One of Sawyer's time-tested favorites, the Sawyer 2 Liter water filter system will simplify your backcountry to-do list. Simply set it up, and let gravity do the dirty work. No tedious pumping, just set it and forget it. In the time it takes you to turn around and unload your pack, you'll have clean, fresh water waiting. Each filter has a lifetime warranty as long as you follow the simple care and use instructions. Follow the helpful hints included in the directions for use. Backwashing is not required often unless you are filtering very turbid water. Backwashing only takes a few seconds. If you are accustomed to a ceramic filter, the leaning ratio is approximately 20:1. In other words, by the time you first need to clean your hollow-fiber filter you would have neeeded to clean a ceramic filter 20 times. NO REPLACEMENT FILTERS OR CARTRIDGES ARE NECESSARY. We trust you will thoroughly enjoy the ease and extra protection this proven next-generation technology offers you The Sawyer® Water Filters feature a 0.1 Micron Absolute Hollow Fiber Membrane which uses medical technology developed from kidney dialysis. When the water is drawn through the filter, it flows through the side walls of the Hollow Fiber tubes. Sediment, bacteria, protozoa, cysts, and other contaminants are filtered out exceeding all applicable EPA recommendations.
