SAWYER PRODUCTS Squeeze Water Filtration System

Amazing, easy to use, lightweight, doesn’t leak

excellent water filter and seems very robust

Used this for a 3 week trek in Nepal last month. Very glad I chose this over the BeFree/alternative options in the end — it's extremely light to carry in a day pack (and comes with a light drawstring bag to carry the different bits and pieces), filters pretty fast, and most importantly should last a long time with proper care. Note that many other filter options need to be replaced after a certain amount of time, so theoretically this is the more sustainable option. Oh and I didn't get ill from a multitude of water sources — so the filter most likely did its job! In the UK you can find a few plastic bottles that pair with the Sawyer thread (search Reddit for this if needed). However, I found the plastic pouches that came with the filter to be much more convenient. These roll up flat and take up much less space than a water bottle would in your bag. Highly recommended!

Water filter worked really well on first bike packing trip out. I took just one "bag" and the filter which was asy to stow. Filled up water bottle and camping pot using water from a stream. Whilst the filtered water still retained a peaty colour, it tasted fine and three days later I have experienced no ill effects. Backwashing when I got home expelled some gunk from the filter - continuing a few times until the fresh water ran clear. I will certainly take it on the next trip.

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.

Excellent bit of kit. Really good flow rate (puts the mini to shame) and easy to use. Definitely recommend this filter.

Great filter, I already own a mini and micro squeeze and fancied something with a faster flow rate. Good size, easy to use. An excellent and portable filter. I have no doubt it will give me good service.

I bought this for a trek in Morocco and it got good reviews. The instructions are not easy to understand although it is all relatively obvious once you get started. Test it at home first to check how it all connects. The connections are the main problem. Where the bag of (dirty) water connects to the filter there is an “O” ring. If this is not tight enough it leaks. If you over tighten it then it leaks as well because the O ring distorts. As a result, the unfiltered water runs down the outside of the filter and contaminates your clean water! Not good for a water purification system. Also it is too slow and the bags feel brittle. If you squeeze them to speed things up the leak gets worse. The syringe for back washing the filter has a thread on it but the nozzle it connects to does not. The system did all work but I would not recommend it.

Amazing product.. perfectly altered to my hydration bladder pack. I am just hoping this water filter helps me during my upcoming Himalayan Treks.

Bonjour, Produit reçu parfaitement neuf dans son emballage d'origine avec deux poches à eau, le sawyer, la pipette de nettoyage, 2 embouts permettant de raccorder le sawyer à la poche à eau directement, un filet pour suspendre la poche à eau. Très content du produit, le débit est bon, je l'ai utilisé au Népal et je prenais environ 7/8 minutes pour remplir 4 litres d'eau (j'avais une poche à eau de 2l d'eau donc je devais la remplir plusieurs fois avec de l'eau 'sale' pour remplir 4 bouteilles d'1L: je remplissais l'eau dans des bouteilles d'1L de type soda grace à une bague qui s'adapte sur le sawyer (je l'ai imprimé avec imprimante 3d), taper sawyer + tornado tube vous trouverez des vidéos sur youtube expliquant cette adaptation !

I’ve been using the Sawyer SP129 PointOne filter system on a few camping trips, and I’m really happy with it so far. It’s lightweight, efficient, and gives peace of mind when you’re not sure about water quality. What I love: Filtration power: It filters down to 0.1 micron, which means it removes bacteria, protozoa, and other nasty stuff. It’s amazing how clear the water is after filtering. Easy to use: You just fill the squeezable pouch, squeeze it through the filter, and drink or store it. No fussing with pumps or hoses. Light and portable: Weighs next to nothing. I toss it in my backpack without feeling it. Good flow rate: Even after a few uses, it still flows well. Doesn’t clog up quickly in my experience (I rinse it as recommended). Durable design: It seems rugged enough to handle rough handling. I’ve dropped it and used it on rock surfaces and it’s holding up. Things to keep in mind: You’ll need to backflush it regularly to maintain flow. It’s easy though, just use the included syringe and good clean water. It works best with relatively clear water. If the water is super muddy, it slows down (but that’s true of almost all filters). You need to plan your water stops – it doesn’t carry huge volumes itself, just filters what you supply it. Verdict: If you’re into hiking, camping, or traveling in places where water safety is uncertain, this is a smart, reliable choice. It gives you confidence that you’re drinking safer water. Highly recommend if you want something effective, simple, and durable.
