Katadyn 1120070 Siphon Hey everyone, Aquaman here with FilterDoctor.com.
Today we’re looking at the Katadyn 1120070 Siphon filter.
This utilizes a 0.2 micron silver impregnated ceramic to produce 1.4 gallons of filtered
water per hour. You simply put the ceramic element in any elevated container, then run
this long six foot rubber hose down to a vessel that can collect the filtered water, and let
the siphon action take over. There’s absolutely no pumping necessary.
The ceramic is a really neat material, it filters down to 0.2 microns, which means it
removes bacteria, microbial cysts like cryptosporidium and giardia, even algae and protozoa are captured
in this element. And the silver impregnation causes the filter to be bacteriostatic and
self-sterilizing, meaning that microorganisms cannot live and grow on this filter media.
Perhaps the greatest feature of this ceramic filter is the reusability factor. It can be
washed and reused many many times. Simply take the provided green Scotchbrite and scrub
the exterior surface, either under running water or in a pool of water, and then you’re
back in business. They’ve even provided a tool to measure
the outside diameter of the filter. Once the tool can go over the filter, it’s too thin
and it needs to be replaced. Filter life is approximately 5,000 gallons.
Again, this is the Katadyn 1120070 Siphon filter, and I’m your host Aquaman with FilterDoctor.com.
Thanks for watching.
