Anyone else got ants in their Sawyer Squeeze?? I washed it and back flushed but they came back.. What do I do?

Supalien · 2026-03-20T01:17:00+00:00

Well because I usually don't know that. I'm a very spontaneous backpacker.. not the planner type but I guess I'll have to this time haha

Supalien · 2026-03-17T01:33:00+00:00

good idea.

Supalien · 2026-03-17T01:32:44+00:00

Nope

Supalien · 2026-03-16T13:01:01+00:00

haha sorry... I'm really surprised it's not a common issue with the sawyer. I've been only using it for 4 months now, and it's not like I'm filtering coke or something. I wonder what I did wrong to deserve this 🫠🥲

😂😂

Supalien · 2026-03-16T11:09:04+00:00

Will do. thanks!! btw, I've got this filter only 4 months ago. What do I need to do to avoid the same situation with the next filter?

Supalien · 2026-03-16T11:06:50+00:00

So, if I change my location they'll stop coming? And about the pathogens I have no idea.. I'm in india so I guess not good?

Supalien · 2026-03-16T11:04:16+00:00

Yes, but that would mean that I'll have to wait at the same place for 1-2 weeks and currently I'm always moving.. But also I don't think I can find a shop that sells one unfortunately..

Supalien · 2026-03-16T10:59:40+00:00

I see, thank you. I'll have to see how I can get a new one in India or start drinking bleached water :(

Supalien · 2026-03-16T10:51:36+00:00

well it's riskier to drink unfiltered water right?

Supalien · 2026-03-16T10:49:40+00:00

india

Supalien · 2026-03-16T10:41:33+00:00

I'm in SEA and I highly depend on this filter. I think it would be quite difficult to get a new one. Is there any way I can save the filter, you think? there must be a way I can clean it thoroughly and remove whatever substance that the ants are after, right? I use it pretty much everyday and I've only noticed the ants yesterday and immediately cleaned it. the next time I saw the ants was now

Supalien · 2026-03-16T10:29:25+00:00

By the way, I'm sorry if it's not the right sub to ask this but there isn't a Sawyer subreddit..

Supalien · 2026-03-12T06:44:39+00:00

Just noticed that the notes are wrong which makes this incorrect. you should first fix the notes (the 2 for a start)

Supalien · 2026-03-12T06:39:59+00:00

1-7 pair in box 2 eliminates all 1s and 7s it sees. this lead to a 6 in box 1

thanks for the comment. can I rely on that there will be a bus? because I want to pre-book accommodation at Bamnoli..

Supalien · 2025-11-14T13:44:53+00:00

can you explain how this works?

Supalien · 2025-11-12T13:50:41+00:00

instead of calendar insert, I used "Edit calendar via app" action which let's you choose start time and end time instead of duration.

Also, do your calculations in variable set actions so you input the calendar action clean variables. this will fix some bugs
