Product Description
A lightweight, versatile personal filtration system, the second-generation Sawyer MINI Water Filter fits in the palm of your hand and has a total field weight of just 2 ounces. Perfect for everything from camping with the kids to traveling abroad where tap and bottle water can't be trusted, the tiny MINI provides 0.1 micron absolute filtration for clean drinking water on the go — filtering out bacteria, protozoa, and microplastics. The MINI 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 MINI filters allow. The MINI also filters out 100% of microplastics. The MINI 0.1 micron absolute filter houses a cluster of micro-fibrous tubes which use similar technology found in medical dialysis. As water passes through the side walls of the tubes, harmful bacteria and protozoa are trapped on the outer walls so you can be confident your water is safe to drink. Great for outdoor recreation, hiking, camping, scouting, domestic and international travel, and emergency prepping, the Sawyer MINI gives you a number of ways to access clean water. Attach it 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 (28mm thread). 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.

Ready for the BackcountryThe ultra-light, easily packable Sawyer MINI water filter fits in the palm of your hand and weighs just 2 ounces — making it ideal for ultralight backpacking and camping, as well as emergency preparedness. Each MINI comes with a durable, collapsible 16-ounce reusable squeeze pouch that rolls up when empty, so it won't take up space in your pack. |
Filtered Water AnywhereThe reusable 0.1 absolute micron MINI water filter produces clean water from freshwater lakes, rivers, and streams, as well as faucets in your home or hotel room while traveling (domestic and international). The MINI also comes with a straw that enables you to drink filtered water directly from a water source. |
Easy DrinkingTo start filtering water, simply fill the squeeze pouch with water from your water source, then attach the MINI filter onto the pouch and start drinking right from the MINI or squeeze into a water bottle to share with others. The MINI also attaches onto water or soda bottles with a standard threaded top, and you can attach inline on a hydration pack to filter water from a bladder (sold separately). |
Sawyer's International MissionSawyer believes everyone deserves access to clean water — from hikers in the backcountry to indigenous people groups in the remotest corners of the world. For over 10 years, Sawyer has been working with a variety of charities and churches who are on a mission to make a long-lasting impact in the lives of those around the world without access to clean drinking water. |

Hollow Fiber MembraneSawyer’s water filters are comprised of tiny hollow fiber membranes that allow water to enter into their core through tiny micro-pores. Thicker fiber walls combined with a smaller inner diameter make Sawyer fibers 75% stronger* than typical hollow fiber membranes, giving you a fast flow and enabling the filter to be continually backwashed forcefully to restore up to 98% of the original flow rate. * Clean Water Institute of Calvin University; July, 2018 |
0.1 Absolute Micron FilteringEach Sawyer water filter features 0.1 micron absolute filtration, meaning there is no pore size larger than 0.1 micron in size. This makes it nearly impossible for microplastics, harmful bacteria, protozoa, or cysts like E. coli, Giardia, Vibrio cholerae, and Salmonella typhi (which cause Cholera and Typhoid) to pass through. |
Fiber ProtectionSawyer's hollow fiber membranes are fully encased and sealed to keep them protected. When fibers are not enclosed, physical damage of exposed fibers could allow harmful pathogens to pass through. |
Tested 3 TimesEvery Sawyer filter is performance tested three separate times during the manufacturing process for your protection. 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. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
First, the obvious. This is likely the lightest filter available. It's about the volume of a roll of quarters but a fraction of the weight. However strong you are, there's no advantage to carrying more weight to do the same basic task - water is water.
Second, this filter has no moving parts, no batteries, no pump or anything else that can fail. It's a solid piece. As long as you keep it from freezing and damaging the internal filter pores, you can depend on this to keep right on being a filter. It can be easily cleaned in the field using nothing more than the syringe it comes with.
Last, and maybe greatest of all, this filter can be used so many ways. Just look at the reviews for how everyone has used it differently to do the same basic task. The Sawyer can be used for on-demand filtration, in-line filtration, or filtration on the move. It comes with a dirty water bag, but it can be screwed on to most small-mouth bottles with standard threading (NOTE: does not work on Platypus, they use proprietary threads), so you can use a big bag, or a disposable bottle, or whatever.
The tradeoffs: although it flows sufficiently to drink on demand, it's slow-ish for filtering quantities of water, say to refill your pack at a stream that you will not be hiking alongside or seeing again for a while. It's not so slow that most people will find it frustrating to filter enough water for themselves, but relying on a SINGLE Sawyer to filter water for a whole group is not going to be a speedy process. It does not filter (all) viruses and does nothing for chemicals, so it should not be relied on for that - but most water in developed countries won't need that kind of filtration.
This is the Raspberry Pi of water filters. Small, simple, and "hackable" in practical and sometimes creative ways. Even if you own a larger filter for group hydration, pick up a Sawyer.
The downside to the squeeze-bag method of water filtration is: it requires you to get your hands wet which isn't a fun prospect when it's a cold morning and the water is even colder, the bag can be difficult to fill all the way at times, and of course it doesn't filter viruses. I would say another downside is that it takes a minute or two longer than a pump but that's not even true because it takes longer to set up a pump before you can start filtering - so unless you are planning to pump more than 32 oz at a time it's just as fast (if not faster) than a pump. Plus you can carry an extra 16 oz of water before pumping the filter away!
Unless you plan on filtering some very questionable standing-water I don't see ANY benefit to using a pump.
The filter wouldn't be worth anything though if it didn't serve it's primary purpose well. There is a reason Sawyer filters are used world wide and in countries where contaminated water can be fatal. It does exactly what it claims. Be mindful though, while this removes a lot of bacteria in the water, it will not remove viruses.
I've used this inline with my platypus water bladder as well as with just using the squeeze pouch that comes with it. Both ways work well. However, I might consider going with the Sawyer Squeeze for inline hydration as it has a better flow rate. But for the weight and size, this works just fine. If the flow starts getting real bad, make sure you properly back flush the filter with the included syringe. This helps free up any debris the filter has caught and lets purified water flow through faster.

Wir konnten stets mit einem Minimum an Wasservorräten wandern. Es war zudem sehr schön, Wasser trinken zu können, das nicht nach Chlor schmeckte.
An seine Grenze stieß der Filter jedoch, als uns Wasser aus einer verrußten guatemaltekischen Bergdorf-Hütte gegeben wurde, das furchtbar rauchig schmeckte. Auch nach dem Filtern schmeckte das Wasser gruselig ...
