Water filter bottle adapter Katadyn 8013450 for activated carbon cartridges

The Katadyn 8013450 water filter bottle adapter enables the use of activated carbon cartridges with compatible water bottles. It is designed to connect standard bottle necks to filtration cartridges, allowing removal of chlorine taste and reduction of certain organic contaminants when used with suitable activated carbon inserts. The adapter is intended for situations where bottle-based filtration is preferred, such as travel, outdoor activities, or emergency water treatment, and provides a compact way to upgrade an ordinary bottle into a simple carbon-filtering system.

Advantages

The adapter offers a lightweight and compact accessory that converts many standard bottles into carbon-filter capable containers without modifying the bottle itself. It is compatible with activated carbon cartridges designed for bottle filtration, enabling on-the-go reduction of chlorine taste and some chemical residues. The simple screw-on design allows quick installation and removal, and the construction materials are selected for safe contact with drinking water.

Suitable for

• Travel and vacations where bottled water quality varies
• Hiking, camping and other outdoor activities requiring lightweight filtration
• Emergency preparedness and survival kits for basic water taste and contaminant reduction
• Everyday use with compatible bottles to improve taste of tap or bottled water

Key specifications

• Function: connects bottle neck to activated carbon filtration cartridge
• Compatibility: fits standard bottle threads designed for screw-on adapters (check bottle neck size and thread type)
• Material: water-safe plastics suitable for contact with drinking water
• Weight: lightweight for portability
• Installation: screw-on connection for easy attachment and removal

How to use

Install an appropriate activated carbon cartridge into the adapter according to the cartridge manufacturer's instructions, then screw the adapter onto a compatible bottle neck until secure. Fill the bottle with source water and allow water to pass through the carbon cartridge by gravity or gentle squeezing, depending on the cartridge design. Replace the activated carbon cartridge at the intervals recommended by its manufacturer to maintain filtration performance. Rinse components as instructed before first use and after each cartridge change.

Usage recommendations

Use only activated carbon cartridges specified as compatible with this type of bottle adapter. The adapter reduces chlorine taste and certain organic compounds but is not designed to remove biological contaminants or to replace certified microbiological filters. For water of uncertain microbial quality, use an appropriate microbiological treatment in addition to carbon filtration.
