Design Specifications

Sawyer PointONE filters are hollow fiber membrane water filters. No filter pore sizes exceed 0.1 micron, which prevent harmful microplastics, bacteria, protozoa, and cysts from permeating the filter. In all filters, the fibers are fully encased to protect them from damage. Several different kits are available for purchase that use the PointOne filter; such as the bucket adaptor kit and the 1-Gallon Gravity Filtration System. The filter may vary in size based on which product or kit is purchased, but all use the PointOne filtration technology.
