Lightweight and field cleanable, this ceramic disc ensures reliable, customizable filtration performance for outdoor enthusiasts who demand clean water on every adventure. ## Description Keep the microfilter in your Katadyn Vario Water Filter going strong with a new Vario Ceramic Disc. The cleanable ceramic disc lengthens the life of your microfilter so you can tackle trail after trail with fresh-tasting, clean water. The ceramic pre-filter shields the main glass fiber cartridge from silt and turbid water when you engage Longer Life mode on the Vario, dramatically extending the usable life of the more expensive microfilter element underneath. Field-cleanable with the pad included with your Vario filter. 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. ## Features - CERAMIC DISC REPLACEMENT FOR THE KATADYN VARIO FILTER: A go-to piece of backpacking camping gear, the Vario Ceramic Disc shields the main glass fiber cartridge from silt and turbid water to extend the life of your Vario microfilter. - EXTENDS MICROFILTER LIFE IN DIRTY WATER: When you engage Longer Life mode on the Vario, the ceramic disc absorbs the wear from silt and turbid water that would otherwise clog and shorten the life of the main cartridge underneath. - CLEANABLE AND REUSABLE FOR LONG-HAUL USE: Clean the ceramic disc in the field with the brush pad included with your Vario filter to restore flow and continue filtering. The disc is fully replaceable when it reaches the end of its serviceable life. - DROP-IN COMPATIBILITY WITH THE KATADYN VARIO: Sized specifically for the Vario filter housing. Install when your original disc shows wear or when you want a fresh start before a long backpacking trip or thru-hike. - Katadyn Has Been Making Water Safe Since 1928: For nearly 100 years, Katadyn has delivered clean water to hikers, travelers, campers, and aid workers worldwide. At home, on the road, or in the backcountry, clean water within reach. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001ANF79A | | Best Sellers Rank | #150,298 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #2,067 in Water Filtration & Softeners | | Brand | Katadyn | | Brand Name | Katadyn | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 223 Reviews | | External Testing Certification | NSF | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00604375150355 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 3"D x 5"W x 3.25"H | | Item Weight | 36 g | | Manufacturer | Katadyn | | Manufacturer Part Number | 8015035 | | Material | Ceramic, Plastic | | Material Type | Ceramic, Plastic | | Model Number | 8015035 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Cleanable ceramic pre-filter disc, Extends Vario microfilter life, Engages with Longer Life mode, Shields main cartridge from silt, Field-cleanable with brush pad, Drop-in replacement for Vario, Reusable across many trips Product Benefits Cleanable ceramic pre-filter disc, Extends Vario microfilter life, Engages with Longer Life mode, Shields main cartridge from silt, Field-cleanable with brush pad, Drop-in replacement for Vario, Reusable across many trips See more | | Product Dimensions | 3"D x 5"W x 3.25"H | | UPC | 604375150355 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Katadyn Vario Ceramic Disc Replacement Pre-Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Pj0nYgEvS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Replacement prefilter disc for Vario *by H***R on September 28, 2015* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap, easy fix for slow filtration *by M***E on November 19, 2012* 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 replacement is a "must have" if you're filtering really bad/dirty water. It is easy to replace in the field IF you follow the directions carefully and be aware that one can cross contaminate the filter body. We've had no problems with the filters as long as we treated the assembly carefully. Recommend at least one of these spare replacement filters be included in one's kit when going on a excursion. ## Frequently Bought Together - Katadyn Vario Water Filter's Replacement ceramic pre-filter disc - Katadyn Water Filter's Vario Activated carbon refill pack (2 pieces) - KATADYN Water Filter Bottle Adaptor Active Carbon --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/1098098-katadyn-vario-ceramic-disc-replacement-pre-filter](https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/1098098-katadyn-vario-ceramic-disc-replacement-pre-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Malaysia* *Store origin: MY* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
