No.  Sawyer Hollow Fibers are much stronger than those used by Katadyn so backwashing a BeFree with a Sawyer backwashing plunger will more than likely damage the fibers.

Non.

Pousantaj yo koule nan filtè yo ak piblikatè yo detèmine pa yon konbinezon de varyab:

1. Head pressure (The distance from the top of the water to the filter)
2. How clean the filter is
3. The filter itself (there are slight variations between filters)The PointONE Filter with a 1 foot hose (Model SP180) attached to a standard five gallon bucket at sea level is capable of filtering up to 295 gallons (1117 liters) of water per day.
4. If you increase the head pressure by either lengthening the hose, attaching the filter to a larger container like a 55 gallon drum, or constantly keep the bucket full so the top of the water is as high as possible, this will increase the flow rate.
5. Tap Filter: up to 500 Gallons per day

No, it is not.  We recommend backwashing and air drying the filter before storing.

We recommend routine maintenance to maximize the filter’s flow rate and longevity.  By regularly backwashing the filter with more pressure than when filtering water, you can restore up to 98.5% of the filter’s flow rate.

Li se anjeneral pa pouch la ki lakòz fwit la, li se anjeneral filtre a. Swa filtre a pa te konplètman mouye nan premye pwen nan itilize oswa twòp presyon te aplike pouse pandan pwosesis filtraj. Asire ou ke ou tou dousman peze dlo a nan filtè a, bay fib yo filtre tan konplètman satire. Pousantaj koule inisyal la ka sanble ralanti, men yo pral ogmante kòm fib vin mouye. Retounen Flushing ProcessBack kole filtre ou (pi bon ak pi souvan) lè l sèvi avèk sereng ou. Ou pa ka fè mal fib yo filtre, kidonk tanpri dwe Fòse nan pwosesis lakou retounen ou. Lè w ap itilize sereng lan, pa dwe dou, li pral sèlman fòme chemen rezistans olye pou yo soufle soti patikilye yo ki ka bloke nan filtè ou. Filtre AplikasyonDo pa sou sere filtè a sou pouch la. Plis pase sere ka lakòz bag yo o-entegre nan fil yo oswa lojman nan ouvèti a nan pouch la. Si bag la soti nan kote ou ka pa gen yon sele sere ak dlo ta ka koule soti anba a nan filtre a. Tanpri gade videyo nou an sou Konsèy Filtre Enpòtan yo pi byen konprann ki jan yo pran swen sache peze ou. Jiskaske ou aprann balans pafè a nan fòs ak netwayaj, nou rekòmande pote yon pouch backup avèk ou sou vwayaj ou. Torn PouchesBefore pouse yo kite faktori a, yo se 100% lè-teste. Pandan ke yo ap goumen, pous sa yo pa enstriktib. Yo kriye akoz twòp presyon yo te aplike. Sa rive lè dlo fòse nan filtre a twò vit oswa lè filtre ou bezwen netwayaj, ki kreye plis rezistans. Pa queze pouse a difisil oswa pote pous la. Pouse yo pa kouvri anba garanti a.

Filtè a Tap se opsyon dirijan nou an pou kay ak RV itilize.

Seri a Chwazi te fèt pou itilize ak dlo trè kontamine.

Filtè™ a pwen gen yon gwosè 0.1 mikwòb absoli po ak Se poutèt sa pral retire tout bakteri ak protozoa tankou Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Kolera ak Typhoid. PointZERO DE Purifier gen yon gwosè™ mikwo-02 mikwòb absoli ak Se poutèt sa pral retire tout viris tankou epatit A nan adisyon a bakteri ak protozoa.

No.  The silicon bottle is hard to reseal if you loosen the black reducer cap. This is why we recommend only filling through the smaller opening where the Micro Squeeze™ filter attaches. If you take the reducer cap off you will need to get it to seal again before using it. Without a good seal, unfiltered water can leak out and could contaminate your drinking water.

Yes. For threaded faucets, we highly recommend using the Threaded Spigot Adapter to make sure the filter pops off of the tap before the fibers are damaged from excessive pressure.  Excessive pressure can absolutely damage the fibers.

Sawyer filters have very strong fibers (see Fiber Strength Study) and are capable of handling up to 20 PSI (Pounds Per Square Inch) of pressure.  When clean, Sawyer Filters only need 1 to 2 PSI of pressure to flow freely.  As the fibers collect particulates, the pressure to move water through will increase as the particulates create barriers to water flow.Sawyer pouches are designed to handle up to 7 PSI of pressure before bursting. This in most cases allows for a large amount of water to be used before filter cleaning is necessary. Therefore the pouches will not burst so long as the filters are reasonably clean.  However most people are capable of generating much more than 7 PSI of pressure and so if the filter is not clean, the pouches are more likely to burst when squeezing too hard.  The more particulates in the water the sooner a filter will clog and need to be cleaned.Sawyer’s new light weight soft pouches offer the same bursting strength of 7 PSI as the heavier legacy pouches.  The new light weight pouches are just as strong as the thicker legacy pouches but are easier to squeeze because the softer material offers less resistance.  With a lower pouch resistance the 7 PSI burst limit is reached more easily.To protect your pouch – maintain a clean filter and be aware of pressure build up against a dirty filter.

Adsorpsyon se adezif atòm, iyon, oswa molekil ki soti nan yon gaz, likid, oswa fonn solid nan yon sifas. Pwosesis sa a kreye yon fim nan adsorate a sou sifas la nan adsorbent la.

The Sawyer filter removes taste that comes from bacteria, dirt, and green matter.

Chemicals
The Sawyer filter does NOT remove iron, sulfur, other chemicals, or simple compounds. Taste can be masked by using flavor additives like Gatorade or crystal light (filter needs to be cleaned immediately after using them).

Heavy Metals
The standard Sawyer filters are not made with charcoal. While other portable filters have charcoal, they lack in amount of media and adequate dwell time. Therefore, they only remove small amounts of heavy metals, pesticides, etc.

Nou rekòmande pousantaj filtre ou lè ou koule pousantaj kòmanse diminye, anvan depo pwolonje, ak lè ou pare yo kòmanse lè l sèvi avèk filtre ou ankò. Retounen filtre ou apre depo se yon bon fason pou re-mouye filtè yo ak retabli pousantaj koule a anvan ou itilize.

Non, nou pa rekòmande pou tache filtè dirèkteman nan spigots oswa fasèt. Filtè yo fèt pou okipe jiska 20 psi nan presyon ak tache filtre a dirèkteman nan yon sous dlo ak yon presyon dlo ki pi wo ka domaje fib yo.

Frekans netwayaj la depann de ki jan sal dlo a ye. Avèk dlo relativman klè, backwash ka sèlman nesesè chak 1,000 galon lè nou kontan ak trè boul oswa dlo labou, dlo tounen ka obligatwa chak 10 galon. Men, backwahing se yon pwosesis trè senp epi pran sèlman yon minit.
