Bucket Adapter Kits
We have made it as simple as it gets. No more digging wells if there is a water source, no constructing sand filters an no more purification chemicals. Families are able to construct and adapt their filter in literally minutes to locally found containers. The kit includes everything you need to attach the filter to any plastic bucket or container. (Bucket not included)
- Obtain a clean bucket or plastic container
- Use the hole cutter to drill a hole 1.5 inches from the bottom of the bucket (you can do this by hand).
- Screw the connector, hose and filter onto the bucket.
- Fill the bucket with water from any source, lower the filter head below the water line, and let gravity do the rest.
- Watch the installation video
Fast Flow- This is a POINT OF USE SYSTEM. Since there is such a high flow rate, this eliminates the need to store water which reduces the chances of water being contaminated after it is filtered. The only external force required for the system to function is GRAVITY. The flow rate of a filter is determined by a combination of:
• Head pressure (The distance from the top of the water to the filter)
• Altitude (The higher the altitude, the slower the flow rate)
• How clean the filter is
• The filter itself (there are slight variations between filters)

Long Lasting- Maintenance of this filter is very simple. When the filter starts to slow down or clog, simply back wash it with clean water using the syringe provided in the kit. Since the filters can continuously be backwashed and re-used, they have an extremely long life expectancy. The ease of operating this system makes it self-sustainable and dependable.
Multiple Applications- Sawyer filters and purifiers make water so clean and accessible that people will not only use the filtered/purified water for drinking, but also for cleaning, bathing, cooking, watering plants and more.
Natural Disasters- Currently, Sawyer filters are being used in Haiti, Chile, Pakistan, Brazil, Japan, and Indonesia to provide safe water to millions of people.
Sawyer filters offer a fast, efficient and sustainable solution to clean water in the event of a natural disaster. No electricity, chemicals or technical training is required. Not only will these filters provide immediate relief after the disaster, the filters will still be functioning years and years down the road.
Personal Use
Don’t trust the tap or bottle water abroad? This Sawyer Squeeze Filter screws directly on to most threaded water bottles as well as the reusable pouches included with the filter. You can either squeeze the pouch and filter water into a different container/water bottle or drink directly from the filter. This lightweight filter (only 3 ounces) is perfect for traveling.
Larger Capacity Filter
Get up to 5,000 gallons of clean water for your home, school, hospital, office building, etc. with our new 10” filter. This unit easily attaches to your indoor plumbing and removes the harmful contaminants before they reach your faucet. The 10 “ filter can be used with household or commercial building pressure (60psi) as well as with very low pressures and gravity feed applications. This unit is available pre-plumbed with brass or PVC and includes a regulator which allows you to safely clean the filter by backwashing it at an exact pressure.
Ingenuity in the Filed
Our partners in the field have shown great ingenuity when it comes to finding ways to get higher volumes of water using our filters.
Agua Con Bendiciones rigged up this system for a school in Honduras. It is providing clean water to 800 students per day.
International Childcare Ministries attached multiple filters to a larger container to provide water to a school in Haiti immeditately after the earthquake.
