Anything's possible, like a leak, or something, but the technology in the Sawyer filters is the same that they used in kidney dialysis machines, but stopped using it because it was filtering out the good stuff, along with the bad.
I have a Squeeze One and two Minis, but haven't used them all that much. My S-One works with a gravity bucket system, so at that point, my condo neighbors will enjoy the floaties, or go thirsty. Chris |

What are the chances those floaties were previously dried residue/sediment/smegma on the inside your hydration system? It could easily be backwash too.
Unless you let it freeze , I don't see how anything visible to the human eye could pass through one. |

I would bet those floaties didn't go through the filter. They were probably a bit of bacteria growing in your bladder.

I've got multiple Mini's but decided to leave my flush syringe at home on a trip earlier this year. Big mistake! We had to get water out of a small pone (the only water source for miles) and all the Mini's we were using quickly clogged within a quart of water.
I will always pack my flush syringe on future trips and will probably switch to the larger Squeeze in the future. |

Try using a coffee filter to pre-filter, and maybe a carbon filter inline, if worried about viruses take some Aquamira drops or tabs with you.
