The Sawyer company, originating from the USA, has been offering the best and most technologically advanced solutions for products designed to protect against the sun, insects, and water filtration since 1984. Sawyer specializes in addressing the two largest causes of human mortality worldwide: poor water quality and bites from infected insects, particularly in developing countries.

In 1999, the company acquired permethrin clothing repellents, used by the American military and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide. Sawyer also collaborates with the World Health Organization (WHO). In particular, the company has built a strong position in the water filtration sector thanks to its filtration technology based on kidney dialysis. The Mini filter became an instant hit for its simplicity, compactness, and large capacity.

Global use of Sawyer products

Sawyer's revolutionary technology has also been tested and verified by the UN and is currently used in more than 70 countries worldwide. These filters are so strong that they cannot actually be used for kidney dialysis because, with these properties, they would remove beneficial particles from the human bloodstream. They have been tested in the field by many companies, with professionals from various organizations solving the global water crisis for hundreds of thousands of people worldwide using Sawyer filters. With the most advanced filtration technology on the market, we guarantee 100% safety of filtered water. All Sawyer filters with hollow fiber membranes are small, portable, easy to use, reliable, affordable, and can last a lifetime without needing replacement.

The Sawyer filter removes all the taste arising from bacteria, dirt from algae, or blue-green algae. The Sawyer filter does not remove iron, sulfur, or other chemicals or simple compounds. Their taste can be regulated using flavoring additives (the filter must be immediately cleaned after their use).

Smaller than small technology

Sawyer's patented water filters consist of tiny U-shaped micro-tubes that allow water to reach their core through miniature micropores of precisely 0.1 or 0.02 microns in size. Impurities are captured on the tube edges, while the decontaminated water flows freely through the filter. The high number of these tiny tubes and their specific surface allow the filter one of the fastest available flow rates worldwide. This very fast flow rate allows these filters to be easily used directly at the location where they are needed, eliminating the need to store water—storing water in improper conditions is one of the main causes of contaminated water worldwide.

The company also offers a range of complementary products to its filters, such as protective cases for water filters, serving to reduce the risk of filter freezing, mechanical damage, and retention of water droplets dripping down the filter walls. It is also possible to purchase water bags, suction tubes, mouthpieces, solid and collapsible bottles, faucet adapters, and many more items for the water filters.
