Sawyer Products is headquartered in Florida and makes water filtration equipment used by disaster relief NGOs, US military units, and long-distance hikers worldwide. The Squeeze's key differentiator: its hollow fiber filter is rated for 100,000 gallons — a lifetime supply for any individual. The filter never needs replacement; just backflush when flow rate drops.
Sawyer's guarantee: the hollow fiber filter will not fail before 100,000 gallons. For perspective, drinking 1 gallon per day for 274 years equals 100,000 gallons. This is a permanent water filtration capability in a 3-ounce package.
The Squeeze works inline on a hydration bladder hose, as a squeeze filter from the included pouches, as a gravity filter when hung from a tree, or screwed onto a standard water bottle. Four deployment modes in one device.
