Safety: All Sawyer® Water filters exceed EPA and NSF recommendations for removal rates.
- The Sawyer® Biological Filters have a 0.10 micron absolute removal rate
- The Sawyer® Viral Purifiers have a 0.02 micron absolute removal rate
Flow Rate:The rate and capacity at which you can treat field water is very important to the quality of your outdoor experience, or in the case of the military, your safety may be at stake. Quite simply, the flow rate of both *Sawyer’s Water Filter and Water Purifier is amazing. They offer virtually no resistance until they start to near the end of their cycle. Just Drink™. No sucking your brains out, no sucking for just a few drops of water per stroke. These Sawyer® Filters can handle 40 PSI, which means you can hook them up to full faucet pressure. The resistance is so slight you can hook them up to a gravity feed system to yield 5 gallons of treated water in less than 30 minutes. You can squeeze the bag (okay – you can
sit on the bag also) and get large quantities of water incredibly fast. Or you can Just Drink™. Simply amazing, so simple it will change the way you think about treating water, and about packing.
Cost per Gallon of Water and Water Capacity Are the Best Value in Town
The Sawyer® Water Filter yields over 500 gallons of water (now with a LIFETIME WARRANTY) when used with a reasonably clear source of water for pennies per gallon. The Sawyer® Water Purifier can yield over 3,000 gallons (now with a LIFETIME WARRANTY) from the same water source. Now the only decision you have to make is to decide whether or not you need viral protection. To get the maximum water flow rate, use the clearest water possible.
