AQUAMIRA 1OZ WATER TREATMENT DROPS good product
AQUAMIRA 1OZ WATER TREATMENT DROPS - N/A - N/A Read more...
Handy on the trail I confess what I really wanted was a filter pump for my back county hike but not having the $100+ for one of those these treatment drops did the trick perfectly! Left little or no taste in the water and kept me alive.To keep my hydration pack sterile I brought an empty 2Liter bottle along to dip in the river and treat the water slung it from the outside of my pack.
Better than a filter? I say equal I have a friend who uses a nice $80 filter. The nice thing is you get water instantly with a filter but you have to hand pump. The drops work great taste like water out of the tap and are super light weight perfect for backpacking or emergency kit The only draw back I found for the drops is if you have more than one container you have to mix the water individually. Here's what I meanIf you have 4 32oz. water bottles. You mix Part A & Part B and wait 5 minutes for the chemicals to react. You have to do that for each water bottle thus 20 minutes and 4x's you have to go through the motions. I will bring a collapsible 1 gallon water jug next time so I just have to do it once. Plus once you add the mixture to the water it takes 15 minutes for the drops to work in clean water and up to 30 minutes for murky high turbity water. 300 Gallons of water for <$15. I would recommend this to anyone!!! Hope this review helps and happy hydration.
good product This does the job. I've used a few different methods to treat my water but this method is good when you don't have time or weight to carry a water filter. Just like all the other chemically treated products it leaves an iodine taste and smell in your water but at least it's letting you knowits working.

McNett Tactical Aquamira Frontier Ultralight Better but bigger
McNett Tactical Aquamira Frontier Pro Ultralight Water Filter Read more...- 3 replacement pre-filters lengthen filter life. Filters up to 50 gallons of water.
- All the benefits of a larger bottle filter in an ultralight, compact size.
- Straw style filter attaches directly to water bottles and water bladders. Tube adapter attaches directly to hydration packs.
- Antimicrobial. Removes giardia and cryptosporidium. Ultralight and compact. Portable and easy to use. No wait time.
However DO NOT drink otherwise untreated water with this filter! This is a great little filter for what it does.Learn what each type of water treatment does and does not do. I wouldn't drink water from any natural source even a stream or lake through this without also chemically treating it too. If I would then I probably would have drank it with out any treatment like from a known pure source ie. trusted spring.Most of the pump filters in common use filter out bacteria some remove viruses and most all remove giardia and cryptosporidium .The advertising may be a little deceptive. It is not a lie just a partial truth.This filter does nothing to filter out bacteria or viruses. It only takes out Giardia and Cryptosporidium which are both larger organisms as well as some taste and dirt. This filter in itself is not an acceptable method for treating drinking water from any open stream or lake in the US IMHO. It probably does a good job of removing the things it say it does but removing bacteria is the basic water treatment you are looking for.This is basically what the ad says. Antimicrobial. Removes giardia and cryptosporidium. Ultralight and compact. Portable and easy to use. No wait time. That's a little deceptive advertising but true. It just doesn't say it that it doesn't take out bacteria virus. It does say this if you get into the company website and I think on the directions with the filter.Important When using this filter you still need to treat the water chemically with iodine chlorine chlorine dioxide a SteriPEN etc to kill bacteria and viruses.Both the SteriPEN and chlorine dioxide tablets are nice because they have no taste or even improve the taste in the case of the chlorine dioxide.All that said this is still a great filter for a very specific procedure as follows A great light weight method for treating water is to use this filter in series with two bags. A dirty and clean bag and gravity filter water. It weighs much less then any pump. You also need to treat the water with chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide takes four 4 hours to kill Cryptosporidium but only 1/2 hours to kill bacteria and virus. So with the combination you can be drinking in 1/2 hour or so.Do a search on youtube for jasonklass filter and he describes a very lightweight process using this filter and additional chemical treatment. Together it is about the lightest filter system you can have and quite fast as well. I think he uses the less expensive Frontier Pro model which is basically the same.Edit On further review their site says it removes down to 3 micron.
great product great value This little water filter is great ! Very lightweight and great for backpacking when you don't want to carry a heavy walter filtration device. You can drink straight from the stream or lake and be sure your water will taster a whole lot better than without it.
The color seems the only difference. I got both Tactical and PRO versions AFAICT the color and the pricing is the only difference. The PRO version was a subdued gray color really no more visible than the OD Tacticool version Sidebyside visually? you can barely tell the difference between the PRO and the Tactical. Depending on your source the Tactical can cost ~$5 more plus?.Functionally ? In terms of what you get in the package ?? Everything else is exactly the same IDENTICAL other than color and pricing and packagedgraphics . I have a Camelbak Tactical pack and a Digital ACU sleepsystem and I can tell you that I was worried that the PRO version might be ORANGE ..
Don't know yet I haven't really had a chance to use this but I will say that I would very rarely if ever trust just a filter to give me potable water. That being said I bought this to use the one two punch method of first purifying water with chemical tablets and then using the filter to remove 1 any particulates in the water I collect 2 the chemical taste of the tablets and 3 as a backup for the chemical just in case.
Better but bigger This filter unlike the regular frontier emergency filter handles up to 50 gallons has prefilters and has threads/attachments for connecting to a threaded water bottle or snapping onto a hydration bladder. So far so good. However it is much bulkier than the regular modeltoo much so for easily keeping in a pocket. Unfortunately the regular filter doesn't attach to or even fit inside the smaller mouth of a collapsible water bottle. Yet it's smaller and lighter not to mention cheaper than the Pro model.So for pocket use the Pro model isn't great. But for keeping in a bag with a collapsible canteen it's the way to go. Fits just fine onto my platypus. Also the bag it comes in can be used as an emergency water containter zip top with standing base.

Frontier Emergency Disaster Preparedness Survival Dunno
Water Filter Straw, Frontier Emergency Water Filter System for Emergency Disaster Preparedness, Survival Kits, Survival Packs, Read more...- The Frontier Filter is the ideal alternative to heavy, bulky and expensive pump filtration units when space and weight are primary factors. Activated carbon helps reduce waterborne chemicals and improves water taste.
- Use the Frontier Emergency Water Filter System to drink from any bottle, cup or directly from water sources.
- Ultra light and compact, the Aquamira Frontier Emergency Filter System weighs less than one ounce and easily slips into a day pack, shirt pocket or travel luggage and is always ready when you need it.
Just in case It's in our emergency pack so haven't used it yet. It seems like a musthave for any time you may be on foot with all your survival needs on your back such as long hikes.
Dunno bought it for the SHTF bag and I hope to never need to use it. In theory it looks like it should work just fine but I did buy one for both me and my wife as well as other products to ensure good water if anything should ever happen.
Great for Emergency Storage My boyfriend bought these to take with him hunting just in caseBut they'd be great to keep in one's emergency supply storage.
Seems to work but has a cheap feel OK I ordered this because it was cheap. Had to send the first one back because it was broken. Received the replacement after a minor delay. The filter seems to work but it sure is.cheap feeling. Maybe that's not fair since being cheap is why I ordered itstill it's hard to trust this filter to work when I need it. I may check other options. But it DOES seem to work.
