PointOne All-in-One

Water backflows from the neck of the filter. Cleaned the filter as per instruction.

Excellent system this is if u like the outdoors buy this and u will not need to carry excess water ever again absolutely brilliant. Will last u a lifetime as long as u don't let it freeze but if u do they are not expensive. Around£25 not bad for 500 thousand gallons of filtered water.

Habe mir noch zusätzlich ein Kohle-Aktiv-Filter gekauft den ich nachgeschaltet habe. Es kappt super und das Wasser schmeckt wirklich gut. Es gibt hier keine laufenden Kosten wie bei den Einweg-Filtern. Alle halbe Jahr muß die Aktiv-Kohle ausgetauscht werden. Nachfüllpackung hält aber ewig. Vielen Dank für die Entwicklung und man kann es nur weiterempfehlen.

Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter Versus Sawyer All-In-One Water Filter I bought two of each of these filter systems with the spare squeeze bags of 1 and 2 liter capacities for use by students in remote areas of the Amazon River Basin. Firstly, Sawyer has pioneered the use of smaller (0.1 and 0.02 micron) uniform hollow fiber fast-flow filters for water purification. These are available from Sawyer as many different systems. This review is about the merits of the Sawyer 0.1 (`pointzeroone') Squeeze Water Purifier System and the Sawyer 0.1 All-In-One Water Purifier System. Both of these systems are supplied include the same 60 ml backflushing syringe and the 0.1 micron filter unit which is guaranteed to filter up to an unprecedented 1 million gallons!! WOW! Importantly, the filter fibers must be `pre-wetted' before use which is easy to perform (see Sawyer web site) and back-flushed with clean water using the included syringe after use to ensure the long filter life. Sawyer Products PointOne Squeeze Water Filtration System Sawyer PointONE All in One Filter N.B. 0.1 micron is slightly smaller than the 0.2 micron pore size provided by other companies water filters and ensures that even the thinnest bacteria (e.g. Leptospira interrogans serovars which may cause severe `Weil's disease' and pulmonary leptospirosis in humans), some of which (enough for us to culture in our laboratory) can get through 0.2 micron pores cannot get through 0.1 micro pores (see some of my scientific publications of Leptospira interrogans if you want). The Sawyer Squeeze system in provided with one or three different sized (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 liter) bags (obviously with different prices: see below)) with screw thread attachments to the water filter. Thus, just choose the water volume you require, fill up the appropriate sized water bag required (or collect in a larger container for multiple fill of the bag), screw the bag into the filter unit and gently squeeze the water through the filter into a clean receptacle or directly into your mouth. The Sawyer Squeeze Water Filtration System costs $ 35.00 with one water bag (pouch) or $ 40.42 with the three different sized bag (pouches). Since these bags may break if subjected to excessive pressure, spare bags of 0.5, 0.1 ($ 9.00 for 3 bags) or 2.0 ($ 9.00 for two bags) can be obtained: Sawyer Products Squeezable Pouches By contrast, the Sawyer All-In-One is a system which can be used with either; a) the two squeeze bags (12 oz (approximately 400 ml: N.B, VERY SMALL) or 32 oz (1 liter)) included, b) a fawcet/tap water attachment with a connecting tube which is included, or c) a large bucket (not included) through the included drill bit, connectors and washers and tubing so as to filter large capacities of water by gravity. N.B. SAWYER CLAIM THAT YOU DO NOT NEED AN ELECTRIC DRILL TO DRILL THE REQUIRED HOLE IN A BUCKET, BUT I WOULD NEED AT LEAST A PAIR OF PLIERS FOR THIS TASK SINCE IT IS DIFFICULT TO SECURELY GRIP THE BASE OF THE DRILL BIT TO DRILL WITH IT USING YOUR HANDS. SOME SAND PAPER WOULD ALSO HELP TO SMOOTH THE DRILLED EDGES IN THE BUCKET TO MAKE A WATER-TIGHT FIT FROM THE SUPPLIED 'PLUMBING' ATTACHMENTS TO THE OUTLET TUBE! Thus, the Sawyer All-In-One system allows for squeeze bag pressure, fawcet pressure, or gravitational pressure and is a really versatile system. The fawcet connector is ideal for connection to the fawcets in field and hotels/houses where the water quality is likely to be suspect, while the bucket connector is suitable for larger teams of people, or if staying for long periods of time in one area with a suspect tap water supply. As expected, however, the All-In-One filter system is MORE EXPENSIVE at a cost of $ 54.45. Importantly, these squeeze bags, fawcet and bucket attachments can be used on any of the Sawyer filters and you can use them on the very small 1-2 person Sawyer Mini filter system which comes in five different colors (black, blue, green, orange and pink) (useful for identification of whose is whose filter in a family/group situation), only costs $ 20.00 (or $ 17.00 each if you buy the more economical 4 pack of different colors), and which is ideal for short breaks with only 1-2 persons (maximum filtration 100,000 gallons : i.e. 10x less than the larger filters). Sawyer Products Mini Water Filtration System In conclusion, I believe that both the Sawyer Squeeze and the All-In-One Water Purification systems are both 5 Star products, but I am willing the additional money to buy the flexibility of the Sawyer All-In-One system. The author declares that No Conflicts Of Interest Exist in the review of these two products, or any other products mentioned in this review.

Con 0,1 micras de filtrado, eliminando bacterias y protozoos, la sensación de seguridad cuando cogemos agua sospechosa es muy alta, aplicando o lejía o pastillas de cloro para eliminar los posibles virus, la tranquilidad ya es total. La única pega, es que me ha venido sin la broca especial para realizar el orificio en el balde de agua, me he tenido que buscar la vida para hacer el agujero de otra forma. Salvo este detalle, es de gran versatilidad: vale para adaptar al grifo, agua de un balde o usando la bolsa que viene incluida. He realizado una prueba con agua de una charca bastante sucia, la ha dejado casi casi transparente, lo único que no he eliminado es el olor, aunque imagino que ni este filtro ni otro serían capaz de eliminarlo.
