Portable and lightweight, the Sawyer water filter is a great option for water purification while travelling or for emergencies. The Sawyer Tap Filter is easy to use and filters up to 1,893 litres (500 gallons) of unpurified water per day to an incredibly clean 0.1-micron standard. A portable water filtering tap can be a useful addition to your emergency preparedness kit, providing clean, drinkable water in challenging situations. Simply attach the Sawyer tap water filter to a standard faucet or a hose bib spigot, turn on the water, and filter into your clean container.

The small, lightweight tap water filter features a 0.1-micron absolute filter that removes 99.99999% of bacteria (Salmonella, cholera, and E. coli), 99.9999% of protozoa (cryptosporidium and giardia), and 100% of microplastics, exceeding EPA recommendations for removal rates. The Sawyer Tap Water Filter is a great choice for relief agencies or support groups travelling to areas where the water source is compromised or in question, or when you need ultra-pure particle and bacteria filtration. It is also great for use at campgrounds, festivals and events, in caravans and camper trailers, and for domestic and international travel.

Chemicals, electricity, and batteries are not required.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Sawyer Tap Water Filter

Will the Tap Filter make my water taste better?
- It may improve taste by removing pathogens and particulates, but its primary purpose is to ensure safe drinking water.

What is the shelf life of the Tap Filter?
- When stored in a cool, dry place away from UV exposure, it can last 10+ years.

Will the Tap Filter fit my faucet?
- The adapters fit most standard faucets worldwide, but compatibility isn't guaranteed. If unsure, send Sawyer photos and measurements of your tap for assessment.

How long does the Tap Filter last in use?
- It can filter over 1,893 litres (500 gallons) per day and, with proper maintenance, lasts 10+ years.

What if the Tap Filter is exposed to freezing weather?
- If unused, freezing won’t damage it. However, if wet, ice expansion can compromise its fibres, allowing pathogens through. If exposed to freezing after use, replacement is recommended.

The included gauge does not fit my faucet, but the Tap Filter does. Is it safe to use?
- Yes! If possible, share your tap specs with Sawyer for potential adapter improvements. Just ensure water pressure stays below 40 psi to avoid fibre damage.
