Sawyer TAP Faucet Filtration System (Blue) Faucet Water Filter

The Sawyer TAP Faucet Filtration System (Blue) is a lightweight, compact inline filter designed to turn contaminated tap water into safe drinking water directly from the source . It connects easily to standard faucets (17mm to 20mm), outdoor hose bibs, and some aerators, making it ideal for urban use, international travel, emergency kits, RVs, and campgrounds . The system uses a 0.1-micron absolute hollow fiber membrane to remove 99.99999% of bacteria (including E. coli and Salmonella), 99.9999% of protozoa (such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium), and 100% of microplastics, exceeding EPA recommendations . It is capable of filtering up to 500 gallons per day with no electricity or chemicals, and the filter can be repeatedly backwashed to restore flow rate . The kit includes a backwash adapter, threaded spigot adapter, dual threaded adapter, tap gauge, and a 2-foot extension hose for use with shallow sinks .
