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 has used technological advancements to create products that keep you outdoors — from the backcountry to the backyard — including insect repellents for both skin and clothing, water filters for camping and emergencies, and sun protection.

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. |
High Performance Water Filtration

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.
A friend who uses a well known competitor initially mocked my purchase of a filter he'd never heard of. Now he looks on with envy as I fill the included bottle bag from a river or stream then screw my sawyer on to the cap and drink with ease. I've typically drank my first bag and am filling a second as he is still maneuvering to the water's edge to find a position to use his filter like a straw. (It's very hard to drink from most rivers when you need to put your face 6 inches from the water and you don't want to get wet.)
The water tastes pure and there is no plastic flavor or otherwise from the filter. If you want to use it like my friend and his straw approach, simply connect the included extender and struggle to drink comfortably to your heart's desire. The included plunger makes clearing a slow or clogged filter simple, typically less than 5 minutes of my time to fully clean the system (filter, bag, and extender if used.)
The end of the filter can screw to the tops of standard size disposable plastic water bottles as well as Platypus bottles since they are the same size. Overall, this filter is easy and good. Exactly what you'd want in an item that could save you from drinking contaminated water and ending up sick somewhere you'd rather not get sick.
I used this filtration system on a Thanksgiving hike in the Adirondacks. I filled my hydration pack and water bottles several times from local creeks and streams, and thankfully (to my knowledge) two months post I don't have any sort of bacterial or parasitic infection, so the water filter must have done its job! The best part (besides providing me with potable drinking water) was the water tasted incredibly good. Before leaving the beautiful Adirondack wilderness, I took the time to fill up all of the water containers I could carry because the water literally tasted that crisp and delicious. It's an amazing little device, my only grip is the durability. I traveled with a friend who also uses the same unit, and after a year of moderate usage, the water begins to escape between the seal and the pouch, and pouches tend to break after a few usages. If this unit holds up to more heavy usage I would easily give it a five star rating! Luckily, replacement pouches or a replacement system won't break the bank. If you're thinking about buying one, you should pull the trigger and add this tiny wonder to your outdoor arsenal.
