Sawyer Squeeze SP131 water filter
Sawyer Squeeze is a small travel water filter with an incredibly long lifespan. It uses hollow microfibers, with membrane walls featuring pore sizes of up to 0,1 microns. With its low weight (70 g), high efficiency (99,999%), and long lifespan (3 000 000 liters), it ranks among the best in the world.
Reliable travel water filter with high flow rate and a lifespan of 3 000 000 liters of filtered water.
How it works
The filter contains a large number of hollow U-shaped microfibers that trap contaminants while allowing the flow of clean, decontaminated water. The pore size is 0,1 microns; meaning anything larger is captured in the microfibers.
The Sawyer Micro Squeeze filter guarantees the removal of 99,99999% of all harmful bacteria (Salmonella, cholera, E. coli, etc.), parasitic protozoa (Giardia and Cryptosporidium), and 100% of microplastics.
Package contents
- Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter (72 g)
- Syringe for backflushing
- 2x foldable bottle with a 2 l capacity and cap
- 1x foldable bottle with a 0,5 l capacity and cap
- Inline adapter for connection to a hydration bladder or gravity filtration
- Adapter for backflushing using a PET bottle – or for easy filling of standard-threaded water bottles
- Soft straw

Usage and lifespan
Simply screw the filter onto a Sawyer bottle or another compatible bottle and squeeze.
You can drink directly from the filter – it comes with a sports cap (on/off) similar to those found on cycling bottles. Alternatively, you can filter water into a clean bottle.
Compared to the SAWYER MINI filter, it is larger and a few grams heavier, but it offers a faster flow rate (around 2 l/min). The first half-liter of filtered water might be slower, but once the internal fibers are fully saturated, the filter speeds up.
With regular maintenance, the Sawyer Squeeze guarantees a lifespan of over 3 000 000 liters of water.
Maintenance
Protect the filter from freezing. If water freezes inside, it could damage the microfibers. From time to time, backflush the filter using the provided syringe with clean water, flushing in the opposite direction of filtration. Ideally, do this after every trip.
We have used the Sawyer Squeeze filter on many treks, especially abroad. For example, during a trek across Iceland, where sheep contaminated practically all local water sources, the filter was essential.
