Sweetwater Water Filter
After hiking or biking for hours, feeling parched, who wants to exert a lot of energy filtering water? No one, of course. That's what makes the Sweetwater filter really, well, sweet. It's pumping mechanism has a 4-to-1 mechanical advantage, so you won’t have to work to hard since the pumping is made easy and you can clean 1.25 liters a minute. Our research suggests it's simply one of the fastest pump-style filters available today. Each filter cartridge will clean up to 200 gallons, while eliminating 99.9999% of all waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of common protozoan parasites, such as giardia and even cryptosporidia. (We're not entirely sure what that is either, but it sure sounds horrible, doesn't it?). This model weighs only 11 ounces, and the pumping handle folds flat so storing it away is easy.
From independent research, we selected the Sweetwater Water Filter as a 3LUXE "Best Of". To see our other Portable Water Filters selections visit our Portable Water Filters Overview.
