SAWYER PRODUCTS Mini Water Filtration System

Product Information

The Sawyer water filters contain a high number of tiny ‘U’ shaped hollow fiber micro-tubes that trap contaminants while allowing decontaminated water to freely pass through at a high flow rate — eliminating the need to store water and reducing the possibility of water contamination after the filtration process. Proper cleaning and storage techniques are essential for prolonging the lifespan of your Sawyer water filter and ensuring clean drinking water during your outdoor adventures. Don’t ever pop a pill, pump a filter, or wait for filtered water again.With a life expectancy of 1,000,000 gallons, the Sawyer Squeeze filter is truly a lifetime of water in the palm of your hand. Are you tired of struggling to keep your Sawyer water filter clean and maintain its optimal performance? We’ve all been there. It’s frustrating when your trusty water filter starts clogging up, leaving you with a less effective filtering system. But don’t worry! In this practical guide, we’ve got you covered with the do’s and don’ts of cleaning your Sawyer water filter.

Simply fill up the included reusable pouch at any water source, screw the filter onto the pouch, and drink directly from the filter or squeeze water into a water bottle. Vinegar can be used as a cleaning solution for the Sawyer Squeeze, providing an effective and natural way to remove impurities.

All of our filters are air tested three times before leaving our production facility to ensure that no pathogens can slip through our filter fibers, a claim that no other water filtration company can make. High performance filter fits in the palm of your hand, weighs 2 ounces and filters up to 100,000 gallons (30 times more than comparable filters) The PointOne will also fit the threads on most bottles of water that you buy at a grocery store; great for international travel

To test each product in this review, we take to the trails. We run, hike, and bike hundreds of remote miles with filters in tow, guzzling gallons of water filtered and purified from trailside sources. Using a systematic test plan, we assess each system's anatomy, dissect the pros and cons, and evaluate whether a system is reliable enough to earn our favor. Each product sees hands-on and in-field experience. We also perform rigorous indoor tests to determine minute differences between products. We specifically make sludgy water samples using fertilizers, soils, and other particulates to truly test how each filter and purifier performs. Our recommendations come from experience in the field and home-based experiments that comparatively test each product's performance.

Analysis and Test Results

Simply fill up the pouch at any source of water, screw the filter on to the pouch and proceed to using in multiple ways such as: Some come with "clean water" vessels like the MSR Trail Base and Platypus GravityWorks while others like the Katadyn Gravity BeFree 6L and MSR AutoFlow have a simple hose running from the bag to a storage vessel of your choice. All adapt nicely with a hydration bladder and can be filtered into a bottle if needed. Hand Pumps
