Brand new Sawyer filter below freezing

[goathunter]

Do you think Sawyer tests their filters at the factory? My brand new one I bought on sale last fall, to replace the one I accidentally boiled, which replaced one before that I actually froze, spent the winter in my garage with periods below freezing. And this paranoia creeps into my head - did Sawyer test, leave it wet, the membrane froze, and is now compromised?

lol. I wouldn’t worry about that what if at all. There has to be a good amount of water in them to freezer and become useless.

shake it out to see if there was water in it?

I’m sure that brand new ones were never tested.

I’m sure you are good. If super paranoid - buy a backup. They are super lightweight (as you know)

And given your track record - sounds like you need an extra in the pack and the truck lol

Just bought one myself for “emergency H2O purposes”. Hope it works OR works when I need it.
