There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This little kit comes with everything you need including a backwash syringe to clean it out, a longer hose (which I did not use yet) for hard to reach areas of water, and a bladder to hold water to carry with you, and the pre-filter with extra filters. The straw attaches right to the bladder so you can drink your filtered water from the bladder through the straw.
I am keeping mine in the box where it all fits nicely for now, but I will make a little bag with a draw string to hold all the pieces.
Note that they tell you it is good for one year from the first use of it, make sure you write that date on the straw so you are aware when to purchase a new one or that date is running close so you don't get sick. If you haven't used it you can store it indefinitely.
Now I need to purchase another one for my bug out bag. I am looking at their piezo camp stoves right now :-)
However, do note that the water flow through these is enough for someone to drink from, but insufficient if using it for the needs of a group of people. Maybe this is obvious for those who have used these before, but this is suitable for personal/emergency use only. We had two of this style (the other was a Sawyer Mini) and they were similar in flow. Both worked fine, but if you're trying to get enough water to fill multiple water bottles or a pot for boiling water for dinner, do yourself a big favor and get a bigger one. Fortunately we also had a Sawyer Products SP129 PointOne Water Filtration System with 32-Ounce Squeezable Pouch version, which had MUCH better flow capacity. Even the PointOne took awhile to fill five 30oz water bottles or a small pot, but I think the smaller versions would have taken at 20-30 minutes (we didn't try it, just an estimate). That's a long time to be squeezing the bag. The PointOne also did much better if just wanting to use gravity flow, where as the smaller ones needed either the bag to be squeezed or someone to suck water through it. This comes with a 16oz bag, the PointOne came with a 32oz. That also makes a big difference in the amount of refilling time. We had an extra 32oz bag which I would also recommend.
Even for personal use I would get the Sawyer PointOne. Yes, it is more expensive so perhaps not a fair comparison. However for something like this that is a fairly critical component I think the extra cost is more than justified - Especially if you are relying on this for anything more than a "just in case" emergency use.
The main thing I would point out is that this filter works at a much finer level than what's really necessary for common use. Most bacteria and protozoa are in the 1-10 micron range in size or length so essentially anything smaller than 1 micron will catch an extremely high percentage of contaminates. 0.1-0.2 micron filters are pretty common and are really quite sufficient. Unless you intend to go trekking through the Amazon (no, the other one) and drink from a stagnate pool of water infested with virus bearing insects, this filter's 0.01 micron filtration size is just overkill. For traditional camping/hiking settings where you will by and large be getting water from fresher sources (streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, etc.), this filter is beyond sufficient.
All that being said, if you do choose this filter, be prepared to take your time. It's not really so much a defect as it is a feature of the small filtration but, the smaller the particulate size that will be filtered, the longer it will take to push the water through that you actually want. This is also why it has a threaded end that you can screw the included bottle to in order to forcefully squeeze the water through and get a little faster flow. If you value water flow over fear of uncommonly microscopic bacteria, get a different filter with a larger filtration specification (as long as it's less than 1 micron).
