I need to know what the interest level is on this.

If we can purchase twenty sawyer water filters or more, they will reduce the price 5% (10% if we sell 50) and eat the shipping, if it sent to one place. You would supply the bucket..........

If you don't want to do it this way, this site is the lowest price on the net.

What say you?

I would be interested in a group buy on that.
I would use it to filter our tap water.

Damn. This looks even better then the sand filter discussed here; https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...ess/164600-low_cost_water_filter_project.html Sawyer has two variants; the 0.1 micron and the 0.02 micron, the latter is twice the price. I wonder if its worth it or would 0.1 be good enough? I checked on Amazon for prices, buying directly from Sawyer is cheaper by $20 or so.

I'm down for one. Looks like I could attach to the rain barrel pretty easily.

I'll watch the thread. Thanks, Longbow.

I'm in for one. How do I get it? Would I have to pick it up somewhere or would you be willing to ship it to me? (at my $ of course).

Add another Three toward your 20 or 50 unit order.

Is this just gauging a group buy?

I'll commit to 2 if so. I might possibly go for three by the time an official Group buy post is initiated.

So it's good for a million gallons, cleans by backflushing, and doesn't get "used up"? For $20? Damn. I'm in for at least 1. I'll ask around work and may be in for more.

Ah yes...the bolded small number caught me. Still seems like a steal.

Looks like I'll post up a group buy on the weekend. Busy at work and will lay out the rules at that time.

My office is in Carmel and my home is down by Bloomington so I can help spread them around and if you want me to mail them i'll check on the price..

Hang with me for a few days.

Also, if you can't wait the prices listed are very good.

Not to derail this possible group but but for that money you might consider doing this group buy instead.

For the same price you get everything you need here:

I told a friend about the Sawyer and he called them. Goes like this; the 0.1 micron is good for 'relatively clean water' like mountain streams, rain run off, clear pools, etc... the 0.02 micron can purify 'The worst case scenario, we're talking rotting meat IN the water, dead fish, feces, everything.' They ship these all over the world, apparently he went on for twenty minutes about the villages in Africa that sleep with these under their pillows they're so valuable. (I would imagine they got them from aid workers.) Take all of that for what it's worth. The flow rate is still very good for the 0.02 micron filter...but it is twice the price.
