That's because the Sawyer Squeeze has been the most popular filter among hikers for over a decade. Not much interest in such a universally known product.
Attach it to the bottom 20 litre bucket hanging from a tree for bulk gravity filtering for a group of people, perhaps even feeding straight into water tank under a caravan or camper trailer.
As far as I am aware they all need to meet certain standards, Sawyer offer some information here for their products - www.sawyer.com/resource-categories/water-filtration. ~ Ben
Great video, I need to get a water filter for Wild camping on Dartmoor soon, I’ve used a Sawyer mini before it was hard work getting the water through it so this one looks a lot better, does it need to dry out to be stored?
Good question. I'd say that if you are storing it for a long time then it would be worth drying it out, otherwise with regular use and short storage times it should be fine. ~ Ben
Sawyer Squize is now price gouging, raising there price from 29$ to 45.99 absolutely reduclous our troop was going to purchase these now they made it impossible. I will not use or purchase any product from the ever again. There price gouging goes against everything they stand for. Will be releasing a video on this reduclous price gouging Sawyer is doing. Do not purchase from this company. There head is getting to big and now money is more important than the mission. I have formally removed all my support and referrals for there product.
Considering it lasts a lifetime it actually comes out cheaper than a cheap BeFree that you have to replace. And Sawyer gives them for free to communities in Africa and South America that need clean drinking water. Doesn't sound greedy to me. It'd be nice if they sold the Squeeze separately to reduce the cost (no one wants those junk bags it comes with), but they'll replace it for the rest of your life. No one needs the endorsement of someone who cannot spell "their" correctly. Sawyer will continue to be the top seller of filters. Enjoy replacing filters and spending more money!
You can rip through gallons of water with this thing, especially if you run it in gravity mode with a multi gallon water bag hung above. Personally I'll never use any other kind of filter again.

That syringe serves double duty as filter backflush and include in First Aid Kit to irrigate cuts & wounds to remove dirt & bacteria.
Love camping gear with multi uses!

This was quite helpful and very well done, I'm surprised it doesn't have more views. Thanks!
I'm glad it was useful, thanks for your comment. ~ Ben

Yep, good idea, these are really versatile little filters. ~ Ben
Excellent demo
Thanks for your feedback
~ Lauren
Is it recommended to backwash it before first use?
It wouldn't hurt, for sure
~ Lauren
I just bought the SP2101 model and it doesn't have the gravity bag or the blue adapter. I'm disappointed because I can't find those parts anywhere.
I'm not familiar with that part number, I assume it didn't come from us? It looks like most kits should include the extras. ~ Ben
Are any of these devices third party tested and/or certified?

No problem!

Definitely don’t let it freeze
Hi, is the filter you're showing the sp131 or sp129 model, please? Thanks!
The model number is SP129, details here - www.snowys.com.au/point-one-squeeze-water-filter-system. ~ Ben
That thing is hard to use when it’s new. A pain in the ass to filter even a liter of water.
Thanks for the feedback!
I have one, but yet to use it in real life
~ Lauren
Too many things to loose.
Not if you keep it in a dedicated pouch in your pack - thats generally the way to go

I'm sorry you feel this way, prices on just about everything are going up considerably at the moment. Ben
It’s made in America. It works. Everything is more expensive to make. Everything.
Cost and demand man. Boo hoo. Everybody is a Prepper all of a sudden and they do it the best. Cry a river.
No way you're serious😂 I live in the bush don't work and these are still not impossible to buy

Way to small
Its actually one of the larger water filters around, and comparatively seem quite large.
Depends what your use case is I guess!
