![]() ![]() How much difference with the extra 0.0999% of protozoa and 0.00009% of bacteria present in water filtered by the QuickDraw make? I have no idea. The Platypus QuickDraw removes 99.9% of protozoa (that’s three fewer 9s) and 99.9999% of bacteria (one fewer 9). This translates into the Sawyer Squeeze removing 99.9999% of protozoa and 99.99999% of bacteria. This can also be expressed as one-thousandth of a millimeter (0.001 mm), or approximately 0.000039 in. A micrometer is one-millionth of a meter (1×10 −6). What’s a micron? It’s a micrometer – yes, the metric system, America. If you were paying close attention to the table above, you may have noted that the Sawyer Squeeze has a filter pore size of 0.1 microns vs the QuickDraw’s 0.2 microns. The Platypus QuickDraw can either be shaken back and forth (in clean water) or you can press a bottle tight against the top of the QuickDraw and force water through in reverse (similar to using a sport cap with the Squeeze). The Sawyer Squeeze comes with a plunger for backflushing but it can also be attached to a sport cap (the nozzles that some Smartwater, LIFEWTR, and likely other store-bought water bottles come with) and backflushed once you remove the Squeeze’s white cap. They are nearly identical in size and circumference, but the Sawyer Squeeze is slightly longer and girthier than the Platypus QuickDraw.īoth the Squeeze and the QuickDraw can be backflushed in the field. They both can be attached to external reservoirs to filter dirty water and they’re both compatible with most store-bought 28mm PET soda/water bottles (e.g. ![]() The Platypus QuickDraw and the Sawyer Squeeze are both exceptionally lightweight hollow-fiber membrane water filters with ABS plastic housings that remove bacteria and protozoa (e.g. Shake or any flexible water bottle w/ 28mm opening Best Ultralight Freestanding 1-Person Tents. ![]()
