This webinar investigates hollow fiber membrane squeeze filters commonly used by backcountry enthusiasts for water filtration. These filters, including the Sawyer Squeeze and Katadyn BeFree, are praised for their portability and efficacy against bacteria and protozoa. However, they face challenges like susceptibility to clogging, risk of damage from freezing, and some efficacy limitations. We also discuss different configurations, parts of the filter, and operational issues (and how to resolve them).
