have a look at the shop of kaieteur07 - travel well for £51. I asked them nicely and they sent me the black pre-mac for the same price. Good quick service too.

This is a cracking price for this as they are around £70 normally - so good that part of me thinks that there must be a catch. On the other hand, it's got to be worth a trry - just off to log on to ebay and buy one.

Just bought one - doe anyone know where you can get replacement filters from?

 

[tenderfoot]

The one i got came with a fitted set of filters plus a spare set I have seen these sold online but cant remember where. However ,they are the same as the civilian ones and "go outdoors" sell them .

Thanks. You mean you've had yours delivered already? That's good going at this time of year.

How good are these at saltwater, that is sea water, filtering ?

mine arrived this morning, ordered it on the 22nd, so really fast delivery for this time of year. It's brand new and came with a spare set of filters.

Can't argue at that price and delivery, really happy with it

Linky sells the filters too.

no connection to sellers etc .....

This filter is not designed as a desalinator and would not be able to make saltwater, drinking water.

The Katadyn Desalinator Series will perhaps be your best choice for small, portable, 100% reliable desalinators.

Bit pricey for those though. Apparently there is so many passing boats on the National Park in Croatia they are happy to pass water to kayakers.

A version the Katadyn Survivor 35 Desalinator can be bought for about £135:00 plus shipping and UK Duty (and the Royal Mail £8:00 Handling Fee).

just bought one, looks like a very handy kit!

 

[Ssmithy]

Thanks for the heads up! a great bit of kit at a fantastic price

 

[Zammo]

Ta for the heads up too. I just bought one too he currently has two left for sale one with an additional large inlet pre filter. But I wasn't sure what that meant so got one of the others.

 

[Kerne]

Thanks, also, for the heads up. Just received mine - this guy is excellent to deal with: the first one arrived with a broken outlet pipe and he replaced it immediately and sent me a free pouch to compensate for the hassle. If only all eBayers were like him!

The Katadyn MK6 Desalinator is the PUR/Survivor 35, the MK6 is a military designation for the same unit.

I've confirmed with the seller that these are factory sealed, unissued and unused units which have been kept as Reserve Stock, these have NEVER been put in lifeboats!

I also confirmed with Katadyn that the only thing which may be prudent to do, is to renew the O rings, Katadyn do an O ring kit, buy it from the US for the best price.

The seller responds to e-mailed questions at lightspeed, Very, Very Impressive!
