What is the output and cartridge capacity of the Vario Microfilter?

The Vario Microfilter has an output of up to 2 quarts per minute and a cartridge capacity of up to 500 gallons.

What does the Vario Microfilter include?

The Vario Microfilter includes a prefilter, cleaning pad, and deluxe carry bag.

Is the Vario Microfilter suitable for all water conditions?

Yes, the Vario Microfilter is adjustable for different water conditions, ensuring optimal filtration.

What kind of volume can this filter and in what period of time? Can it work for a small family for cooking/drinking purposes in an emergency?

Look for the survivor filter PRO. They use a .01 (not 0.1) microns final filter over regular 0.1 filter, which is way better than Katadyn.

How many gallons can it filter per filter?

The ceramic prefilter protects the fiber filter from very cloudy water. The ceramic filter can be removed and scrubbed clean to be reused again. Replacements of these filters within the unit are available.

Does it filter chlorine?

The carbon filter may remove some taste of chlorine, but will not eliminate it in the water.

Does this come with the second hose or do you have to use it with a water bottle?

It does come with a second hose to throw into the river.

How do you know when the filter has been used up?

This has a ceramic filter which means that it will be good for up to 6-8 years unless you are using it everyday. You will notice the water flow slow a little bit about every 50 or so gallons and then all you need to do it take out the ceramic filter and wipe it down with a clean cloth or steel wool and it will be back to normal flow.

What is the micron rating?

I do not know what the micron rating is but it would depend on if you have it set on the double filter or the single filter.

Does this filter protect against Giardia?

Yes, it does protect against Giardia.

What is the difference between this Katadyn Vario costing $86.01 and the one costing $374?

The $374 one appears to be sold from Japan. The $86 one may be the same, but for sure it works.

How much does it weigh when not pumping water? Is it good for backpacking?

It weighs 1 lb and can filter around 500 gallons depending on your water source. This is a great piece to add to your backpack and worth every ounce.
