Can this straw filter water into a separate container (that can then be drawn from with a feeding tube syringe)?

The straw comes with a collapsible water bottle to draw water into for later use.

No. It has a small oval shaped opening (much like styrofoam coffee cups) which would be too small for a regular sized straw.

The straw is attached with the filter.you cannot drink without the filter...it is a great bottle..

Yes, but the straw is soft rubber tubing. I haven't used it...I've been using extra-long disposable straws instead. The cup is AWESOME!!!

There is a siphon tube but it is not auto siphon. You have to get it started with water.

The filter does not allow for deep concentration of filtration. I would check out camping-specific filters for that application. I think I would carry a metal water bottle for camping. The plastic is durable but the lid can split if bumped around.

Yes, there is a hard plastic straw inside that attaches to the soft silicone piece that is connected to the lid and which forms the "straw" from which one would drink.

I'm not sure, but if you could add liquid through the feed tube to make sure it doesn't overflow.

Maybe some fluid engineer could comment on this, but if you can pull water up a short tube that means water is being pulled through the filter. I have a 6 inch tube in an aquarium and that functions well.

Dear Valued Customer, Sawyer states, "The Sawyer Water Filters feature a 0.1 Micron Absolute Hollow Fiber Membrane, which uses medical technology developed from kidney dialysis. When the water is drawn through the filter, it flows through the side walls of the Hollow Fiber tubes. Sediment, bacteria, protozoa, cysts, and other contaminants are filtered out exceeding all applicable EPA recommendations. NO CHEMICALS, NO WAITING, NO PUMPING, NO WORRIES!" We hope that this sufficiently answers your question. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you for your inquiry. Sincerely, Thunder Mountain (ThndrMntn) Sales and Service

I never saw a reason to buy a filtered water bottle to not use the filter, so I don't know. I'm sure it will, the filter is in the straw so I don't see why it shouldn't. But what's wrong with having double filtered water?

I did not try to do that myself, but the tube (or straws) are both very flexible plastic and would certainly be able to be cut.

I tried it today and you can but it's a little more difficult than I would prefer. The straw works great tho!

Yes you can. I personally have an Camelbak Eddie (that I bought from LL Bean, it was my first Camelbak) that I use for my tea and I keep my filtered ones for water. But I just tested it with water and yes it works.

Yes. It comes with a straw-like tube and it works great for hard to reach areas.

Yes it will work as a gravity filter. It works really well too. It will drain a 3L bladder in just a few minutes. I added anothe quick release near the bite valve so I could use it either way.

yes. the straw mechanism has two parts, both of which are removable. There is a straight hard straw, and a softer spout that fits into the lid of the bottle. very easy to use and clean.
