I bought this a few weeks ago and tried it with tap water. Worked great and flow was flawless. I waited until now, after being used in the field with a Scout outing, to write a review. There were 6 boys and 3 men on the two day trip. We used two of these filters but this one was used to filter at least 6 gallons of still, clear, lake water. I used the 64 oz / 2 liter bag only. The filter worked flawlessly and I had no issues. The bag seemed very durable but we took care not to twist or wring the water out. We would fill the bag by scooping up water in a plastic jug and pouring it into the opening of the bag. This method was fast and the jug made a simple container for storing the units and parts. Once filled, I attached the filter and wiped off the excess dirty water with small towel (part of a synthetic shammy). Filtering was a snap by folding the full bag in half and squeezing the two halves together. Once about half the water was out, I then rolled the bag up like a tube of toothpaste from the bottom. Water filtered quickly and but I did find squeezing harder didn't filter faster - so don't wear youself or the bag out by forcing it. A one liter Nalgene filled in about 45 seconds - fast. I didn't notice any decrease in flow but I did backwash it with the syringe at the end of each day. That took about 15 seconds so I considered it good PM for the next day. It got cold at night so I did keep the filters in the sleeping bag to avoid risk of freezing.
Overall, I found the bag (the one I used) to be very durable, the filter was fast and no one got sick.
A great, lightweight product at a great price point. I brought the standard pump filter as a backup but I'm leaving the pump at home next time. Two of these were more than enough for our trip. Several other ASM's have made purchases since our campout.

Filtered Water Anywhere
The reusable 0.1 absolute micron Squeeze water filter produces clean water from freshwater lakes, rivers, and streams, as well as faucets in your home or hotel room while traveling (domestic and international).
To start filtering water, simply fill the squeeze pouch with water from your water source, then attach the Squeeze filter onto the pouch and start drinking via the removable flip top cap.
Versatile Hydration
The included adapter kit allows you to install the Squeeze filter inline on your hydration pack (sold separately). Simply fill your reservoir with dirty water and drink safe, clean water through your hydration tube.
You can also create a gravity water filtration system using the adapters, included tube/drinking straw, and mesh carrying pouch to hang the Squeeze.
The Squeeze filter also attaches onto water or soda bottles with a standard threaded top.
Filter Again and Again
The Squeeze filter can be cleaned and reused almost indefinitely with no expensive cartridges to replace… ever.
When water flow begins to diminish, simply perform a backwash to restore up to 98% of the filter’s flow rate and enjoy fresh, clean water wherever you roam.
Sawyer's International Mission
Sawyer believes everyone deserves access to clean water — from hikers in the backcountry to indigenous people groups in the remotest corners of the world.
For over 10 years, Sawyer has been working with a variety of charities and churches who are on a mission to make a long-lasting impact in the lives of those around the world without access to clean drinking water.
High Performance Water Filtration
Hollow Fiber Membrane
Sawyer’s water filters are comprised of tiny hollow fiber membranes that allow water to enter their core through tiny micro-pores.
Thicker fiber walls combined with a smaller inner diameter make Sawyer fibers 75% stronger* than typical hollow fiber membranes, giving you a fast flow and enabling the filter to be continually backwashed forcefully to restore up to 98% of the original flow rate.
* Clean Water Institute of Calvin University; July, 2018
0.1 Absolute Micron Filtering
Each Sawyer water filter features 0.1 micron absolute filtration, meaning there is no pore size larger than 0.1 micron in size.
This makes it nearly impossible for microplastics, harmful bacteria, protozoa, or cysts like E. coli, Giardia, Vibrio cholerae, and Salmonella typhi (which cause Cholera and Typhoid) to pass through.
Fiber Protection
Sawyer's hollow fiber membranes are fully encased and sealed to keep them protected. When fibers are not enclosed, physical damage of exposed fibers could allow harmful pathogens to pass through.
Tested 3 Times
Every Sawyer filter is performance tested three separate times during the manufacturing process for your protection.
Testing occurs after the fiber element construction and twice after casing assembly to ensure no harmful pathogens leak through the sealed case or internal O-rings.

Inexpensive, lightweight and efficient!
As an avid backpacker who is on the trial for up to a week at a time I needed a water filtration system that was simple, lightweight, efficient and inexpensive. Sawyer has always been my go to filtration system but my previous Sawyer was the smaller mini which unfortunately had its drawbacks and needed to be backwashed multiple times per trip. I found this system to be the best and adapted it to be gravity fed into smart water bottles using a "tornado tube" its nice to be able to sit down and let your filter do the work instead of squeezing and aiming and making a mess like I use to do. Personally I prefer the 32oz and 64oz bladders, I find the 16oz bladders are near useless.
