This has been covered many times before, I know, but this is a short (ish) video of a LifeStraw and a Sawyer Mini water filter, both being de-constructed, de-molished, and to me at least, de-bunked...

...it seems they rely on string. But this is magic string !
Just kidding. Its a hollow fibre that has been proven to work, but interesting nevertheless. Now I see the reason for all the DIY activated charcoal/carbon mods that are posted on the interweb-thing.

Re: Inside Water Filters- Sawyer Mini & LifeStraw
I believe the Sawyer is a spin off from Renal Dialysis.Filtering kidneys is serious stuff.They work though,no matter how they are built.And the Sawyer is so cheap,especially when you consider how much it will filter.
I bought three of them a few years ago when I was flush with cash.One is in my GHB,one still in its packaging,and the other is in the ' emergency' kit in the pantry.The latter I played with by filtering rainbutt water ( no other treatment) and drinking it over a week.Took it to Spain last year for six months and used it when I was guiding anglers out in the countryside. It meant we carried less water, which is heavy.Nobody was poorly!
If they are made of string,then as you say,its magic string.

In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.
