About Sawyer Products Micro Squeeze Water Filtration System
Overall Feedback:
84% positive
83% praised for its long-lasting durability, while 17% experienced a shorter lifespan
The filter has a filtration capacity of 150,000 liters, allowing me to keep it for life.
I have found that the filter is long-lasting and does not require regular replacement of disposable filter elements with proper care.
During my first cleaning with warm and clear water, the included bag burst open.
I am disappointed with the product's durability as it is fragile and not suitable for its purpose.

93% appreciated its easy cleaning
We can produce 5-10 gallons of clear water before needing a full backwash. It's better to do it more frequently if possible.
Using the Vecto bag, I found the filter to be perfect and very easy to use.
Before doing a full backwash, we can produce 5-10 gallons of clear, potable water. It is recommended to do it more frequently if possible.
On the Amazon page, the manufacturer's video provides instructions on how to backwash the filter after use, which is important for maintaining efficiency and safety.
92% found it easy to use
This water filter is much easier to use than my previous one and is also lighter.
I have found a compact and ultralight water filter with a faster flow rate than the Sawyer Mini.
It is easy to use with the included water pouch and straw, or it screws onto an ordinary sized plastic disposable water or soda bottle.

87% appreciated its effectiveness, but 13% questioned its effectiveness
Sawyer water filters are an excellent choice for long term use and work very effectively.
I suggest that this filter is cost-effective as there are few small filter systems better than this one.
I tested it with tap water and found the result highly satisfying. The water was sweet, transparent, and odorless, making it enjoyable to drink.
The filtration capacity is 150,000, making it last forever.

91% praised for its fast water flow rate, while 9% found it slow
The filter has a great flow rate initially but clogs quickly and back flushing doesn't help.
I had to put in a lot of effort to get clean water to backwash the filter, but it had a poor flow rate and backwashing didn't seem to help. Eventually, I gave up on it.
Upon the third use of the same sedimented water source, I noticed that the micro slowed down in its flow rate while the minis dripped out continually.
Rephrased:
The micro slowed down in its flow rate upon the third use of the same sedimented water source while the minis dripped out continually.
I gave up on backwashing because it didn't seem to help and took too much effort to get clean water. I just tolerated the poor flow for the rest of the trip.
