Sawyer Squeeze is a
compact water filter for hiking, camping, and preparedness. With the included water pouch, you can filter fresh water from, for example, lakes and streams directly into a bottle or drink through the filter’s mouthpiece. The filter weighs about 85 grams and requires neither batteries nor a pump.
Removes bacteria, protozoa, and microplastics
The membrane filter has an
absolute pore size of 0.1 microns and, according to the manufacturer, removes 99.99999% of bacteria and 99.9999% of protozoa such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. It also filters out microplastics.
Use with water pouch or PET bottle
Fill the water pouch, screw on the filter, and gently squeeze water through the mouthpiece. You can drink directly or fill a separate container with filtered water. The collapsible pouch takes up little space when empty. The filter also fits
many standard PET bottles with a 28 mm thread. With suitable adapters, it can be connected to a hydration bladder or used in a gravity system, where water runs through the filter from a suspended container.
Cleaned by backflushing
When the flow rate decreases, clean the filter by flushing clean water backward through it with the cleaning syringe. According to Sawyer, backflushing can restore up to 98.5% of the original flow rate.
No regular replacement cartridge is needed, and proper cleaning and storage provide long service life. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and disinfecting after your trip.
Limitations and use in cold weather
The filter
does not remove viruses, dissolved salts, chemicals, or heavy metals. It does not desalinate seawater and should not be used to make chemically contaminated water potable. If viral contamination is suspected, additional water treatment is necessary.
Protect the filter from freezing once it has gotten wet. Remaining water can cause freeze damage even if the filter seems dry. For example, store it close to your body in subzero temperatures and in your sleeping bag at night. Sawyer recommends replacing the filter if you suspect it has frozen after use.
