My understanding is that you have to get the products that go to .02 to get rid of the viruses. Contact Sawyer directly if you want more clarification.

It was going to email it out to my distribution this evening...and I want to think through what the best route is before moving forward. Thank you! Please let me know all of the details on the fittings. Otherwise I will have to purchase ahead to do it myself to see if it is OK for the masses...Stephen and Lovell Nixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516277832203748252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1017720610698018588.post-87125075547409856882010-03-16T16:01:23.774-07:002010-03-16T16:01:23.774-07:00WOW!!

I was going to only get the price down to like $90 or so!!! Walmart kills that price! Thanks for the heads up.<br /><br />I wonder how effectively one could fabricate the parts to make it worth the time to figure it out...or if it would be better just to buy a bucket filter.Stephen and Lovell Nixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516277832203748252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1017720610698018588.post-22856929829085976612010-03-16T15:45:32.174-07:002010-03-16T15:45:32.174-07:00I talked to Sawyer directly and asked about the fi...I talked to Sawyer directly and asked about the filter in the SP135 and that in their purifier bucket of the 0.02 purification, the lady told me they were the same filter, million gallon type. I asked about the warranty and wondered why the discrepancy, she asked where I was looking, was it the Wal-mart site, she stated Wal-mart doesn't want to honor the warranty aspect...but for $59, I don't think you can go wrong and you can have the same solution as the bucket kit by buying a couple pvc fittings and the $59 bottle :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1017720610698018588.post-87570480409113052772010-02-14T22:22:27.906-08:002010-02-14T22:22:27.906-08:00Garrett...you know something really cool.

As a result I am doing a group order that is being picked up by multiple stakes. You played a part in what is sure to be HUNDREDS of families getting prepared with water filters...and those they might help.

I'm really impressed. I plan on buying 1 or 2 as soon as I can. It is small...lightweight...easy to assemble...get's down to viruses mechanically...and boasts being able to work for a million gallons.

They also make a water bottle top similar to the seychelle that get's down to .1 microns...but you are going to pay $35 or so more for just one bottle!Stephen and Lovell Nixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516277832203748252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1017720610698018588.post-27874287910555021792009-12-27T01:13:00.195-08:002009-12-27T01:13:00.195-08:00By the way...the above Sawyer filter (the one at R...By the way...the above Sawyer filter (the one at REI) that I mentioned in the above posting, ALSO filters to 0.02 micron so it completely removes all bacteria AND Viruses - most filters do not.Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00995530733187004612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1017720610698018588.post-3366626098015252292009-12-27T01:10:44.418-08:002009-12-27T01:10:44.418-08:00If you want a filter that lasts literally forever,...If you want a filter that lasts literally forever, I recommend this one:<br /><br />http://www.rei.com/product/781792<br /><br />I have two of these, and they are rated (at least by the manufacturer to ONE MILLION gallons...no that is not a joke). Once in a while you have to "backflush" it to clear it...but with a incredibly long life, this is a minor inconvenience.<br /><br />If you're looking for high capacity, and limited portability combined with low (LOW) cost:<br /><br />http://shop.monolithic.com/products/just-water-ceramic-drip-filter<br /><br />Just FYIGarretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00995530733187004612noreply@blogger.com
