It protects the main microfilter cartridge from silt and turbid water, significantly extending its lifespan.

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. ## 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 | #133,107 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #1,866 in Water Filtration & Softeners | | Brand Name | Katadyn | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (224) | | 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 Highlight | Cleanable Pre-Filter Disc, Extends Microfilter Life, For Vario Water Filter, Backpacking & Camping | | Item Weight | 36 g | | Manufacturer | Katadyn | | Manufacturer Part Number | 8015035 | | Material Type | Ceramic, Plastic | | Model Number | 8015035 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 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 | | UPC | 604375150355 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **External Testing Certification:** NSF - **Item Weight:** 36 g - **Material:** Ceramic, Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 3"D x 5"W x 3.25"H ## Images ![Vario Ceramic Disc Replacement Pre-Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Pj0nYgEvS.jpg) ## 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? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/1098098-vario-ceramic-disc-replacement-pre-filter](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/1098098-vario-ceramic-disc-replacement-pre-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
