Micropur, a leading name in water purification for hiking and travel

Recognised Swiss expertise in water treatment

As part of the Swiss Katadyn group, Micropur benefits from several decades of experience in water treatment. Its products are used by hikers, long-term travellers, wild campers and outdoor enthusiasts who need to make water drinkable or keep a water reserve in good condition.

This water treatment specialism has enabled Micropur to develop a range covering disinfection, drinking water preservation and care of hydration containers.

Why treat your water when hiking?

When hiking or travelling, you cannot always access a monitored drinking water source. Water collected in the wild may contain microorganisms that affect its safety.

Water treatment reduces the risks of drinking water whose quality is not guaranteed. Micropur solutions are a particularly appealing option for multi-day activities where low weight and self-sufficiency are essential.

Micropur tablets for purifying water

Micropur tablets treat water directly in a water bottle, hydration bladder or reservoir. Compact and easy to carry, they fit naturally into a hiking backpack or travel kit.

They are particularly suited to:

Day hiking
Multi-day trekking
Wild camping
Self-sufficient travel
Outdoor expeditions

Their compact size lets you keep a water treatment solution with you whenever conditions require it.

Micropur Forte: disinfecting water when hiking

Micropur Forte is designed to disinfect water of uncertain origin or quality. This solution is particularly useful on hikes, treks and journeys in areas with limited access to safe drinking water.

Its compact format makes it a popular solution for treating water outdoors while keeping your equipment lightweight.

Micropur Classic: preserving drinking water for longer

Micropur Classic preserves drinking water that is already clean. It helps maintain the quality of water stored in a water bottle, hydration bladder or reservoir over an extended period.

This solution is particularly suited to travelling, mountain hut stays, water sports and water storage in a campervan.

Micropur Forte or Micropur Classic: what is the difference?

The choice between Micropur Forte and Micropur Classic depends primarily on your needs.

Micropur Forte is designed for treating and disinfecting water whose quality is not guaranteed.

Micropur Classic, meanwhile, is used to preserve water that is already drinkable for longer.

In practice, Micropur Forte is for users who need to make water collected in the wild or while travelling safer, while Micropur Classic is better suited to preserving drinking water over time.

How do you use Micropur tablets?

Micropur tablets are designed to be easy to use, even during a hike.

For the best results, you should:

Follow the manufacturer's stated doses
Allow the recommended contact time
Preferably use clear water
Prefilter water containing many particles
Close the container properly during treatment

These precautions optimise water treatment and ensure use in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Preserve drinking water for longer with Micropur

On a trek, journey or expedition, you may need to store several litres of water for an extended period. Micropur Classic meets this need by helping preserve water quality in different containers:

Water bottles
Hydration bladders
Jerrycans
Reservoirs
Water reserves for travel or wild camping

This solution is particularly useful for long-term travellers, trekkers and campervan users who want drinking water stored in good condition.

Care for a water bottle or hydration bladder with Micropur

Water quality also depends on the condition of the equipment used to carry it. Regular care of water bottles and hydration bladders helps limit deposits, unpleasant odours and changes to water taste.

It makes water more pleasant to drink when hiking and travelling.
