View Full Version : 3-way camelback hose fitting?
I have a Katadyn Filter that I want to hook up to my platypus bag.
I know there's an adapter that'll let me input water into the End where the bite valve goes. But, I want to know if theres a 3-way-valve of sorts that I can hook it up to instead (closer to the platy, so I don't have to disconnect things)

Anybody ever try this configuration? Or does anybody know of a solution?

thats the way that garden hoses are setup in commercial places sometimes. It would be doable for a reservoir but you might need to make the piece yourself, unless the camelback filter adaptor can be setup this way.

a valve http://www.platypushydration.com/product_detail.aspx?ProdID=16&CategoryID=5 and a plastic "T" from local plumbing or pet fish store should do it. if blatter is in pack make sure all presure is off it. i tried it with gravity bag with no luck.

Just pull the drink valve off and connect it directly to the filter outlet. This worked great on my Katadyn Hiker Pro.
Also by not using the stock filter tube, you save weight room and less chance of a leak from using the splitter.
