Is there a screw-on male-to-male adapter for the Sawyer Squeeze that allows an Evernew or Sawyer bladder connected to filter's output threads to back-flush?

Thank you for your help!
Jun 26, 2013 at 7:06 pm #2000110I wish I had known about Eric's bottle top at
See my effort at
I have been using this mod for some time since in Australia we don't have the bottle top he has described on his thread.
Jun 26, 2013 at 7:59 pm #2000129This has worked quite well for me!
Got it from my parents store. Allows be to take the bottle off the Sawyer with out having to unscrew it. There are 2 caps inside on each side.
Weighs .4oz or 12g.Jun 26, 2013 at 8:18 pm #2000134Thanks Rocco, I approached Sawyer with my idea and they referred to it as a Tornado – never really understood what they were on about. Your gadget can be used to back flush with can it?
Jun 26, 2013 at 8:40 pm #2000137In light of recent legislation, I want to encourage all activity in this thread.

That was funny (smile).
Jun 26, 2013 at 11:30 pm #2000170Richard, re your avatar. I'd expect a Bear find that amusing…or even a Mary.
Max, any comments??Jun 27, 2013 at 2:47 am #2000180Hi Andy,
I am visiting family in Australia and read the post for the bottle top backflush system this am.
I went to Coles and picked up 2x 1l bottles of "Cool Ridge" water…exact same top…one fits on the sawyer and I pushed out the blue inner/cut off the lid on the other top which fits on the bladder. Too easy!! BTW the bottles are a real nice size to fit in the side pockets of the pack.
Cheers GC
Jun 27, 2013 at 6:03 am #2000194I lived in New York for ten years and never saw a Bear. Then I moved to the Berkshires for five years and never saw a bear. I don't really desire to meet either.
Jun 27, 2013 at 6:41 am #2000202Theoretically yes, you should be able to use it to back flush. The one time I didn't have it because I left it at a friend's house, my filter was clogged…
It makes a good seal too with out having a washer. I remember it being a lot cheaper in store than online. The big tornado tubes never seemed to work though. The threads were different.
