Description

The ultra-lightweight (2.0 oz) and tremendously versatile Sawyer MINI Water Filtration System is ideal for ounce-counting outdoor adventurers. The 0.1 micron filter is 99.99999% effective against bacteria, protozoa, giardia and cryptosporidium.

The MINI Water Filtration System’s hollow fiber filter removes particulates, E. Coli, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Vibrio cholera, Salmonella and other harmful bacteria and protozoa. Proper backwashing can repeatedly restore up to 98.5% of the filter’s flow rate, allowing it to produce up to 100,000 gallons of drinkable water, depending on the quality of the water source.

Where the MINI Water Filtration System really outshines most other filters is in its versatility. It can be attached directly to its collapsible 16 oz Squeeze Pouch, connected directly to a hydration system (adapters and hydration systems not included) or used with a standard soda or water bottle (also not included). By using the included 7” drinking straw, you can even drink filtered water directly from the water source!

Each Sawyer Mini Water Filtration System includes the filter, a tip cap, a 16 oz reusable Squeeze Pouch, a drinking straw, a cleaning plunger (syringe), and cleaning/maintenance instructions.

  • Ideal for outdoor recreation, hiking, camping, scouting, domestic and international travel and emergency preparedness
  • The MINI removes 99.99999% of all bacteria, such as salmonella, cholera and E.coli; removes 99.9999%of all protozoa, such as giardia and cryptosporidium
  • High performance filter fits in the palm of your hand, weight 2 ounces and filters up to 100,000 gallons (30 times more than comparable filters
  • Attaches to included drinking pouch, standard disposable bottles (28mm thread)(sold separately), hydration packs(sold separately) or use the straw to drink directly from your water source

Works fine.

Likes

It is slower than some systems I see others use, but it is small and more lightweight. I've seen a lot of complaints on how slow it is, but I used it under a little rivulet of a tiny waterfall. I think the people who are complaining are using it in muddy slow moving water. For the light weight and quick learning curve, I think it is good. I used it for the first time in a real situation on my backpack last month. Someone else had it and gave me tips on how to use it. The bags are lighter than bottles. The only thing lighter is the pills. The advantage is you don't have to time anything. It is simple. When you're hot and tired simplicity is very helpful. Do take the backwash syringe.

Dislikes

Remember to keep one spare bag uncontaminated for sharing water with others. You can drink directly from the filtration unit or use the straw.

Works great

Likes

I love this water filter. I used it on a week-long backpacking trip on the West Coast Trail in British Columbia and it performed very well. It packs well and weighs next to nothing. The spacing between both ends is just the right length to wrap duct tape around the filter. Can be back-flushed and used with a Smartwater bottle. Surprisingly affordable for how well it works.

Dislikes

Susceptible to breakage when freezing, but that is common with a lot of filters. The simple solution for that is to carry it on your person and/or stow in your sleeping bag in colder temperatures. Slight leakage out of the dirty water side when filtering - it required some tinkering with the tightness to reduce leakage (found that tighter is not always better).

Slow Flow

Likes

Small and simple.

Dislikes

The flow is horrible. When new it is o.k. but after using it for a little and even after back-washing it is extremely painful to filter water with. You will find yourself dreaming of having a nice tall glass of water you can chug. Buy the bigger sawyer squeeze instead, it is much better.

Great versatile product

Likes

Very versatile. Can be used like the lifestraw, inline system, attached to a bottle both regular and collapsible and used with larger collapsible or plastic bottles to filter into pots, hydration bladders etc. Flow rate isn't bad especially for the size and the amount of stuff it gets out which is more than most filters. The size and weight are awesome and the price. Can't beat it

Dislikes

Would like to see the flow rate increased but it gets junk out more than most other filters. Would also like it to fit maybe more water bottles than coke bottles.

Small and lite

Dislikes

Can really only be used easily for personal use. Hard to use for group water so everyone needs one. But if you are in high risk Giardia country, it is better to use group UV and then filter for your own drinking water.
