Sawyer SP140 water bottle at Walmart – Does it use the SP121 filter?

Emmett,

I got the sam bottle. I am not sure what the model # is. I have taken the filter apart and there is not model # listed on the filter itself. But according to the Sawyer site they are currently only using 1 filter the Sp121 and only 1 purifier.

I used this filter inline with my playpus hydration system. total weight of both was 5 ounces. I also use household bleach in a dropper that weighs .5 ounce. the bleach gets the small stuff and the filter get everything else.

This filter is hollow fiber so it will not remove chemicals that cause discolor or bad taste though. but I have not had any problems.

Emmett,

Having looked at the water bottle at Walmart and using the Sawyer filter for a few years….it looks the same as the inline filter.

As has been mentioned before, there are only two models of the Sawyer In Line Filter.

You just want to make sure that the filter in the Walmart Bottle has the same input and output connections found on the filter that is sold as a stand alone.

The Walmat price for the filter and bottle was really attractive….maybe slightly cheaper than the filter sold by itself at REI.

Thanks James and Tony, that was pretty much what I thought. It looks like Walmart convinced Sawyer to provide a more "mass consumption-friendly" product at an "everyday low price". I'll give it a shot and let you know what I find.
