Sawyer mini ?

For those of you using the sawyer mini filter. How easy/hard is it so suck water through? I have had water bottles in the past that had built in filters and they were horrible to try and get water through.

I've used the mini on two week long back pack trips so far. Before that I used the sawyer squeeze for a year or so. The mini has almost as good of flow as the squeeze. I use the two liter bags and filter water from those into my camelback. It does seem like you need to back flush more often than the squeeze.not a bid deal I just make sure I back flush each time after a trip. I love the mini. The other four guys I hunt with all use the mini and no one has had a problem.

Put the filter down towards the bite valve for better flow.
