Safety Harbor, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/14/2017 --The Sawyer line of innovative water filtration systems grows today with the launch of the Sawyer Select™ Filters and Purifiers.  The new line combines Sawyer's signature 0.1 micron absolute Hollow Fiber Membrane filter with a proprietary Foam membrane developed in partnership with the company Foamulations™ to remove virtually all contaminants found in wilderness water.

Advanced Filtration and Purification Made Easy. A combination of activated carbon and other proprietary ingredients are embedded inside the Foam membrane which creates a usable surface area significantly larger than traditional block or granule filters. In fact, the surface area is 4 times greater than any other absorbent technology on the market and 51 times greater than traditional carbon blocks. This results in higher removal rates of contaminants and faster flow rates with minimal effort and dwell time.
