2 Easy Mods for the Sawyer Squeeze Filter - Pre Filter & Carbon Element

2 Easy Mods for the Sawyer Squeeze Filter. Fitting a pre-filter to prolong the life of the filter, to reduce sediment and leaf matter. And a carbon element to help reduce harmful heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides etc. Also improves the "taste" of the water.
Ideal for backpackers, preppers and survivalists.
Utilises a 3/8" stainless steel meshed, dome washer (pre filter) and a Platypus, Gravity Works Carbon Element.

Great video Alan. We were taught in my Wilderness Medicine course that (and this is subjective to the individual) that water that still tastes bad after being treated can often be improved by adding one or two chewable vitamin C tabs. The ascorbic acid helps neutralize the bad taste. Others have suggested that the electrolyte powders can also help. Have a great weekend.
