Description

The Katadyn BeFree Gravity 10L is a high-volume, hands-free water filtration system built for base camps, large groups, and emergency preparedness scenarios where clean water access for 5 to 10 people is essential. Fill the 10-liter collapsible bag from any stream, lake, river, or outdoor source, hang it from a branch, pole, or anchor point, and let gravity do the filtering while you focus on everything else. The 0.1 micron EZ-Clean hollow fiber membrane filters out sediment and fine particles at up to 2 L/min flow rate with up to 1,000L total capacity. At 10L per fill, it handles drinking and cooking water for large groups in a single cycle, and the collapsible bag stores flat when empty for efficient packing. No power, no pumping, no chemical treatments. Setup requires no tools and field cleaning is simple: shake or swish the filter element in water to restore full flow. BPA-free throughout and designed to scale with your needs, the BeFree Gravity 10L is trusted for backcountry base camps, family expeditions, and emergency water supply situations alike. Backed by nearly a century of Katadyn water filtration expertise.

    • Outstanding Performance on My Sierra Nevada Backpacking Trip!
Style: Gravity 3L
I took the Katadyn Gravity BeFree 3.0L Water Filter on my backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevadas, and it was phenomenal. The filter performed incredibly well, filling my Nalgene bottles in less than 20 seconds. It's hard to overstate how quick and efficient it was at providing clean water. The 3.0L capacity was a godsend for me – I was able to carry plenty of water back to camp for multiple people, and it was so nice to have fresh, clean water available without having to filter every time somebody needed a drink. I appreciated how lightweight and easy the system is to use. Even with the large capacity, it was easy to handle and set up – a consideration that's crucial when you're carrying everything on your back for a long hike. The EZ Clean membrane also made it easy to clean, and I had every confidence in the purity of the water I was drinking. Plus, the water tasted wonderful! Cool, clear, and refreshing, it was a welcome treat after a sweltering day on the trail. The only drawback I did notice was that the water bag itself could be somewhat prone to damage if you're not careful. You do have to be gentle with it so you don't puncture or rip it. So, just be aware of that when using it in rough conditions. Overall, I would suggest the Katadyn Gravity BeFree for any backpacking or camping trip. It's a sturdy, effective, and ultralight way to hydrate in the backcountry! ... show more

    • Super easy and fast.
Style: Gravity 3L
Bought this to use on a trip to the Boundary Waters. Was easily capable of providing enough water for all 4 of us. The flow rate was surprisingly fast. Filtered 3 liters of lake water in 3-5 minutes. After about 12 liters flow began to slow down, but a quick "swish" cleaning session returned filter to its original flow rate. Packs down fairly small, lightweight. The included strap for hanging is functional, albeit a little bulky. Only true complaint would be the fill method. Rather than the rear portion of the bag opening and allowing for scooping, it is only through the cap/filter end that the bag is filled. There is a nice loop attached to the bag that allows for pulling the bag through the water, but it still requires several scoops to get the bag full when drawing from a shallow water source. All of that could be avoided by making the other end an opening rather than sealed. Another nice touch is the quick connect cap, so that a hydration port tube can be attached allowing for drinking directly from the filter bag. Overall I am very happy with the system. ... show more

    • Fantastic product. Fast, efficient, easy to set up.

Review Image by Kindle Customer
It’s hard to imagine a better more well-thought-out device for backcountry water filtration. I have used the older version for many years, but upgraded to this one and it is an exceptionally well-thought-out device. From the flushable filter to a small pinch on the handle that will hold the hose. This product is extremely useful and easy to deploy. We recently used it for a group of 18 people on a whitewater rafting trip and it was exceptionally fast and easy to use. Highly recommended. Great value. ... show more

    • Superior Product
Style: Gravity 3L
Happy I went with Katadyn. Their competitor had an inferior product that broke on my 1st of 40 days on the AT in 2024. Katadyn built a solid product to withstand more than just 3 L. I used it for 6 weeks on the AT in 2025 and had no issues at all. I only had a couple issues of no water flow but realized the connecting tube was not secure - that was user error. Of the 6 weeks, I may have cleaned it about 4 times by rigorously shaking the b-jesus out of it. Instructions to clean are imprinted on the bag itself so no need to try to remember or bring the stupid little instruction book while hiking 450 miles in the woods : -D ... show more

    • Excellent product
Style: Gravity 3L
I thru-hiked the AT in 2021 and used three different water filtration systems on my hike. I used the BeFree for about half the hike. All three systems used the same filtration material; however, the BeFree is very different from the small cannister type systems that attach to a bottle or pouch. The flow rate on the BeFree using gravity was fast. Perhaps not quite as fast as squeezing water through a fresh cannister type, but fast enough to make the advantage of doing gravity feed a huge plus. The accessibility of the filter fibers makes consistent cleaning of the filter extremely fast and easy, and prolonged the flow rate of the filter substantially over the more sealed filter systems (even when I backflushed them on each use). The bag on the BeFree system is nice too. The bag's material flexibility and wide mouth allow for creative options to collect scarce water in drought conditions (it will also wedge onto a 1.5 inch PVC pipe with enough friction to remain their even under slight water pressure). ... show more

THE FILTER IS A WINNER. IT ROLLS UP SMALL AND CAN BE PACKED AWAY EASILY IN MY BACKPAK. I ALSO USE IT WHEN I GO ADVENTURE MOTORCYCLE RIDING. IT FITS EASILY IN MY KLIM VEST.
