Sawyer Mini Water Filtration System

That’s a lot of water that can go through it!! I truly didn’t expect that.

I heard scientists still don't know if drinking water from a plactic bottle can course cancer. I recommend not using soft drink bottles or other bottles that weren't sold as reusable.

I know it's a different form factor and the Sawyer seems more versatile, but can this be used as an alternative to the Lifestraw?

For mine I picked up a 2liter bottle preform/vial. Like the plastic unblown up 2litter.
Same thickness of the mini maybe 1.5” longer. Weight is pretty much the same.

And threw out the preform standard bottle cap an screwed on a smart water bottle cap to the preform with the little blue spout an flip cap.

But the little preform I heated up a mail an melted a small hole in the bottom. Than put a little coffee filter down in the bottom of it. An filled the vial with charcoal.

So than I connect my sawyer to the dirty water bag. And the clean side tip of the sawyer mine can than push into the smart water bottle flip cap nozzle.

So after the dirty water passes through the filter to be cleaned. It’s than going right into an through another charcoal filter basically to clean up any taste that would of been.

An comes out of the hole I melted into the bottom of it. Can either drink it from there or fill a bottle from that end.

does it also filter out chloride? and other chemicals?

Would have been nice if you had shown the filtration process.

Thank you for the review Snowy! I just ordered one of this cuz i have a hard time finding clean water outdoors. I will combo this with some AquaTabs if the water is very dirty!

Thank you, this was such a helpful video!

Do you have to have the plastic bin

Thank you for the review, but, respectfully, your demonstration could kill someone. You put the straw on the contaminated end of the filter.

Drink from pond with it. Or it's just an ad.

Perfect - Thank you!!!

suggestion - stop shaking the product in your hands to try to emphasize your words. i feel like i'm being shaken all about

What water testing strips do you suggest to confirm the filter is working properly?

Thank you Ben. I was looking at one on ebay and was just after a demonstration.

must prefilter sedememt or you will kill filter

Great video

They should make each end of the filter a different colour.

Can stop shaking the damned thing?

Great video...simple and to the point. I would rather watch this than read directions

How do you know when it reaches the lifetime limit?(although I may not reach it but I just want to know if I need to keep track of it myself?)

thank you so much for this informative video!!!

Very concise and informative. Thank you!

Thank you...I just bought one and had n0 idea how it works...I do now!

Great review

Are you saying there’s no need to boil it ?

For 2 1/2 minutes straight it's you rotating the filter around and around pointing at the filter saying that water goes through the filter. It was hard to tolerate but I made it through that part.

Can you please refrain from shaking the products constantly in your reviews? Thanks for the review but it is almost nauseating to watch.
