## Overview

The Katadyn Vario Ceramic Disc is a durable pre-filter designed to block large particles and sediment, preventing clogging and extending the life of your Vario water purifier. Lightweight and easy to replace, this essential component restores filtration speed and ensures clean, safe water during camping and hiking expeditions.

## Description

The Katelyn Vario replacement disc Ceramic is used to block larger particles from reaching the Pleated Filter cartridge to prevent clogging and increase the life of the filtration system. The Ceramic disc should be replaced when the disc becomes visibly damaged and worn, or when the plastic is showing through the Ceramic surface.

Review: Replacement prefilter disc for Vario - Katadyn makes a great filter, and these discs help to keep the filter media clean from debris. It's important to realize that filtering water with sediment will dramatically cut the life of the filter, because this unit (the Vario) is actually a PURIFIER. Now I've used it to clean some really nasty water, and it worked great. When you're out on the trail, sometimes that is your only option. But doing so kills the filter. This "pre-filter" ceramic disc is cleaned with a green scrub pad (or when mine got really bad I used steel wool). This is simply a replacement for the stock piece, and works great.
Review: Cheap, easy fix for slow filtration - First off, the Vario is a great water filter. I do a lot of camping and backpacking, and have had three or four different brands over the years. I currently have a Pur model also, but prefer the Katadyn hands down for its ergonomic use and selectable speed based on the desired life of the filter. This ceramic disc is one of three replaceable pieces of the Katadyn Vario filter, along with the carbon packs and the actual micro filter. Of the three, this is probably the easiest to replace, and can make a huge difference towards the speed of filtration when you're swapping a new ceramic disc for an old one. The included instructions are easy to follow, if you haven't already figured it out based on cleaning your filter post-use. This piece is also the most difficult of the three to find (EMS, Cabela's and REI all failed to stock this) so desertcart is definitely the place to buy this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Replacement prefilter disc for Vario

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product and performs as expected.
*by R***D on July 9, 2016*

I am satisfied with the quality of this disc. I have had my Katadyn water filter for a few years now and the disk has performed fantastic. I have had no complaints and purchased this one as a replacement.
