SawyerProducts | Sawyer Training - High Performance Water Filters and the 4 Reasons Why Sawyer Sets the Standard @SawyerProducts | Uploaded March 2020 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
THE SAWYER® STANDARD FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE FILTERS
1. ABSOLUTE MICRONS
What it means:
• No pore is larger than 0.1 in the Sawyer® PointOneFilter™.
• No pore is larger than 0.02 in the Sawyer® PointZeroTwo
Purifier™.
• Sawyer WILL not use average or nominal pore size ratings.
Why it’s important:
• Without absolute pore size, larger holes are present which
could allow bacteria, protozoa, cysts, or viruses to pass.
• No harmful bacteria, protozoa, or cysts can pass through
the SawyerPointOne Filter.
• No harmful viruses, bacteria, protozoa, or cysts can pass
through the SawyerPointTwo Purifier.
• All Sawyer filters will remove 100% of microplastics from
the water.
2. FIBER STRENGTH - KNOWN AS HOOP STRENGTH
What it means:
Thicker fiber walls and smaller inner diameter of the fibers
make Sawyer fibers ~75% stronger than fibers of other typical
hollow fiber membranes.
Why it’s important:
Stronger fibers allow for aggressive backwashing and shock
resistance. Meaning each Sawyer filter can be continually
backwashed forcefully restoring up to 98% of the original flow
fate.
Because of this exclusive technology, the Sawyer Mini Filter™
and Micro Squeeze Filter™ can be cleaned and reused
for up to 100,000 gallons. The Squeeze Water Filter™ and
PointZeroTwo™ Purifier offer a lifetime guarantee.

3. 100% INDIVIDUALLY TESTED 3 TIMES
What it means:
Every Sawyer filter is performance tested three different
times during the manufacturing process for your protection.
Why it’s important:
To ensure every Sawyer filter is 0.1 or 0.02 absolute micron
and that no harmful pathogens can pass through the filter.
Every filter is 3X tested. Sawyer does NOT batch test or
statistically test for failure. 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.
4. PROTECTED FIBERS
What it means:
Our hollow fiber membranes are fully encased and sealed
to keep them protected.
Why it’s important:
When fibers are not enclosed, physical damage of exposed
fibers could allow harmful pathogens to pass through.

5. THE SAWYER FILTER STANDARD
Sawyer is willing to invest in these points of difference to
ensure every Sawyer filter performs exactly as stated time
and time again, for your protection. This is the Sawyer®
filter standard.
