Nice video, I have searched a lot of videos on YouTube for how to care for and store filters, but only this channel tells me clearly without yapping

Really appreciate the straightforward tutorial with no yapping. This was helpful.

Thank you! This is 'priceless' know how to avoid losing perfectly good filters due to mildew, etc.

Nice video. Used this filter this past weekend and wanted to know how to store for the next trip.

Thanks Jason, I too clean my Sawyer filter that way, always wondered if I was doing it right. I also reprime my filter after long term storage, that way if it doesn't work I have time to fix it or purchase new one. Thanks again!

Awesome... I don't even use a Sawyer filter. Still watched, 👍, and commented. Great advice on how to clean a filter.

Molly here. I know Tim commented on this video a while back, but since he's a loser and got his own channel (I kid, I kid..) I wanted to drop a comment. This season I am switching from my Katadyn to the Sawyer, so thank you for this info. I really appreciate it!

A normal water bottle thread on both sides would be much more convenient for cleaning and filling up other containers with water, and if the have to need a luer lock syringe for back flush, they could put a adapter in the package for that.

[jessepatch]

they say to run some of the bleach water through then close the cap for a while

Hey there :) my sawyer mini has a strong moldy taste and even after backflushing its still there. You think using the bleach is going to solve this or do i have to toss it? Greetzz :)

[gregorysharkey]

What's that special cap on the bottle of hot water? (Does Sawyer sell them now?)

[reidtillery]

The capful that Sawyer is talking about is THEIR cap on the filter, NOT the cap on the bleach bottle, which can differ greatly in size from the Sawyer filter cap. The understanding I have is to NEVER put more than a 2-percent solution of bleach through your filter because this will damage the fibers. The way I see it, this means no more than 20 milliliters of bleach in a liter of water. To be on the safe side, I'd use a lot less than that, if I used any at all. It seems to me if the filter is good and dry, you don't need bleach to prevent mold. Cheers and best wishes.

Is there something you have to do before the first use? My filter is really slow and I have to squeeze the bottle quite a lot to force the water through. Not sure if that's normal. I have experience with a bigger sawyer filter and had no issues with water flow there.

Never disinfected mine. Glad to start tho.

Can vinegar be used for getting rid of the calcium and similar stuff to clean out and I don't think it can filter chlorine in the water and similar stuff 🤔
