About Sawyer Products
Sawyer Products has been manufacturing outdoor water filtration and insect repellent products in Safety Harbor, Florida since 1984, earning a global reputation for water filters used by backpackers, disaster relief organizations, and military personnel.
Heritage & History
Sawyer Products was founded in 1984 in Safety Harbor, Florida, initially focusing on sunscreen and outdoor skin care products before pivoting toward water filtration technology. The company's hollow fiber membrane filtration system, developed in-house, became the foundation of the Squeeze filter and the PointOne filter — products that changed the backpacking water treatment market when they were introduced.
The hollow fiber membrane technology Sawyer uses was adapted from medical dialysis filtration research. Applied to field water treatment, it produces a filter that removes 99.99999% of bacteria and 99.9999% of protozoa — performance that meets or exceeds the EPA's standards for drinking water treatment.
Made in Safety Harbor, Florida
Sawyer manufactures its water filters and insect repellent products at its Safety Harbor, Florida facility. The hollow fiber membrane filter elements are produced with medical-grade quality controls — a manufacturing standard that justifies Sawyer's claim that every filter leaving the factory is individually tested before packaging.
The Permethrin insect repellent line, which treats clothing and gear rather than skin, is also produced domestically. Permethrin is EPA-registered for clothing application and has been used by the U.S. military to treat uniforms since the 1990s. Sawyer's treatment products are used by military units, Peace Corps volunteers, and outdoor enthusiasts in mosquito-heavy environments worldwide.
