Micro Squeeze Water Filter

Enjoy safe, clean drinking water wherever you go with the ultra-compact, lightweight, reusable Sawyer Micro Squeeze Water Filtration System. Ideal for backcountry adventures, camping, domestic and international travel, emergency preparedness, or even everyday office use, this tiny filter packs powerful performance into the palm of your hand.

Weighing just 52 g (2 ounces), the Micro Squeeze removes 99.99999% of bacteria, including Salmonella, cholera, and E. coli, and 99.9999% of protozoa, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium—exceeding EPA recommendations. It also filters out 100% of microplastics, giving you peace of mind wherever you are.

Attach the Micro Squeeze to the included 1-litre (32-ounce) reusable Squeeze Pouch, drink directly with the included straw, connect to hydration pack tubing (sold separately), or screw it onto standard 28 mm thread bottles. The included 950 ml pouch features a redesigned gusset for easy filling and stability. Its durable, soft material ensures it can withstand rugged outdoor conditions.

The 0.1-micron absolute filter uses micro-fibrous tubing technology similar to medical dialysis. Water passes through the side walls of the tubes, trapping harmful bacteria and protozoa on the outer walls, so every drop is safe to drink. Each Micro Squeeze is individually tested three times and rated for up to 378,500 litres (100,000 gallons).

Keep Your Filter Flowing
Restore your Sawyer filter’s flow rate by backflushing with clean water using the included syringe. Push water through the filter until it runs clear — this typically takes around three backflushing cycles. For stubborn blockages, soak the filter in warm water first; a small amount of vinegar can help dissolve mineral build‑up.
