Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I used this for the first time on a PCT thru hike. Its simple and effective. I never got sick.....at least not from the water.. I think.. anyways Its not always necessary to filter water, honestly some of the the water i drank on the PCT was delicious pure spring never been messed with by man crystal clear ice cold deliciousness that didnt need filtering. But some of it was disgusting dead animals rotting in stagnant cistern vileness. This is when youll be glad you had your sawyer. I started with the MInI sawyer, dont bother, this is better in every way, plus my mini broke in the first month. The flow sucks on the mini. If i had one suggestion that seems to help a lot of if youre going to be using this a lot, is go to a hardware store and buy a new O ring with a mesh filter on it,couple bucks, they use em for kitchen faucet i think. This will add ANOTHER layer of filtering BEFORE water reaches your sawyer, meaning youll have to clean your sawyer LESS often, not to mention DOUBLE RAINBOW/filtration. Youre welcome.
