When Clean Water Isn\u2019t Available, Make it So \u2013 With a Sawyer<\/a><\/h3>\n

As you well know, many surface water sources must be treated before drinking because they are\u00a0repositories for bacteria, viruses, and a slew of parasites<\/a> both microscopic and\/or larger.<\/p>\n

I have written several articles for Ready Nutrition about water purification methods<\/a>, as well as methods for water storage<\/a>. What we\u2019re doing here is \u201ccutting to the chase\u201d to let you know about a product that will do more than just do in a pinch: it will suffice for a long, long time and work quickly and almost effortlessly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Sawyer Mini Water Filtration System<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>is a compact, portable, three-part \u201csystem\u201d that you can stick into a cargo pocket of your pants or shorts with ease. It can be put together and placed over a drinking vessel such as a water bottle, or you can hook up the straw that comes with it and drink directly through the filter itself. It can also be hooked up to a Camelbak water pouch<\/a>. It comes with a pouch of its own that you can fill up with water and then squeeze through the filter into a bottle or other drinking vessel.<\/p>\n

The Sawyer was invented a few years back through experimentation with kidney dialysis equipment, and they came up with a filter that uses a 0.1-micron filter that circulates the water to be filtered through fibrous micro-tubes, for a central collection of filtered water.\u00a0 It works on protozoans such as giardia, bacteria such as E.coli<\/em>, cholera<\/em>, and salmonella<\/em><\/a>, and also on more \u201cdifficult\u201d organisms such as Cryptosporidium<\/em><\/a>. Want the \u201ckicker\u201d for this thing?<\/p>\n

It filters up to 100,000 gallons<\/u>.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you drank 2 gallons a day, in 100 years, you would drink about 74,000 gallons. Pretty good, huh? The whole thing weighs less than 2 ounces. Now, JJ\u2019s tips here are simple when you use this thing.<\/p>\n
