The Sawyer Mini Water Filter is a second generation filter that is the lightest and most versatile personal filtration system from Sawyer. With a total field weight of 2 ounces it fits in the palm of your hand. This tiny filter does the same job that the Sawyer PointOne filter does but now in a more compact, personal size. The Sawyer Mini filter is perfect for everything from camping with the kids to traveling abroad where tap and bottle water cannot be trusted.
The filter removes 7 log (99.99999%) of all bacteria (like salmonella) as well as other harmful bacteria which causes cholera and E. coli and 6 log (99.9999%) of all protozoa such as giardia and cryptosporidium. These removal rates equal or exceed other filter options. EPA guidelines allow ten times more protozoa left in the water than Sawyer PointOne filters allow.
Attach the Mini to the included drinking pouch, use the included straw to drink directly from your water source, connect it to hydration pack tubing (sold separately), or screw it onto standard disposable bottles (28 mm thread). The Sawyer Mini Water Filter is rated up to 100,000 gallons. It comes with 16-ounce reusable squeeze pouch, 7-inch drinking straw, and cleaning plunger.
Since 1984, Sawyer Products has offered the best, most technologically advanced solutions for protection against sun, bugs, water, and injuries — everything from first aid kits developed for wilderness to point-of-use water filters that filter contaminated water to levels cleaner than U.S. bottled water.

Awesome filter. Don’t buy any more water treatment pills! I can’t believe I used bleach and iodine pills for so long! I waited a while for the best price on the Sawyer Mini, but the truth is the price doesn’t fluctuate that much and it’s well worth the price.I ended up with a pink filter due to lowest price, which I’m not wild about, but it -does- make it easier to find in my pack and when I’m backpacking with a group of friends I never end up in the argument about whose blue filter is whose.The filter works so smoothly I don’t…
Very reliable and important mechanism. This is a life saver. I was on a 4 day backpacking trip in the Catskills on a trail with very little water. At one point I found bed rock that had some natural dips that had collected some water. I layed flat on the ground, stuck my Sawyer Straw in and drank up.Tip: When drinking or extracting water keep the tip of the straw above the sediment. This also comes w/ a small bladder that you attach right to the straw. You can fill the bladder with unfiltered water, attach it to the straw…
Works Great, Does it’s Job. Tried this out on a two day back country hike and it worked great! Started out with 2 full one liter Smart Water bottles that lasted us until the first water source, a small pool in a slow moving stream. We carried a 1 pint empty water bottle with us because we read another review that said filling the squeeze bag could be difficult. That was great advice and saved us a lot of grief as we found that filling the squeeze bag in a shallow pool is about impossible and will stir up a lot of…
