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.
More than just a nuisance or a nasty bite, ticks can carry several serious, life-altering and even fatal diseases. From Lyme Disease that can cause neurological disorders like Bell’s Palsy, flu-like symptoms, cognitive/psychiatric/muscoskeletal/respiratory symptoms, and more, to Rocky Mountain spotted fever and severe red meat allergies - ticks can transmit a range of vector borne diseases and one may not know until their life has already been flipped upside down. These diseases can hinder your ability to engage in daily activities such as work, socialize, and your hobbies. Preventing ticks from crawling on you or making it into your home in the first place is one of the most effective ways to avoid all the troublesome diseases they carry.
If you’re hiking in the great outdoors, the possibility of picking up a tick is high. Walking through thick brush, sitting in the grass during a quick break, or placing your backpack on the ground, even if only for a few minutes, are all ways to come face-to-face with an eight-legged hitchhiker. Also, if you are sitting on the grass at a concert or while star gazing, around a camp fire, walking the dog, or even mowing your own yard, it is incredibly important to protect yourself from these disease carrying insects. Nymph ticks are the highest cause of Lyme Disease cases in humans and also the most challenging ticks to see. They are most common as the season changes from Winter to Spring time when everyone is focused on the beautiful weather. Treating your clothes and gear with Sawyer Permethrin prior to your excursion is your first line of defense against tick and insect borne diseases.
Permethrin is a fabric insect repellent treatment with a chemical make-up similar to the organic compounds produced by Chrysanthemum-like flowers. Sawyer Permethrin can be applied to clothing, gear, and other fabrics. It does not harm any fabrics or finishes and the treatment is 100% odorless after drying. Once the insect repellent has completely dried and bonded with the fabric fibers, it will last for 6 weeks or 6 washes. The treatment does not deteriorate in the rain or in water, it is the heavy agitation of a washing machine or outdoor exposure that slowly breaks down the permethrin insect repellent.
Did you know that you have 74x more protection against ticks latching on to your shoes and crawling up your leg when treating your socks and shoes with Sawyer Permethrin? (tickencounter.org/research/summer_clothing) In addition to clothing and accessories like shoes, boots, and waders, Sawyer Permethrin is ideal for treating backpacks, tents, camp furniture, hammocks, mosquito netting, luggage, and even bed sheets.You can even apply Sawyer Permethrin directly to dogs for protection from mosquitoes and fleas for 35 days and protection from ticks for 6 weeks. Research shows there is a strong relationship between canine and human infection, and according to prevalence maps, there has been an 8% increase in canine Lyme Disease cases in January 2018 compared to January 2019. You can read the full application instructions for use on dogs at http://www.sawyer.com/dogs.
Children claim the highest incident rate of Lyme Disease in the United States. These pesky ticks may be found at summer camp, the bushes at their school playground, on stone walls, wooded picnic tables at the park, and even your own backyard. It is imperative to educate yourself and your children on the best practices to stay tick free. We all know the catchy tune, “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes”, but when checking for ticks, you want to be certain to check in all the “between areas” as well. This includes your underarms, waist/back area, neck, belly button, and groin.
Avoid this trouble and do not fall a victim to Lyme Disease. Steer clear of the ‘Lyme Journey’ and pretreat your clothing and gear with Sawyer Permethrin.

Unlike topical insect repellents applied to the skin, Permethrin is applied to clothing and outdoor gear material, bonding to the fabric fibers for up to 6 weeks (42 days) or 6 washings.
When a tick, mosquito, or other insect comes into contact with Permethrin, it absorbs a dose that will either repel or kill the insect. The synthetic version of pyrethrum (a natural insecticide derived from the chrysanthemum flower), Permethrin is non-toxic and registered for use by the U.S. EPA.
To apply, spray Permethrin directly onto clothing and gear with a slow sweeping motion, keeping the bottle about 6 to 8 inches away and treating each side of the garment for about 30 seconds.

El Impenetrable is one of Argentina’s most remote & wild areas (40.000 km2) at the border with Paraguay, where is still possible to find large mammals such as jaguars, pumas, maned wolves, giant armadillos, tapirs, 3 species of peccaries, and giant anteaters. And the waters shelter alligators, yellow anacondas, & piranhas.
During that trip I was able to check first handed the local communities’ struggle to get clean drinkable water (unfortunately just in Latin America 100,000 people die every year due to water contamination). Three years later, I was finally able to return to “El Impenetrable” to donate water filters & solar lights, to those who need them most!" - Federico Cabrera

The science behind Blist-O-Ban™ is its patented dome, which actually mimics a blister. It glides smoothly in all directions, deflecting friction and rubbing forces away from the skin. It redirects pressure away from hot spots, preventing a blister from forming. Blist-o-ban™ bandages are also great if you’re breaking in new shoes or boots.
The bandages are ultra-thin, breathable, water-resistant and latex-free.
The trick to a successful backwashing is to be very forceful with the process. Water will always take the path of least resistance, so in order to full flush out the filter and restore it's flow rate, the backwashing pressure needs to exceed the pressure in which it is used. A successful backwash can restore up to 98.5% of the flow rate.
If your filter is very clogged we'd recommend first soaking it in warm water to loosen up the fibers. If your water source is mineral rich, then we'd even suggest soaking it in vinegar.
