Are these pouches designed to also act as a pressure clean out for the filter - to replace the syringe?

Sawyer recommends using the syringe. I have not tried what you are asking but I don't think the bag can create that much pressure.
581476
I have not done this and would suggest you might not want to... Three things to think about: 1) Syringe gives lots of pressure - instructions note the filter can take a lot of pressure - and weight next to nothing (why not carry it), 2) Bags are "squeezable" but that is only to the point of pushing water through filter...I would be concerned about rupturing a seam, 3) I like to keep the bags on one end of the filter...to keep things clean.I f you are concerned about clogging on the trail take two...not likely you'll clog both up on the same trip.

No...need syringe to apply high pressure. I put the syringe against my chest and use both hands to pull the unit back with all my mite. Works great. 3 of us camped on only water source for a week, which was a stagnant beaver pond. Water smelled bad but no one got sick.

I think my answer would be close to what R.Pe noted,good information there.What I would say is that unless you filter from some sketchy sources a lot the Sawyer filter won't need back washing in the field.When you get home you can backwash your filter.I hike with 3 guys several times a year and we all carry the Sawyer,we will bring one syringe between us but on four trips we have been on nobody had to backwash-that being said chose your water sources wisely.

Sawyer recommends using the syringe. Besides the bags screw on to the wrong end to be used to flush the filter.

No. The bags are strick for water storage and to eliminate you from ducking too hard. You can squeeze the bags a bit to push water through. Some folks I know, never use it as a straw...just fill other containers from the bags. The syringe is to reverse flow and clean.

No. Apparently the So Clean circulates the cleansing gas through the cpap unit, hose and mask.

I don't see why not, My neighbor uses them & I think she has a dispenser like that, mine is a fabric zip pouch. They measure 1 1/4 " diameter & just under 2 1/2 " long.

These are to be used inside of a multi use filter holder such as the "my Kcup", not in place of it. The rationale being, I suppose, to save on cleanup time. I use them double lined. Please read my review for more info.

Filter: 1.98 (mine might have a little residual moisture) Syringe: 1.13 Pouch: 0.87 (with screw cap, push cap might be slightly more) Straw: 0.22 Zip Baggie: Depends on what you use to hold the filter.

You have the option of using the flat wrap around blue filter (around the center paper cartridge) as well as a bag. The bag keeps all debris out of the canister and keeps canister nice and clean. Your choice.

yes as long as you have the insert to go into the water area, I use them all the time, it helps with not having to clean your machine as much. You can rotate the date so you know when to insert another filter.

I presume it will fit. Syringes I am using have same specs except for mine are 1ml capacity. Good product.

Bio chem stars, carbon pouch, I make my our. I also buy big roll of micro filtration pad cut to fit. Go to go. Had my for years.

The clamp is designed only for loosening off filters, since they get seized on. Unfortunately, it does not facilitate tightening filters. It would be a nice feature, if it could lock to a specific size for torquing filters to spec.So to answer: No, there is no way to use this when tightening your filter, short of modifying it yourself todo so.

Yes, They screw onto any needless inject. cap. It would screw onto the cap of the non-coring needle. The posi-flush prevent syringe induced reflux.

No, I used this as an adapter for pool vacume. Large debres go into filter basket if you have one on your pump.

It makes it easier to put your purée into the cylinders that feed into the pouches, basically gives you a wider opening :-)

I don't think so. As I remember, the center of a DE filter element houses a pipe that conveys water through the DE socks. This cartridge needs to go in that location, and non-DE filter systems have an empty space here. BUT, you could put this cartridge anywhere in the filter stream, as long as the water gets flushed over this cartridge the minerals will dissolve and work. Maybe you could make an inline holder for the cartridge out of some PVC pipe, use it on the intake side and it should work fine. I worry about using the PVC pipe on the discharge side sue to possible pressure buildup.

No. We've been using them for a few months and it doesn't seem to make a difference. We just cap it and lay it down. Awesome pouches.

The HOT filters used to come with the SIPHON-KLEEN and had a hook up that you just replaced the intake with the connector and you could use it like a powered siphon. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to do the same now even though it's no longer included.

Small enough to do the job you are proposing, the tubes vary in size from diameter of a common drinking staw, then size of a pen/pencil, then D shaped for the largest about the size of a sharpie. My wife loves them !!! (We use a 60cc catheter tipped syringe with the stopper removed for the same purpose)
