Sawyer Products One-Gallon Gravity Water Filtration System

Great product, easy to use. Just finished a 23 mile through hike on the Pine Mountain Trail, GA. Filtered the water perfectly, 1gal took less than five minutes, taste was perfect. Between the four of us, no one ever got sick or felt sick from drinking the purified water, no other treatment was needed. After the water bottles were filled each night at camp, we would fill it up for cooking water and cleaning dishes. Kept it hung on a 550 cord clothes line we setup and had no issues with the handle or the bag the entire time. If you are looking for a system for more than two people that is effective and easy to use then this is the right fit for you.

The Sawyer One-Gallon Gravity Water Filter works as designed. No instructions on how to use and assemble the filter were included with the filter when it was sent. The instructions had to be found online in a pdf document.

Used this for three days this past weekend, and overall I’m pretty happy with it. It was awesome and easy to fill when I was access to fast moving water, but slow moving water forced me to try and either submerge it or sort of use a scooping motion to get it even halfway filled. There HAS to be a better place for the inlet on a bag like this.The filtering itself was plenty fast for me (a good excuse to drop pack for ten minutes) and the water tasted great. It was nice to fill up at camp and know you had water on tap for cooking, cleaning, drinking, whatever.I took a pic of how I rigged it up most of the time. I would loop the leash of my pole through it and back onto the pole to hold it, then attach the other poles leash and lean them against something with a wide stance, made it super quick and easy.Much better than pumping and is pretty light. Definitely happy with it overall!

For the price this was a great purchase, as it was cheaper than a couple of the other Sawyer offers. The Sawyer squeeze is reliable, easy to use, easy to clean or flush, and should last years upon years with proper use and maintenance. It's the perfect size and weight to add to a bugout bag, camping kit, or hiking pack.While I absolutely love the Sawyer squeeze, the water bag is absolute trash. It's semi-rigid plastic and the cap is bulky. The cap being the biggest issue, as it must sit perpendicular to the bag. Meaning even if you fold the bag and flatten it, the cap will stick up 2-3 inches. Additionally, the bag is loud (it crinkles when used) and it's difficult to fill.

It is very versatile and can be backwashed for extended use. The lifetime of the filter is 100k gallons. That will outlive me. I just wish the directions of use were better. I had to spend a hour online to really feel comfortable with the many configurations and safe use. I HIGHLY suggest this product.

Works great! I use it for making a cloudy Lava Lamp clear.

I've used this on backcountry trips in Maine and Alaska and love it. Super easy to use, weighs nothing, easy to clean up, and you can get a high volume of water through it without having to do all the work yourself - just let gravity do the work.
