Water Filtration and Purification: Do I need a filter or a purifier?

If you are traveling primarily in the United States or are only using treated water, tap or bottled, then we recommend the Sawyer Biological Water Filter.  This filter removes 99.99999% of Bacteria and 99.9999% of Protozoa and Cysts.

This filter removes filter removes 99.99999% of Bacteria, 99.9999% of Protozoa and Cysts, and 99.997% of Viruses.

The rate and capacity at which you can treat field water is very important to the quality of your outdoor experience.  Quite simply, the flow rates of both The Sawyer Water Filter and Water Purifier are amazing. They offer virtually no resistance until they near the end of their cycle.

No Pumping; No Chemicals; No Waiting; No Worries!

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 also 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 (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 Capacity): Certain Sawyer Water Filters come with a 1 million gallon guarantee when used with a reasonably clear source of water. Certain Sawyer Water Purifiers also come with a 1 million gallon guarantee. Both the Sawyer Water Filter and Sawyer Water Purifier can be “backwashed” to extend their lives.

To get the maximum water capacity use the clearest water possible.  Some ways to extend the filter/purifier life are:

    1. Choose water below the surface but not off the bottom.
    2. Draw water and allow it to settle before filtering.
    3. Use a pre-filter such as a coffee filter, paper towel, or T-shirt/bandana.

It is important to note that Sawyer Filters do not fail. They will gradually clog up (depending on water quality) but do not allow Bacteria, Protozoa, or Viruses to pass when used properly!

All Sawyer Water Filters exceed EPA and NSF recommendations for removal rates.

Viruses, protozoa, and other harmful microorganisms all can cause illness – and are present in raw water. When you're not near a conventional water source, Sawyer water purifiers are the solution. Producing a cleaner-than-bottled product, Sawyer purifiers exceed EPA and NSF requirements by blocking out bacteria, protozoa, cysts, and viruses.

Find Point ZERO Two purifiers through EarthWave Living, including bucket kits with faucet adapters and pack systems. Designed with Hollow Fiber Membranes, each purifier uses a system of micro tubes, all of which are dotted with pores no larger than 0.02 microns. The small size prevents potentially dangerous microorganisms from passing through to create the cleanest water from a portable source.
