A Year With The Gear-Making the Sawyer Squeeze Mini Water Filter Work for Me


After using the Sawyer Squeeze Mini for a year, this is the conclusion I have come to.

Weighing only 2 oz. and sized to fit in the palm of your hand, the Sawyer Mini water filter is one of the lightest, most compact filters available, and you can use it to drink straight from a stream.


Details

    Hollow-fiber membrane offers a high flow rate; sip on the Mini like a straw and it filters the water while it's on the way to your mouth
    Get down close to the stream or lake and use the filter to drink straight from the source, or fill your water bottle and insert the filter to start sipping
    Filter will also fit the threads on the included Sawyer 16 fl. oz. reusable pouch that you can fill at a lake or stream and then use to squeeze water through the filter
    0.1-micron filter physically removes 99.99999% of all bacteria, such as salmonella, cholera and E.coli; removes 99.9999% of all protozoa, such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium
    Use the included syringe to backflush the filter to maintain a high flow rate
    Filter will also fit the threads on most bottles of water that you buy at a grocery store; can also be used as an inline filter (adapters and hoses not included)
    Avoid freezing this filter; freezing may ruin the hollow-fiber membrane
    Includes Sawyer Mini water filter, one 16 fl. oz. reusable squeeze pouch, a filter tip cap and a cleaning syringe
