Sawyer Mini Water Filter Review and Test - Good for Cape Town Drought? If Cape Town's water runs out during the coming summer we'll be looking for alternatives. One relatively cheap alternative is a Sawyer Mini Water Filter for around R475. Versus the LifeStraw this one is smaller and can even be screwed onto most plastic bottle tops (with 28mm) such as cold drink or water bottles. For hikers it is also handy to carry instead of heavier full water bottles, and will even fit in line with many hydration packs. The Sawyer Mini Water Filter is rated for an absolute filtration level of 0.1 Micron, and will remove particles, bacteria, protozoa, and cysts from source water. The Sawyer Mini Water Filter uses a cluster of micro fibrous tubes (Ultra Filtration). The water is drawn through the side walls of the hollow tubes, and out the small outlet holes, while the particles, bacteria, protozoa and cysts remain on the outer wall of the hollow fibre tubes. A proper backwashing can restore up to 98.5% of the filter’s flow rate. That means no expensive cartridges to replace.
