Technologies
Micron Absolute Filtration: Sawyer water filters contain a high number of tiny 'U' shaped hollow fibre micro-tubes that trap contaminants while allowing decontaminated water to freely pass through at a high flow rate - eliminating the need to store water and reducing the possibility of water contamination after the filtration process. The Sawyer MINI is certified for 0.1 micron filtration, meaning there is no pore size larger than 0.1 micron in size. This makes it impossible for harmful bacteria (like salmonella or leptospirosis), protozoa, or cysts like E. coli, Giardia, Vibrio cholerae, and Salmonella typhi to pass through the filter. All Sawyer water filters meet or exceed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommended removal rates.
All Sawyer filters are air tested three times before leaving their production facility to ensure no pathogends can slip through their filter fibres.
Care
Can be cleaned and reused almosed indefinitely with no expensive cartridges to replace. Sawyer recommends backwashing and sanitising the filter after every outing for optimised use.
