>>675434>Thread pops up immediately after a Sawyer debunking thread where shills got bodiedThe last thread was anything but a Sawyer debunking thread. The vast majority of postings said that the Sawyer mini was undoubtedly the best filter (due to many different reasons). There was actually only one or two Lifestraw shills posting in the thread and their arguments kept blathering on about a study that's summed up in this pdf:
http://whconference.unc.edu/files/2014/10/murray.pdfThe study however is complete BS. They didn't attempt to use anything even remotely resembling scientific method. They basically handed out 200 Sawyer Point One filters (not Sawyer Mini) to a bunch of illiterate Honduran cave people then went back 2 years later and tested 6 filters. The had no idea how much water was filtered during that time. They had no idea what the quality or origin of the water source was. They had no idea if the users correctly backwashed the filters with clean water. One filter showed signs of burst fibers, suggesting that compressed air might've been used to clean it. Pic related is a slide from their PDF where they actually admit that their study is fatally flawed.
