Water Filter

My favorite water filters.

  1. Sawyer mini – I have used the Sawyer Mini for years and find it works really well. It is small light weight and very easy to use. The thing I like most about it is that you can drink straight from the filter or you can squeeze the water into a separate container allowing you to carry more clean water with you as you go.
  2. Berkey GSPRT water bottle – This is a water bottle with a built-in filter this allows you to fill the bottle with any water from anywhere and simply drink like you would out of a standard straw that you find in most sports water bottles. This makes it super simple to use and fast to get what you need and keep moving.
  3. Sawyer Squeeze – I have not used the Sawyer squeeze which is the Mini’s bigger option. I have heard from many people that the flow rate on the Squeeze is much better and it can filter a ton more water than the mini. However, I feel the Mini serves me well and don’t plan to buy a Squeeze now that I have the Mini.
  4. Sawyer Products Personal Water Bottle Filter – Like the Berkey this is a standard water bottle that you just fill and go. It is very quick and easy to use allowing anyone, even your children to filter water and not slow them down.
