Sawyer S3 Virus Replacement Filter Element

S3 Virus Replacement Filter Element The S3 Replacement Filter Element fits all Sawyer Squeeze models including the Mini, Micro and Squeeze. This filter element creates a second stage that reduces heavy metals, chemicals, viruses and more. Plus improve taste and odour. Adsorption filtration is the process in which molecules adhere to the surface of the adsorbent foam membrane. This highly advanced filtration and purification process, combined with a Sawyer 0.1 micron absolute filter will ensure that any and all particulate or pathogens above 0.1 microns are filtered out of your water, including bacteria, protozoa, cysts, dirt and sediment. Features Reduces chemicals down to 0.5 parts per billion (up to 40 times lower than the EPA’s maximum recommended level) and reduce pesticides down to 0.01 parts per billion (400 times lower than the EPA’s maximum) Compatible with Sawyer Mini, Sawyer Micro Squeeze, Sawyer Squeeze, Sawyer All in One Off Grid Group Kit ​Filters out 99.99% of viruses and reduces heavy metals such as copper, arsenic, and mercury down to 0.5 parts per billion (up to 260 times lower than the EPA’s maximum) Only 10 seconds to treat water ​Specifications Includes: 1x Virus S3 Foam System with Silicon Bottle and Reducer Cap, Instructions 0.6L (20oz) bottle Length: 275mm Width: 64mm Weight: 220 grams Longevity: 400 refills (240 litres) (120 days @ 2 Litres per day) How to use:​ Step 1: Fill the bottle to the Max Fill line, then screw a filter (not included) back onto the bottle. Step 2: Squeeze the bottle in an alternating motion for 10 seconds. Step 3: Drink directly from the filter or dispense water into another container. ​Storage: You can store the bottle with either a Sawyer Squeeze filter or included white cap screwed on top of the bottle. The proprietary ingredients in the foam will make sure that your foam does not grow bacteria or develop an odour. Please do not compress these systems for long term storage. Store your bottles fully expanded to ensure that you do not inadvertently shorten their life.  If you want to dry out your bottle for packing weight reasons (it can save approximately one ounce), store in a dry room with the lid removed and the moisture will eventually evaporate out. Be aware that after you dry the bottle out, your first bottle will produce much less water than normal since our foam is hydrophilic (meaning it attracts water) and will want to hold onto some no matter how hard you squeeze. Repeat steps for first use when you want to use your filter again. (SP4321)
