Description
Let gravity do the work!
A lightweight, robust solution for filtering large amounts of water in as little as 7 minutes, the Sawyers 1-Gallon Gravity System with Dual-Thread MINI Filter is ideal for backpacking, backcountry camping and emergency preparedness. With threads on both sides, you can screw the caps onto the MINI for easy on/off operation while filtering to control water flow.
The filter:
The Sawyer MINI weighs just 57 grams, fits in the palm of your hand and is rated at 0.1 micron absolute filtration - removing 99.99999% of all bacteria, such as salmonella, cholera and E.coli, removing 99.9999% of all protozoa (such as giardia and cryptosporidium) and removing 100% of microplastics.
The bladder:
Weighing just 128 grams and holding 3.8 liters, the bladder has a large opening that allows for quick filling and a comfortable carrying handle.
Sawyer's water filters contain a large number of small "U" shaped hollow fiber microtubes that trap contaminants while allowing decontaminated water to freely pass through at a high flow rate - eliminating the need to store water and reducing the risk of water contamination after the filtration process.
GRAVITY DOES THE JOB
Unscrew the cap on the opening and fill the bag with water from any source - lake, stream, tap, etc. - and connect the included tube between the bladder and the Mini filter. After filling, hang the container with the filter underneath it from a tree, the back of your backpack, or simply hold it up with your hand. Water will flow through the filter to give you fresh, clean water to drink and cook with.
378,000 LITRES
The MINI's filtration membranes are robust enough to withstand backwashing with the included syringe, restoring up to 98.5% of the filter's flow rate.
We also include our Cleaning Coupling accessory, so you can backwash the MINI with a standard soda bottle (with 28 mm thread).
The MINI can be cleaned and reused almost indefinitely without expensive cartridges to replace. We recommend backwashing and sanitizing the filter after each outing for optimized use.
