DetailThis lightweight, versatile personal filtration system fits in the palm of your hand and has a total field weight of just under 40 grams. It's perfect for everything from camping to traveling abroad, and it effectively filters bacteria, protozoa, and microplastics from up to 100,000 gallons on the go.The MINI filter removes 7 log (99.99999%) of all bacteria (like salmonella) as well as other harmful bacteria which causes cholera and E. coli and 6 log (99.9999%) of all protozoa such as giardia and cryptosporidium. EPA guidelines allow ten times more protozoa left in the water than the Sawyer MINI filter allows. The MINI also filters out 100% of microplastics.The filter works by housing a cluster of micro-fibrous tubes which use similar technology found in medical dialysis. As water passes through the side walls of the tubes, harmful bacteria and protozoa are trapped on the outer walls so you can be confident your water is safe to drink.This system also provides a number of ways to drink your clean water. You can attach it to the included drinking pouch, use the included straw to drink directly from your water source, connect it to hydration pack tubing (sold separately), or screw it onto standard disposable bottles (28mm thread).The full kit includes: One filter rated up to 100,000 gallons, one Sawyer MINI filter, one 16-ounce reusable squeeze pouch, one 7-inch drinking straw, and one cleaning plunger.
