Product Description
Great for use in urban and rural locations, during boil alerts or in other emergencies when safe drinking water is compromised, the lightweight TAP Water Filter from Sawyer ensures access to clean drinking water. It's an ideal component to add to your emergency preparedness kit for use during natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, fires, and earthquakes. Simply attach the filter to a standard faucet tap or to a hose bib spigot, turn on the water, and filter into your clean container. The TAP can be used to filter up to 500 gallons per day to an incredibly clean 0.1-micron standard. The small lightweight TAP features a 0.1-micron absolute filter that removes 99.99999% of bacteria (Salmonella, Cholera, Leptospirosis, E. coli), 99.9999% of protozoa (Cryptosporidium and Giardia), and 100% of microplastics — exceeding EPA recommendations for removal rates (independent testing laboratory Hydration, LLC.; microbiological report S05-03). The Sawyer TAP Water Filter is a great choice for relief agencies or support groups traveling to areas where the water source is compromised or in question, or when you need ultra-pure particle and bacteria filtration. It's also great for use at campgrounds, festivals, events, in RVs, and for domestic and international travel. Chemicals, electricity, and batteries are not required. The inline filter fits tap size 17mm to 20mm (11/16" to 3/4"); hose bibs (garden hose spigot); and some (not all) faucet aerators. Included with the Sawyer TAP filter is a backwash adapter, threaded spigot adapter, dual threaded adapter, tap gauge, and a 2-foot-long extension hose for use in a shallow sink. Sawyer Products has offered the best, most technologically advanced solutions for protection against sun, bugs, water, and injuries – everything from first aid kits developed for wilderness to point-of-use water filters that filter contaminated water to levels cleaner than U. S. bottled water.

Easy Filtering for Boil Alerts
Perfect for adding to your disaster preparedness kit to ensure access to clean water during emergencies, the Squeeze TAP Filter is great for removing harmful pathogens from residential water when boil alerts are issued.
It’s ideal for use during natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, fires, and earthquakes.
Recreational Hydration
Hitting the road? The TAP Filter provides pocket-sized peace of mind for all questionable sources while camping, traveling in RVs, attending festivals, and more.
Simply attach the filter to a hose bib faucet at a campground or to your RV's faucet and filter into a clean container.
International Travel
The ultra-compact and lightweight Sawyer TAP Filter is perfect for packing when traveling internationally.
The TAP Filter helps ensure clean drinking water in areas where contaminated domestic water needs filtering before drinking or cooking.
Sawyer's International Mission
Sawyer believes everyone deserves access to clean water — from hikers in the backcountry to indigenous people groups in the remotest corners of the world.
For over 10 years, Sawyer has been working with a variety of charities and churches who are on a mission to make a long-lasting impact in the lives of those around the world without access to clean drinking water.
High Performance Water Filtration
Hollow Fiber Membrane
Sawyer’s water filters are comprised of tiny hollow fiber membranes that allow water to enter their core through tiny micro-pores.
Thicker fiber walls combined with a smaller inner diameter make Sawyer fibers 75% stronger* than typical hollow fiber membranes, giving you a fast flow and enabling the filter to be continually backwashed forcefully to restore up to 98% of the original flow rate.
* Clean Water Institute of Calvin University; July, 2018
0.1 Absolute Micron Filtering
Each Sawyer water filter features 0.1 micron absolute filtration, meaning there is no pore size larger than 0.1 micron in size.
This makes it nearly impossible for microplastics, harmful bacteria, protozoa, or cysts like E. coli, Giardia, Vibrio cholerae, and Salmonella typhi (which cause Cholera and Typhoid) to pass through.
Fiber Protection
Sawyer's hollow fiber membranes are fully encased and sealed to keep them protected. When fibers are not enclosed, physical damage of exposed fibers could allow harmful pathogens to pass through.
Tested 3 Times
Every Sawyer filter is performance tested three separate times during the manufacturing process for your protection.
Testing occurs after the fiber element construction and twice after casing assembly to ensure no harmful pathogens leak through the sealed case or internal O-rings.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2023Pattern Name: Water FiltrationVerified PurchaseSawyer makes some great filtration products. I've tried several other Sawyer models (Micro, Mini, Select) and filter brands (Katadyn, Platypus, MSR) and the "full size" Squeeze filter, combined with a generic 2L plastic water bottle, is still the most reliable water filtration system for backpackers who are weight conscious. Sure, there are other brands, or other Sawyer models that weigh less or boast higher flow rates, but 10 years later, this is still my go-to filter.
Pros: Widely available and reasonably priced wherever you're traveling to hike in the US. Easy to use and maintain, adaptable, and has a suitable flow rate.
Cons: Be careful not to let it freeze up. The mylar squeeze bags are garbage. It's better to attach the filter directly to a 2L bottle or pick up a Vecto wide-mouth storage bag from CNOC, thread the filter onto the bag and squeeze filtered water into a 2L bottle. This is not ideal for group use due to the flow rate, but it can be set up as a gravity filter from a large storage bag at camp.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2022Pattern Name: Water FiltrationVerified PurchaseI live kinda remotely so I keep a backup water supply just in case I lose my well or electricity to run the well pump. My daily water tastes fine as long as it goes through my treating system. But lose that and the taste is not the greatest.
I’ve used Sawyer filters for years for backpacking and camping. But this one allows you to collect a lot of water in a short period of time. You don’t have to worry about bacteria, E Coli, salmonella giardia, etc.
If you keep up with the news, we are now drinking and eating micro plastics as well as the “forever chemicals” (PFAs). Sawyer takes care of the micro plastics but not the PFAs, nor heavy metals, arsenic, lead, much less taste and odor.
You really need a carbon filter to take care of all of that crap. So I buy the Platypus Carbon Element here on Amazon and place it inline but downstream of the Sawyer filter. (See photo as example of setup)
What you get is some of the best tasting water you’ve ever had. You can forget about buying bottled water anymore. I highly recommend this setup to anyone and everyone.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2024Pattern Name: Water FiltrationVerified PurchaseI recently bought this for my trip to mexico. I went to a number of hostels and the filter fits most of the taps that I was exposed to. I find it easier to use the filter without the adapters. It may not be the right thing to do and may wear the product faster, but that is what I found.

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2024Pattern Name: Water FiltrationVerified PurchaseHace unos años, conocí estos filtros por Motoroad Angels, pues estabamos en una campaña en un lugar alejado. Me parecieron lo máximo. Hoy estoy viviendo en un lugar donde el agua no es potable y este filtro ha sido la mejor solución. Lo super recomiendo. Debería ser parte de nuestro kit de viaje (en caso de llegar a necesitarlo).

5.0 out of 5 stars No tenía fé, pero si es un muy buen filtro
Pattern Name: Water FiltrationVerified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
Otro detalle es el retrolavado del filtro, yo uso una jeringa de 60 ml o una botella de 1 litro, pero aún así batallo para lavarlo ya que sale bastante sucia el agua y es cansado, intento que no queden residuos y que el agua salga limpia, pero igual siento que no queda limpio al 100, eso si solo lo uso 2 o 3 veces al mes cuando llega el agua y así lleno mis tambos de agua, realmente me gusto mucho y si en un futuro llega a dejar de ser útil, definitivamente comprare otro

5.0 out of 5 stars Tolles Produkt
Pattern Name: Water FiltrationVerified PurchaseIch habe den Filter nun seit Monaten im Einsatz, weil ein Hochwasser unseren Hausbrunnen verunreinigt hat. Funktioniert super, habe schon fast 2000 Liter gefiltert. Bei regelmäßigem Rückspülen bleibt die Durchflussleistung erhalten.
Kleiner Tipp: Man sollte den Filter vor dem Rückspülen mit Gefühl ausklopfen, dann lösen sich die Partikel darin besser.
