Sawyer Products SP134 TAP Water Filtration System, Fits Faucets & Hose Bibs, Blue (one Size)

Sawyer makes some great filtration products. I've tried several other Sawyer models (Micro, Mini, Select) and filter brands (Katadyn, Platypus, MSR) and the "full size" Squeeze filter, combined with a generic 2L plastic water bottle, is still the most reliable water filtration system for backpackers who are weight conscious. Sure, there are other brands, or other Sawyer models that weigh less or boast higher flow rates, but 10 years later, this is still my go-to filter. Pros: Widely available and reasonably priced wherever you're traveling to hike in the US. Easy to use and maintain, adaptable, and has a suitable flow rate. Cons: Be careful not to let it freeze up. The mylar squeeze bags are garbage. It's better to attach the filter directly to a 2L bottle or pick up a Vecto wide-mouth storage bag from CNOC, thread the filter onto the bag and squeeze filtered water into a 2L bottle. This is not ideal for group use due to the flow rate, but it can be set up as a gravity filter from a large storage bag at camp.

Clean water is a must. Sawyer is my go-to.

Have not had to use this yet in an emergency. But I have used it just to test it. I tested it on our sink. Recommend to use very low pressure on it. It can slip off the connector to the sink. But in an emergency to obtain drinking water from your pipes in the event of let’s say a boil alert it would be great to get fresh clean water. I own other products they sell too and have had only one and sawyer customer service was great. It’s well made and will save your life if the water coming through the pipes is not drinkable. Please note those unfamiliar with how this works read the instructions carefully so it connects securely. One could set it up wrong and water will spray everywhere.

Compact filter I use on rain barrels for my outdoor patio garden in the dry season. Filters pretty well, but the water doesn't come out completely clear. Removes odors, but the water still has a slight green tint. Installs in a minute. Will filter 5 gallons with just gravity fed flow in about 20 minutes.

Hace algunos años vengo usando sawyer como mi filtro de confianza y desde luego, esta compra fue un total acierto. he tenido varios modelos diferentes a medida que los fui necesitando. Este en especifico fue un extra para la cocina, aunque ya tenia un SP129 que lo usamos para recolectar agua en un recipiente a diario. queríamos algo mas de inmediatez y esta fue la elección. Sabrás que hiciste la compra correcta al momento de ver en el retro lavado, de todo lo que el filtro te ha salvado.

Bought this after the 2021 freeze in Texas and stashed it away. The 2022 freeze did not have us lose electricity or water but our city had a boil water notice due to a problem at the plant, totally unrelated to the freeze, but at the tail end of it. I found this filter and while it did not fit any of our inside faucets (because we have weird modern fixtures with no regular screw in opening) it fit the hose bib perfectly and I was able to get us all the very clean water we needed for us and the pets. So happy to have had this even though I didn't need it for a full year after purchase.

I live kinda remotely so I keep a backup water supply just in case I lose my well or electricity to run the well pump. My daily water tastes fine as long as it goes through my treating system. But lose that and the taste is not the greatest. I’ve used Sawyer filters for years for backpacking and camping. But this one allows you to collect a lot of water in a short period of time. You don’t have to worry about bacteria, E Coli, salmonella giardia, etc. If you keep up with the news, we are now drinking and eating micro plastics as well as the “forever chemicals” (PFAs). Sawyer takes care of the micro plastics but not the PFAs, nor heavy metals, arsenic, lead, much less taste and odor. You really need a carbon filter to take care of all of that crap. So I buy the Platypus Carbon Element here on Amazon and place it inline but downstream of the Sawyer filter. (See photo as example of setup) What you get is some of the best tasting water you’ve ever had. You can forget about buying bottled water anymore. I highly recommend this setup to anyone and everyone.

I recently bought this for my trip to mexico. I went to a number of hostels and the filter fits most of the taps that I was exposed to. I find it easier to use the filter without the adapters. It may not be the right thing to do and may wear the product faster, but that is what I found.

今回は2個目ですが水の味が大幅に良くなります、カルキのにおいもなくおすすめです今回はありがとうございました。

This product has travelled the world and became one of the most reliable and most valued pieces of equipment in my bag during three years of round the world travel. Used this everywhere on any 99% of tap types, and if not there was always a workaround possible. This stuff always provides a truly reliable source of free and available water supply whenever and wherever you need it. This saved me tons of money in the long run and I would always buy a new one when necessary. Used this wonderful filter without getting any stomach issues at all in 'bad rep' countries in terms of water suply such as India, Mexico, Brasil, China, you name it. Simple yet highly efficient, another benefit is that you can quickly clean the hollow membranes on the go while reversing the filter. Highly recommended!

Hace meses compre este filtro porque el agua potable aquí donde vivo viene muy sucia, el color es como café claro y pues me da desconfianza, le agregaba desinfectante, pero el agua se ponía de color negro o rojizo, dejaba que se asentara, pero ya estaba cansada de esto, por ello decidí comprar este filtro, llevo algunos meses usandolo y la verdad me gusta porque si logra filtrar la mayoría del agua, es fácil de usar, los adaptadores ayudan a amoldar según el tipo de llave, yo la uso en una llave de jardín, aunque debo decir que si el agua esta muy sucia va a llegar un punto en el cual ya no va a seguir filtrando completamente, se pueden colar algunos residuos y mas si estos son muy finos, ya me ha pasado que el agua parece muy limpia y critalina, pero cuando se asienta queda un poco de residuos, pero a comparación de como estaba antes el agua el filtro me ha ayudado muchísimo, aunque yo uso el agua para lavar ropa y trastes no me da confianza al 100 % para consumirla por lo mismo que mencione antes Otro detalle es el retrolavado del filtro, yo uso una jeringa de 60 ml o una botella de 1 litro, pero aún así batallo para lavarlo ya que sale bastante sucia el agua y es cansado, intento que no queden residuos y que el agua salga limpia, pero igual siento que no queda limpio al 100, eso si solo lo uso 2 o 3 veces al mes cuando llega el agua y así lleno mis tambos de agua, realmente me gusto mucho y si en un futuro llega a dejar de ser útil, definitivamente comprare otro

First time we ordered this item, the delivery didn’t work out. However, the company responded quickly and worked this out to our satisfaction. Would definitively order from Sawyer again. Barbara Copes.
