When I bought the Sawyer, my research identified lots of reports of Sawyer bladders that did not hold up.
I have some titanium cookware made by Evernew, while there of course is no comparison between plastic bladders and titanium cookware, I can say that I am happy with the products that I have used from Evernew and I suspect that quality control is similar across product lines. Thus bought a pair of 2 liter bladders, one is labeled for pre-filtered water.
I hit the hardware store for various plastic hose for a gravity setup.
Some Sawyer users were saying I should use the Smartwater bottle instead of the syringe for backflushing, but for my first trip with that filter, I am bringing the syringe as suggested by the manufacturer.
Thanks for the positive comment.
