About Sawyer Products SP129 Squeeze Water Filtration System
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
89% praised for its long-lasting durability, while 11% experienced a shorter lifespan
I used the filter for a few years and it worked great while filtering water from Sierra streams, springs, and lakes.
I have noticed that the plastic construction of the filter is not top-notch and requires careful handling. The O-ring comes unseated easily and wears out quickly, and the plastic construction is liable to snap if over-tightened. To avoid mold taste, it is important to clean the filter for long-term storage and carry an extra O-ring while being careful when tightening the bottle. Additionally, the filter can break if dropped incorrectly, so back flushing with vinegar or a tiny bit of bleach during long-term storage is suggested.
I am worried that the filter might be a problem in the future as it is held on by a bit of friction.
In cold weather, the micro fibers in the filter may freeze and break, making it unsuitable for mountaineering or winter camping.

84% appreciated its easy cleaning
Cleaning the filter is very easy. I back-flush the filter every use. The filter performs great and seems to last forever.
The filter works perfectly to remove microplastics and the water tastes slightly cleaner.
Cleaning the filter is super easy when the flow starts slowing down. I just grab a small bowl of clean filtered water and push it through the reverse side of the filter to unclog all the gunk.
The flow rate has been great and it takes only a minute to clean 1L of water.

The Sawyer Squeeze is easy to use and has simplicity and versatility.
I never filtered water before but I watched videos to understand the concepts. It's not as fast as some other styles but it's worth it for the low weight.
It is easy to use and maintain, adaptable, and has a suitable flow rate.
I find this water filter very easy to use. The steps include filling up the bag with water from a water source, screwing the filter onto the top, and pointing the spout into whatever you are refilling.

87% appreciated its effectiveness, but 13% questioned its effectiveness
In situations where the water quality is poor, the Sawyer filter is effective.
It's not the fastest style, but the low weight makes it worth it.
If you don't rush the filtration by over squeezing it, the filter is excellent. Just take time out and allow the filter to do its work while you have a short break.
I had never filtered water before, but I watched videos before heading out to ensure I understood the concepts.

The water flow rate of this product is amazing. It comes through fast with gravity and can be pushed through with the hand. I can fill 32oz in less than a minute.
The flow rate of our water filter is great and it only takes a minute to clean 1L of water.
The flow rate is quick, about 1L a minute in the field, possibly faster but my hands may tire.

91% liked its ability to filter large quantities of water, while 9% found it limited
The filter weighs 2.4oz, which is worth the extra weight for better flow rate and less stress on the bags compared to Sawyer mini's 1.7oz.
This water filter is slightly heavier than the Sawyer Mini filtration system, which may not be suitable for ultralight backpackers.
