Hi,

so on the last trail I found out, that my saywer classic which I used like 3 times before on trails is clogged. Backflushing didnt work.

So back home, I soaked it in distilled water and vinegar. Waterflow is restored.

But how do I store it now correctly? According to sawyer, this filter doesnt have to be stored in moist conditions. Heard about some ppl put in in a non breathable ziploc so it stays moist?

After giving up on the trail I put in a ziploc and kept it moist. Opening the ziplock back home wasnt very pleasing beacuse it smelled like there a ton of bad bacterias inside now. So Iam not sure if I want to store the filter in a moist, non breathable, condition.

I will desinfect the filter now with chlorine and want to store it afterwards properly. Please give me some tips.

But before going for the next adventure I will defenetily test my filter before leaving…
