Has anyone made a pre filter for their sawyer mini? Am thinking something to keep out the big lumpy bits when filling the pouch ready to filter it?
Thanks

Is there a way to attach something to the outflow that could hold some Activated Carbon?
I have a Katadyn Combi but it's quite a beast and still needs extra Virus protection to be 100%. I'm thinking a small AC attachment for the Sawyer mini would kill 2 birds while leaving Virus filtering an option while in a still very compact package?
Isn't this exactly what a Millbank (or similar) bag does? Filters out the large (by bug standards!) bits of detritus in the water before putting into filtering system, whatever it is...
With the sawyer I can fill up the pouch with water to filter and filter it on the go direct into my mouth...
Even with the best filters in the world, it makes me cringe to think of someone drinking directly from the device.
Most products on the market are rejected for military/aircrew use due to potential catastrophic failure points, or are not idiot-proof, or simply because there is no 'fail to safe' or any form of contact period or soak period.
I've looked these Sawyer filters and while they look good on paper, there are too many in-use points where things could horribly wrong
Or could it be that I simply haven't given it a chance yet?
Put a peice of nylon pop sock over the container being filled, it will filter before going in, so clean to filter out.
I notice how most seem to concentrate on pre filtering on the filter, not prefiltering on the filling of the pouch that you then filter
What concerns do you have? My current and the only issue that I perceive with my gravity-fed system, is how to isolate the dirty from the clean end during transportation...
I can pm you the email address of the MD of Sawyer Europe if you want, he seems like a very pleasant chap, and was happy to discuss my requirements.
