Compact Water Filtration Systems

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter Removes 99.9% of Contaminants

— April 19, 2016 — Art & Design
Whether used as a main source of cleaning drinking water or as a supplemental piece of equipment, the Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter is designed to filter water like no other. The hollow fiber membranes within the filter design won't let anything larger than 0.1 microns through, which allows 99.9% of bacteria and protozoa to be removed.

Capable of being affixed to the majority of water bottles, the Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter comes with a collapsible pouch for easy traveling. The unit allows users to spray the water directly into their mouth or simply squeeze it into a cup to consume.

The best part of the filter is the reuse capabilities it offers; it can be reused hundreds of times before needing to be replaced.
