Water Filter Straw For your Go-Kit

The Sawyer Personal Water Filter is ultra light and compact and perfect to slip into your go-pack.   We have one in each car in case we are stranded.

  • 0.1 Micron absolute hollow fiber membrance filter
  • Removes 99.99999% of all harmful bacteria including E.coli, salmonella and bacteria that cause typhoid and cholera.
  • Removes 99.9999% of protozoa such as cryptospordium and giardia 
  • It will filter up to 100,000 gallons of water.
  • If the filter slows down or gets clogged, you just use the included cleaning plunger (syringe) to backwash it.  It can be reused over and over again.

If viruses or smaller bacteria are suspected, use a certified chemical treatment or boil water before filtering.
