clear zone. This is not cosmetic: every gram of suspended matter that does not enter the system extends the filter element’s service life – particularly with non-cleanable elements such as the Hiker Pro’s.
200 cm – and why the length counts
Two metres of hose sounds generous but is often exactly right in practice. On steep stream banks, over rock edges or from a jetty you have to reach the water without standing in it yourself – and without having to set the pump down in the wet. The length also lets you place the intake point further out, where the water is clearer than in the trampled bank area. With a 4.2 mm inner diameter, flow resistance stays low enough that pumping performance does not noticeably suffer.
One set for six filters
Katadyn has kept the intake side consistent across the ranges: this set fits the Pocket, Combi, Vario, Hiker Pro, Explorer and Explorer Pro. For households or organisations with several units that means a single spare part instead of a list of model-specific items. And anyone switching from one model to another can keep using their familiar intake equipment.
When a hose should be replaced
The intake hose is a wear part that often gets overlooked. Watch for cracks and kinks – a kinked hose throttles flow, and a crack draws air, which shows up as a stuttering pump. A hose that is permanently discoloured or slimy inside should also be replaced: it sits on the raw water side, but a contaminated hose introduces fresh microbial load into the system on every use. Rinse the hose after each trip and let it dry openly.

The cheapest spare with the greatest effect
Measured against what a filter element costs, the intake side is the cheapest lever on a water filter’s running costs. An intact prefilter, a float that keeps the intake point out of the sediment, and a hose without cracks keep suspended solids away before they reach the element – and that translates directly into service life. Because the set fits six Katadyn models, it is also the spare worth keeping in reserve for almost any Katadyn user.
