A lightweight, robust solution for filtering large quantities of water, Sawyer’s 1-Gallon Gravity System with dual-threaded Mini filter is ideal for backpacking, backcountry camping, and emergency preparedness. With threads on both sides, you can screw the push pull cap onto the Mini for easy on/off functionality while filtering into the included 1-gallon water reservoir.

Sawyer’s lightest and most versatile personal water filtration system, the Mini weighs just 2 ounces, fits in the palm of your hand, and is rated to 0.1 micron absolute filtration — removing 99.99999% of all bacteria, such as salmonella, cholera and E.coli, and removing 99.9999% of all protozoa (such as giardia and cryptosporidium).

Weighing just 4.5 ounces, the 1-gallon bladder features a wide mouth cap that allows for fast and easy filling and a convenient carry handle. To set up a gravity-based filtering system, first fill the reservoir with water from any source — a lake, stream, faucet, etc. — and then hang the bag with the Mini connected below it (via the included hose) to let gravity do its work. Water will flow through the Mini to produce fresh, clean water for drinking and cooking.

Rated to filter up to 100,000 gallons, the Mini’s filtering membranes are sturdy enough to withstand backwashing using the included syringe, restoring up to 98.5% of the filter’s flow rate.

This package includes a dual-threaded Mini water filter, 1-gallon bladder, cleaning plunger, and gravity hose with adapters. It also comes with Sawyer’s Cleaning Coupling accessory, which enables you to effectively backwash and clean the Mini filter using a standard plastic water or soda bottle.

Since 1984, Sawyer Products has offered the best, most technologically advanced solutions for protection against sun, bugs, water, and injuries — everything from first aid kits developed for wilderness to point-of-use water filters that filter contaminated water to levels cleaner than U.S. bottled water.

Wish i had bought sooner. So convenient. Love this thing. No issues yet really. I agree with other reviewers that the inlet on the scooping bag could be better placed, but honestly that is such a small complaint. The flowrate on this is excellent and I can filter into either a platypus (attachment included), or into 3 nalgenes. Perfect for group camping/canoeing, but i would use it solo too since it packs down pretty small and i love the convenience of a single bag being enough for filtering enough for a mountain house dinner, tea,…

No more pumping, just hang and walk away! I have always used the Katadyn pump filters, but I decided to go with a gravity system to save some time and energy at camp. This was perfect, and for a great price! In one minute and ten seconds I was able to filter a liter of water, so it would only take about 5 minutes to filter a full gallon.The only downside is trying to fill the reservoir from shallow or standing water. This is where pump filters have the advantage, since all you have to do is throw in the line and start…

Love the product, wish the opening was placed better designed. 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…
