Squeeze Water Filtration System

Great combo, durable, worked flawlessly on my 3 week A.T. hike. The piece of mind was worth the extra cost and few oz. to me. It was also nice to have the extra storage capacity when needed. I also like the charity work Sawyer does with their filters where clean water is not easy to get.

The only portable water filtration system my husband will use. This is an absolute God send when you're hiking or camping in the backwoods and need access to fresh drinking water. This isn't our first time with this product. My husband bought one for me to keep in my survival pack as well as a replacement for his original. Light, easy to pack and easy to use. It's everything you'd expect from a portable water filtration system. These have been around a long time and they are both dependable and reliable. It does an excellent job of filtering out the bad stuff from creeks, rivers and lakes. Excellent product.

Amazing water filter. I've used this water filter all over the UK with no issues. As long as you are following the general ways of what water to use and not (use fast flowing water from the highest point possible), I've found it to be perfect. I've used it without issue with heavily polluted Peak District water and with visibly polluted Fenland river water. 6 months into mild use and no issues.

Não sendo perto de mineração(não filtra metais pesados), o filtro é altamente confiável. Acampamentos, idas a região amazônica ou algo assim, é perfeito para não se contaminar.

I’ve been using the Sawyer Squeeze Water Filtration System for a while now, and it’s become one of my go-to filters for camping and hiking trips. It’s incredibly lightweight and compact, making it easy to toss into a backpack without taking up much space. The filtration itself is top-notch. It’s rated to filter out 99.99999% of bacteria and 99.9999% of protozoa, which gives me a lot of confidence when using it with water from streams, lakes, rivers, or even questionable rainwater. It’s reassuring to know I can get clean water without having to worry about harmful contaminants.The system is super easy to use, too. Just fill up one of the included pouches at your water source, screw the filter on, and either drink directly from the filter or squeeze the water into a bottle. The flow rate is pretty decent at 1.7 liters per minute, so I never feel like I’m waiting too long to get a drink.However, the biggest downside is the durability of the squeeze pouches. Out of the four I’ve used, two didn’t last more than five trips before they started to fail. While they worked great initially, I was disappointed to see them wear out so quickly. Luckily, the filter itself is excellent, so even when the pouches wear out, you can still use it with standard water bottles or set it up in a gravity system.Overall, I’d say this is one of the best water filters I’ve used, especially for the price. It’s perfect for outdoor adventures where you’re dealing with natural water sources, and it’s lightweight enough for backpacking. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the durability of the pouches. If you’re okay with replacing them or using alternative containers, this system is a fantastic choice for clean, safe water on the go.

This was much needed in my outdoor kit backpack.. Found it on amazon for the most reasonable price.... Seller was very cooperative and I managed to procure a few extra accessories which are not listed online, making my outdoor kit set complete.. Thanks to Amazon

Great item saves loads of time compared to the bags. And is 2 litres which is handy if you need to collect more water

Probably the most effective, easiest to use, light weight, bulk water filtration system available for backpacking / bikepacking.

Bought this for a family backpacking trip and love it. I didn't keep track, but likely filtered 30-40 liters for our 3 day trip, and it showed no signs of slowing down. I only have one 3 day trip with this filter, but so far it's easily the best filter I've had. I've used hand pump filters, chemical treatment, boiling water, other gravity filters, and this is by far the best. It filters fast even with just gravity. If needed the extra squeeze speeds things up (something my last gravity filter would not allow). Most of the time we just hung up my filter bag walked away and came back when it was done.When I got home I back flushed (also something my last gravity filter did not allow) and bleached per the instructions. It was easy and clearly had some affect as the backwash water was quite dirty.With respect to the filter I really have nothing bad to say about it. For $40 it's a great deal even without the accessories.If I had to be not picky, the only thing I could see making some improvement is some of the accessories.I didn't have any issues with the bags, but others have reported issues, and I've had issues with similar style flasks in the past. I ended up using a 3 liter flask from my previous Katadyne befree and let gravity filter water straight into my 3 liter MSR hydration bladder. This worked great!The fittings that came with it worked just ok. I like to have more hose, so again I stole some from one of my previous filters. I would have gotten by just fine with what was provided, but to get hands off filtering from one pouch to the next, I modified the setup a bit.Last, is a problem I have thats not unique to this filter. Trying to fill a pouch from questionable stagnant water is challenging, the water usually needs some kind of prefiltering (bandana), and needs to be scooped out. The is one of the few scenarios where a hand pump filter with a prefilter on the inlet hose wins out.Overall this is my favorite filter and expect it will be my primary filter from now on. If anything change my opinion I'll come back and update my review.
