What is the BeFree AC Bottle 0.9L?
The Katadyn BeFree AC Bottle 0.9L is a lightweight, squeezable water filter bottle that makes accessing clean, great-tasting water straightforward, whether you're filling up along the trail, cycling or travelling. Its two-stage filtration system combines Katadyn's EZ-Clean Membrane™ with activated carbon to remove bacteria, protozoa and microplastics while reducing chlorine and unwanted odours.
Materials & Technology
EZ-Clean Membrane™ Hollow Fibre Filter
The BeFree AC Bottle uses Katadyn's EZ-Clean Membrane™, a hollow-fibre filtration system that removes bacteria, protozoa, and microplastics from drinking water. The membrane has a stated lifespan of up to 1,000 litres, depending on water quality, and can easily be replaced when necessary.
Activated Carbon Filtration
The second filtration stage is an activated carbon filter that improves the taste and smell of drinking water while removing chlorine, delivering reliable, fresh-tasting water. The activated carbon stage has a lifespan of up to 200 litres, depending on water quality, and can also easily be replaced when necessary.
Features & Functionality
Two-Stage Filtration
The BeFree AC combines two filtration technologies to address different aspects of water quality. The EZ-Clean Membrane™ removes bacteria, protozoa and microplastics, while the activated carbon stage reduces chlorine and odours. Together, they help produce cleaner, better-tasting drinking water from a wider range of sources.
Fast Flow Rate
With a flow rate of up to 2 litres per minute, the BeFree AC lets you access filtered water without waiting for it to trickle through slowly.
Whether you're taking a quick drink during a bike ride or refilling along the trail, the fast-flowing filter makes staying hydrated easier.
Squeezable Bottle
The flexible bottle body can be squeezed to assist water flow through the filter, making drinking straightforward without needing a separate pump or filtration system.
EZ-Clean Maintenance
Keeping the hollow fibre membrane clean is simple. Just shake or swish it in water to dislodge accumulated debris. No specialist tools or complicated backflushing procedures are required, making maintenance convenient when you're travelling or spending several days outdoors.
Flip-Cap Mouthpiece
The flip-cap mouthpiece gives you easy access to filtered water while keeping the opening covered and clean when not in use.
Integrated Carry Handle
An integrated handle around the bottle neck gives you an easy way to pick up and carry the bottle throughout the day or attach it to your gear with a carabiner if you wish.
Replaceable Filtration Components
The BeFree AC uses replaceable filtration components, including the hollow fibre filter element and activated carbon cartridges. These can be replaced separately when they reach the end of their service life, helping extend the lifespan of the bottle without the need to buy an entire new water filter.
