I am unfamiliar with the disconnects...will this bladder plug into the Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter without modifications? Thanks! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002CN82V2

Looking at the filter you are talking about, I don't think so. At least not without modifications. The MSR in-line microfilter used by the Marine Corps will though.

Easy answer: this filter ships with various connectors to attach the 1" hose (I use the adapter that is 1" barbed to 1/2" threaded-- attached to the pump inlet)... pond pumps vary in their inlet configurations... if your pump will (through an adapter, maybe) take a 1" hose, I'd think it'd work perfectly fine. As James points out, though, this is a "pre-filter," not an actual filter. To appropriately clean your pond, you probably need more thorough mechanical filtration, and you definitely want something that at least has some biological filtration (and a UV sterilizer is also definitely helpful).

The Katadyn Hiker cartridge was tested at 750 liters and found effective for removal of bacteria and protozoan cysts. I hiked for two weeks along the John Muir Trail last season. My Hiker Pro is working great and I plan an additional two week hike along the JMT next month with the original cartridge. I have experience using other water filtration systems and find the Katadyn Hiker Pro to be the best. The Hiker Pro is lightweight and has the highest water output that I have experienced. I recommend the pump!

If it is falling off the connector, I cannot help, but if the connector is falling off the faucet, the threads in the faucet spout are probably worn with age and the only solution is to replace the spout or whole faucet. I have had no problems with the connection of the filter to the adapter.

The smaller black circle in the middle of the picture has the threaded hole to place your fitting depending on your model. This is an example: http://www.amazon.com/Atwood-8897-6-Fuel-Fitting-Thread/dp/B00K8DB8IC/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1425500023&sr=8-6&keywords=brass+fitting+for+fuel+tank of a plug used. The tank does not come with a quick disconnect installed. I learned this when it showed up. Good luck.

I purchased 2 of these Kits for my Craftsman Riding Mower. They Leaked like a seeve at the Quick Disconnect. They were Discontinued by the Manufacturer. I Returned the 2 I purchase for a Full Refund. I hope this helps you.

I used the Hayward SP0710XR50 Pro-Series Vari-Flo Backwash Valve Coupling. Had no issues and fit right into the filter. I did have to re-route the pvc pipes to fit but it was super easy. Very very satisfied with this setup and spent way less on pool chemicals and my water has been 1000 times better. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!

The filter should not matter, as the unit operates on the water flowing through it. We have fairly low pressure, and it works fine. As for the connection, it threads onto the standard shower head (existing) pipe, with a little Teflon tape to seal it nicely. It was a simple direct bolt-on replacement to the existing showerhead.

Hi KP, I am not sure of your question, are you using this kind of Filter for the first time or have you used these before. There are two outlets of any of such household filters, one is Unfiltered water which is very fast and bigger volume. Another is filtered outlet, which only let's water out in a slow tiny volume depending on your faucet pressure. The tiny outlet is triggered only when the switch in front is turned 90. Degrees to your right.

exactly the quick disconnect (k) with the pressure relief valve (k1) does not turn in mine either and something is not right! good luck. thanks for asking.

I was very unhappy with this skimmer because of the design, mine leaked. I would puchase another brand. I have different pump/ filter on mine, not familiar with the standard one you have. You may want to chk out site called troublefreepool.com for lots of ideas

If you have the water discharge connect to a external pipe, then the connection was loose. This will be the best guess from me.

Sorry Arthur...I think you're right! I ordered a spare filter back in June and thought nothing of it. Then, I went to change my filter this morning and the one they sent me was wrong. My old filter has an opening on both ends and the new one does not. Plus, the part number is different. Maybe it's a new design but I'm not putting it in until I find out. Thanks for making me aware of this. I wouldn't put your's in either. Please let me know if you find something out from the company.

I had it connected to a water hose with a pressure reducer. It worked great, but the reducer leaked a bit so I removed it. The nipple exploded about 3 days later, so if you plan to connect to a hose to leave the water on at all times, be sure to get a pressure reducer and one that threads correctly for both connections.

Sawyer quick disconnect adapter set ( 2 male, 1 female ). It is what I used to adapt that filter to my gravity filter system. Find it here on Amazon.

It hooks onto your existing water line. To disconnect it, you just undo the steps you did to connect it. Same tools. Same time, maybe even less (since you'll be more familiar with the configuration). It's all super easy.

According to the katadyn website, the hiker series (hiker and hiker pro) filter down to .3 microns. same as what's on the box.I know it's kept me from at least one round with crypto, after hiking with friends. I used my hiker pro, they didn't. about the time we got back to civilization they got very sick.good filter.
