Can this be used hung onto a tree with a sawyer filter attached on the end? I'm wanting to use this as a gravity water filter bag.

The bag can easily be hung, but unlike traditional gravity bags the tube would still output facing up (not really a problem, just wouldn't get all the water out via gravity). What I am not sure about is the connection of the sawyer filter. The Source bladders do have a great method for snapping the drinking tube in and out of the bladder, so I would buy an extra tube and rig the sawyer filter however I could to it. Then you would have interchangeable tubes for either drinking or a camp supply. Good luck.

I do not think it would. I use this model on a pole mounted hanger. I have another feeder suspended from a tree branch with with a bungee cord. The cord is through a unit with a wider angle and about 18 inches in diameter that works really well. I threaded the bungee cord through the hole and then a large washer before hooking it to the bird feeder.

Mine is mounted on a flat metal plate off a pipe fence. The waterer has two bolts in the back, so as long as you mount it to a board or metal flange, it will work. Hope this helps!

you an stick a pole underneath the base or some how secure it in a tree from base, yes, it won't hang from a treebecause the head is attached only by a loose spring to make it wobble in the wind. Trick is to attach it to a wooden dowelor some sort from underneath (like a coin bank with stopper kind of set up, maybe a round hole about 2 inches in diameter).

I sent it right back after I took it out and saw that it was not what I was looking for. But I do believe that you could use hangers on it as long is the weight was distributed equally.

I just "shoved" the hose onto the filter cylinder. It has held on there with no problem.

Doubtful. I'd wrap some a filter media bag or filter fabric around the standpipe and put a rubber band to see if that works first. There's also a chance that adding material would slow down the flow of the water, which could damage your equipment. Do not take your chances with panty hose as the dye can run with disastrous results (been there, done that).

Probably not, it's pretty shallow but would depend on what you've got. I suppose a small load and you bungee corded the bag down would work.

It is possible, however I am not positive. I think that there is enough adjustment in the clamp that would allow it to go over the top. The thing that would concern me would be once you hook it up to the filter return, there is a little pressure on the hose that has a tendency to tip the skimmer. Not sure if the inflatable ring would be strong enough to keep this from happening. So it may not work properly. If there is a return policy you could always try it and if it don't work properly send it back. Hope this helps

Yes, it should work fine. The top piece (pictured) is what floats on the top and is propelled by the water pressure. The bag is connected to this piece by a hose and is pulled around the bottom. The only potential problem I see is if the "wrinkles" hold the debris it may not get picked up in the bag. The cool thing is the hose that connects the bag also provides a jet which displaces the debris and usually blasts it into the bag.I hope this helps.

I havent tried that yet but i have all MSR water bladers and water filter systems that work with every pack i own and expect they would work fine with this pack as well. Just look into their backpacker gear if you dont already have a set up. The heavy duty water holders are what i use and they are better than anything i have ever used before. A little expensive but mine are going on four years strong since i have the different sizes for different outings. I can say for a fact they hold up to anything even as a pillow.

You can definitely use this as a gravity drip filter. I went on a 3 day backpacking trip and I had it attached to a bladder and I would fill my bladder with water, pull off the end where I would suck the water from and very quickly use it to fill up my fellow hikers bladders that didn't have this filter. It was great for filling the pots for cooking. It is much faster then the older pump filters. I would highly recommend this system.

It probably is strong enough to do this as long as you overlap the velcro onto itself enough, and if the tree limbs are small enough. You'd probably need to use more than one piece to hold the branches. It's worth giving it a try.

No, it will not. The Sawyer Mini is designed for standard soda-bottle-size openings. To use it with this water bottle, you'd need to hold it and use the straw. Obviously it won't be watertight.Personally, I use the Sawyer collapsible bag to collect untreated water, then attach the filter and squeeze into my canteen or whatever other container.

Yes it will also work as an external diy filter pump. I used it for that but the pump won't be very helpful if it's more than 3 feet below the tank as the flow rating is not very high

Its zipped around the tree and carries the weight of the water within. So, if you mean to have it on a potted tree, make sure it and the pot can hold up that much weight comfortably. It honestly seems like a less than ideal setup with a bag this large though.

Not sure of the question. It's intended to go into a camelbak pack, if the pack is sturdy then yes. I would not use/hang it by itself especially full of liquid.
