Review: Excellent bit of kit - Beware if tempted to use other manufacturer's bottles with it. - The Sawyer Mini is an excellent bit of kit for those occasions where one cannot carry enough drinking water, and where weight carried is a prime consideration. There’s not a lot that can be added to Sawyer’s technical overview of the unit, suffice to say, provided that it is used correctly, it works. – Competently, and with a minimum of fuss! A couple of points worth noting are: - 1) Some reviewers suggest that Sawyer’s collapsible water bags are very difficult to fill, unless there is a strong flow of water. The simple way to ensure that the bottle fills easily, regardless of whether there is strong water flow or not, is to “inflate” the bottle before presenting it to the water supply - by blowing into it as if you were blowing up a balloon. Of course this advice comes with the caveat that your mouth will come into contact with the bottle’s outlet, which may carry contamination from previous fillings with unfiltered water. Only the user in the particular circumstance involved can decide whether there might be any risk involved. 2) It has been suggested that the threads of the Sawyer filter are the same as those of other makes of collapsible bottle such as Platypus, and of various plastic drink bottles. I cannot comment on the use of plastic drink bottles, but I can say definitively, that the threads of Platypus collapsible bottles are NOT exactly the same as those of the Sawyer Mini. Although a Platypus will actually screw onto the Sawyer, it will only do so with a very slight “cross threading”. In the case of the Platypus bottles I’ve tried, this resulted in a slight seepage of water from around the unfiltered “neck” side of the Sawyer. Meaning that unfiltered water could easily end up in whatever filtered water container was being used at the time. The seepage increases when squeezing the Platypus in order to speed up liquid flow through the filter. Personally I’ve not had any real problems in using Sawyer’s own bottles, although I find the 32oz. is much to be preferred over the 16oz. The one small gripe I do have, and the distinct advantage a Platypus bottle would have, (assuming a perfect connection to the Sawyer could be made), is that the Platypus range includes a fully transparent bottle, so its content can be seen and inspected for any obvious debris or other matter. It also makes it easy to see whether the inside of the bottle has been properly cleaned and dried before long term storage. EDIT (27 May 2016) One reviewer has given a one star rating which, on the basis of his comments, I think is inappropriate. I have made a comment on that particular review, but copy that comment here, as I think it has some general relevance: - The Sawyer Mini is designed to filter out bacteria and protozoa. It is not designed for, and will not, remove dissolved solids, (which consist of minerals, salts, metals, cations, and anions dissolved in the water), Neither will it filter out chemicals in general, nor any associated tastes or smells. Totally pure water is virtually electrically non-conductive, whereas any "non-pure" water will have some measureable degree of electrical conductivity. TDS meters use this conductivity in order to display the amount of dissolved solids present in the sample being tested. Since dissolved solids won't be filtered out by the Sawyer Mini, it is unsurprising that filtered/non-filtered TDS meter results would be the same. To give the product a one star rating based on an assumption that it should be doing something it was never designed for, is, in my opinion, not justifiable. There is plenty of information on the Mini's technical specification, along with numerous FAQ's as well, on the Sawyer website. Elsewhere, there is plenty of online information to be found on Total Dissolved Solids in drinking water. Reverse Osmosis, Activated Carbon type filters, Deionisation, and Distillation, are all options that will remove some, but not necessarily all, dissolved solids.
Review: Fantastic Filter - Is the bag the best way of filling it? - It's smaller than my Katadyne Hiker Pro. It filters better (Katadyne 0.03 microns - Sawyer 0.01 microns). It will last waaaaay longer than the Katadyne. It's less than half the price, and it fits in my pocket. All these reasons the Sawyer wins, or otherwise outdoes my Kat. Yet. I still really don't like using it. Trying to get water into those silly, fiddly little bags is a ballache. Then trying to squeeze it into your mug, or whatever is also awkward. God help you if you've injured a hand. Also, while you're farting around getting water into your bottle, there's water dripping everywhere, which makes it very difficult, in my opinion, to keep potentially unhealthy water out of your drinking water. I carry it when on the moors with the dog. I have used it under such conditions, and I wasn't ill. But I treat it as an absolute last ditch survival item. Which is what I think it is. I am going to try it with a squeezy bottle instead of the bag. And also, use it as a drip filter to see if I get on with that method better. But, I think, if I want water at the riverside, whilst on the move, I'm sticking with my Kat. Bigger, heavier, not as efficient at filtering (though more than adequate for the UK). But simple, easy, quick and keeps both ends of the supply seperate from each other, and doesn't need any bags. To be honest, some of my most pleasant memories include sitting on a rock by the river, dangling my Kat hose in the water and pumping a few litres whilst looking at the scenery around me. (Rather than bent double, cursing and more likely to fall in the scenery than to appreciate it. All this is a matter of personal preference, at the end of the day, but for me, it all comes down to those stupid bags. I love that the filter fits coke bottles and radiators and all that, but, you know. Try one. They work. It does exactly what it claims to do. It may be perfect for you. But if I'm carrying both, I know which one will get used.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What stops (contaminated) water on the outside of the collection bag from dripping into your clean bottle? All pics show bag above clean bottle**
A: MikeMy Sawyer Water Filtration kit as pictured included gaskets that, when the bottle is tightened correctly prevents any contaminated water from entering your clean water container. I have several of these, one in each bug out bag and they are an excellent item. Very reliable. I have even use these on less-than-desirable water sources with zero problems multiple times.

**Q: is there a difference in the colors?**
A: No, the color does not mean anything. Although it is helpful if you will be in a group of hikers carrying their own filters, as it helps to identify which filter belongs to which person. But the color does not mean anything.

**Q: Could scouts use this esaily and also could you turn this into a gravity filter**
A: It is very easy to use. Just one precaution, Use care not to contaminate the filter like all water filters.It will screw onto any water/soda bottle and comes with a 1 liter bag. I force the water through myself, but you can gravity feed with some rigging. I love mine and is very small for what it can do. If you are using lake or river water in Florida, I would still boil or treat the water to be sure. If you are up in the mountains and have fast moving stream, I would have no problem drink without treating/boiling.

**Q: If I add Propel or Gatorade powder to the water will the filter take out all of electrolyte benefits?**
A: I'm not sure. However, you can use the gravity feed bag and put the clean water in a container then add the powder.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for a day or multi day hike!
*by R***M on 20 January 2017*

I have considered buying this filter for over a year. Having recently treated myself I have certainly not been disappointed. My plan was to use it on walking trips to reduce the weight of my bag. However, I have found it so good at improving the taste of the tap water in my house that I use it to fill my water bottle for the day. I have conducted a taste test on my wife who wouldn't usually approve of such purchases. However, she picked the filter water as tasting better and commented on the crispness of the taste. It is very simple to use, simply fill the pouch from any water source, attach the filter and squeeze. The flow rate is pretty quick considering what it is achieving. It is also very light but appears to be very sturdy. 27th April Update - You must be careful to ensure this product doesn't experience freezing temperatures. I had left mine in the back of the car over the xmas period. When using it in Feb I started to doubt its filtering ability as it appeared to let small visible bits through. This might have been in my head as it made me stress out a little. However there was an element of doubt that prevented me being able to use it. I have binned it and since brought another. From now on it will be stored indoors! I am currently looking to find a bottle that it attaches to and understand that a smart water bottle is what I should be looking for. I very much recommend this product for anyone going abroad wishing to make their water safer and to use on day and multiday hikes. It is difficult to go wrong considering the relatively low price.
