The **Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter** is ideal for hikers and backpackers looking for a lightweight, easy-to-use water filter. It is slightly bigger and heavier than the Sawyer Mini and the Micro Squeeze, but has the great advantage that water passes through it a lot faster: it takes about 45 seconds to filter a litre of water. You can fill the supplied water bag with the dirty water and connect the filter to it, use the hose to filter with gravity, screw the filter onto a standard water bottle, or connect it to the hose of your water bag. It's super easy to use!

## The water filter

A Sawyer water filter consists of lots of hollow fibre microtubes that trap contaminants, while allowing clean water to flow through them easily. Each tube in the Sawyer Squeeze is guaranteed to be 0.1 microns wide. This means that no pore in this filter is larger than 0.1 microns. It is therefore impossible for harmful bacteria to get through the filter. The filter pore size filters the following:

  * 99.99999% of all bacteria, such as salmonella, cholera and E. coli.*
  * 99.9999% of all protozoa, such as giardia and cryptosporidium
  * 100% microplastics

The water filter lasts for roughly 450,000 litres. Which seems more than sufficient to us! You can reuse it as often as you want, without having to buy expensive replacement filters.

**Please note: this filter does not remove viruses from the water!** In North America and Europe this isn't necessary, because viruses in water are rare in these areas. Are you going to another continent? Then add an extra method to clean the water (such as Hadex) or choose a filter that does filter viruses from the water. The filter also doesn't remove bad tastes from the water.

# Scope of delivery

The Sawyer Squeeze comes with:

  * The water filter itself
  * Nozzle to backflush the filter
  * Pouch with a capacity of 500 ml 
  * 2 pouches with a capacity of 1.8 litres each
  * Cleaning coupler
  * Adapter to connect your Squeeze to the hose of a water bag
  * Hose for gravitational filtering 
  * Mesh storage pouch

## Tips & tricks

The Sawyer Squeeze comes with a nozzle so you can backflush it. This is because if dirty water flows through the filter, the dirty particles will remain behind in the filter. You can rinse this out by filling the nozzle with clean water and forcing this water through the filter, from the spout you normally drink from. Try to do this after each time that you use your filter, so it will last a really long time. If the filter becomes clogged at all, you'll notice that the water flows through the filter a bit more slowly. 

It can sometimes be difficult to fill the pouch properly in the water. Sometimes you have to hold it underwater for a long time to fill it with water. Which isn't very nice if the water is cold! Tip: blow into the pouch first before putting it in the water. This makes it easier to fill!
