backlash tap is useless
No, I do not recommend this product
Seems to do the job for now. But cleaning the filter? Not sure until it gets more usage. The small backflush tap is supposed to be assembled to aid in the filter cleaning process. But your guess is as good as mine as to what it “threads” into. It’s supposed to screw into the nozzle, but most certainly does not. In the diagram on the instructions, it looks to be threaded into a separate bottle as the illustration appears to show that mystery bottle next to the actual filtered bottle in #5. Color me confused. Hoping the filter can be cleansed without use of this useless little piece.

Exactly what I was looking For
Yes , I recommend this product
On long rides, I use a hydration vest that can only carry 1.5L, plus the bottles I can carry on my bike. During the summer, I can’t really go more than 3 hrs without having a way to refill on water. Getting an even bigger hydration backpack has always been a nonstarter, and using a sawyer filter is impossible to fill and keep riding, which brought me to this bottle. I carry it empty in a jersey pocket at the beginning of my ride and then swap out with a bottle on my bike once I finish it, doing my best to time it with coming on a water source. Luckily most of my water sources are mountain streams with minimal sediment, but the flow rate is great! The twist to open the filter is a little annoying but I appreciate that design seems necessary for proper filter functioning. This bottle is also much easier to fill in shallow streams than narrow-mouth soft flasks, where I’ve had issues with insufficient water pressure to get water in. With this, it’s literally just take off the cap like any bottle and dip into your water source. Worked great in even a 3-inch deep fast moving stream. Plus, if you trust your water source, bottle can work great as a way to dump water to cool off. Best bike purchase I’ve made this year.
