How to Choose Portable Water Filters

Campers, hikers, hunters, outdoor workers, and many others have one thing in common – they need a ready source of fresh, healthy water to keep them hydrated. Many of them rely on portable water purifiers, and some of the best are made by Sawyer. These wilderness experts provide a line of filters that includes:

• MINI WATER FILTER:  When clients want the smallest and lightest portable water system, they often choose the Sawyer Mini Water Filter. At just 2 ounces, the tiny product can filter 100,000 gallons. It filters to 0.1 micron absolute, which exceeds EPA and NSF recommendations. Users can attach it to the top of water bottles, use it as an inline hydration pack, or drink directly from it. Like all Sawyer filters, it is backflushable, which eliminates the need for cartridges. Customers can buy it in multi-packs.

• SQUEEZE FILTER:  Despite the fact that it is simple, durable, and effective, Sawyer’s squeeze water filtration system is actually technologically advanced. Users fill up the pouch with water, screw on the filter, and then squeeze water into their container. It can be threaded onto most water bottles, or users can drink directly from it. The system has a life expectancy of 1,000,000 gallons.

• GRAVITY FILTRATION:  Sawyer offers several gravity filtering systems that take up little space and require virtually no effort. Each one contains a reservoir, which is filled with unfiltered water, and then hung up. Gravity naturally causes the water to descend through the filter. This means that users can fill it, hang it up, and come back to clean water. It removes bacteria salmonella, particles, protozoa, and more, down to 0.1 micron in size.

• INLINE 3-WAY FILTER:  When users are not sure of International water, they can attach this system to any faucet, and ensure clean water. It can also be used with an existing pack drink, or with fresh water sources. It removes cholera, e-coli, giardia, and cryptosporidium, among other impurities.

Portable filtration systems are the ideal solution for those who travel Internationally, hike, camp, or hunt. These systems are highly effective at filtering out impurities in almost any water source, and are small enough to fit anywhere. Visit the website for more information.
