 Hey guys today we're going to show you how to use gravity water filtration system by Sawyer. And really all you have to end up doing is you have a dirty bag you have a clean bag. There's a couple different ways you can tell the difference between them but the dirty bag has two ways for water to get in with this big lid and the clean bag does not it's just a bag. So when you buy the whole kit this is the dirty pouch you fill this with dirty water and then that's the clean one and then there is this tube that connects both of them and then it comes also with the Sawyer filter so all of this is one system. When you hook them up you got to make sure the Sawyer filter is flowing into the clean bag right dirty water not because it's awfully dirtier or garbagey but just because this is the water that's got the stuff in it that you can't drink right fill it up all the way through the big area sometimes it can be a little bit of a ritual to go okay and then what we end up doing is we set it in one spot we'll hook it up here which i'll do in a moment and then you get the clean bag much lower down and gravity itself will just take the water through the filter in a couple of minutes 10 minutes or so you'll have yourself a big old gallon of water that you can use and you just want to make sure that the direction of flow is going down all right so let's do that. So we got locked off here which is good. I'm gonna un-spin it first so that i don't have to spin it again in a moment and that's one gallon about 3.78 liters yeah a little bit less than four liters okay so that's that's done we've got the tube and then we have a little clip here that can pinch so you can detach the clean bag from time to time without letting the rest of the water come through so we're gonna un-clip that sometimes you kind of just have to move this around a bit just to un-kink it otherwise the kink might keep the water from flowing through but once you do that sit it down walk away and you'll notice right here looking through the tube very slowly stuff is starting to just gonna start making its way through you'll see air bubbles moving in the beginning and such but it's like watching paint dry don't do it you know I mean just walk away check back in on it in a minute if you're not sure yeah but uh you won't notice anything really happening over the course of a moment here so if you're hiking in an area with trees it's definitely better to make sure that you're hanging it up here if you can hold it Alex on a tree and they're just tilt it a little bit so that you can see the water you can see here that it's slowly migrating so we have to adjust it and just sit it in a way that water is flowing yeah just walk away it'll uh it'll go there we go that's how you use the gravity system filter to filter some water uh this is what we use when we are going on backpacking trips and obviously here since we're camping at the Arizona hot springs beach we need clean water so and we've got plenty of it so we don't have to backpack 15 gallons of it either exactly just clean the water you got well awesome guys so that's about it if you found this to be useful give this video a like thumbs up consider subscribing to the channel and we will see you soon on a new adventure
