Description of Aquamira Frontier Emergency Water Filter System
The ultra-light and compact Aquamira Frontier Filter easily slips into a day pack, shirt pocket or travel luggage and is always ready when you need it. Use the Frontier Filter to drink from any bottle, cup or directly from water sources. McNett customer care @ 1-800-221-7325 (or) www.mcnett.comIdeal for hiking, travel, and emergency preparedness, the Aquamira Frontier emergency water filter system is the perfect addition to your 72-hour emergency kit. The Frontier filter's proprietary blend of microscopic carbon, binder and antimicrobial particles is tested and certified to remove more than 99.9 percent of cryptosporidium and Giardia while also helping improve water taste and eliminate odors. At the same time, the filter is also easy to operate: just attach and expand the straw, submerge the filter end into the water source, and drink through the straw. It's just like drinking soda from a cup or bottle, or you can even drink directly from a water source, such as a stream or lake. And at less than 1 ounce, the Frontier slips easily into a daypack, shirt pocket, or travel bag, so it's always ready when you need it. A single Frontier unit filters up to 20 gallons (75 liters) of water.
Aquamira's Filtration Technology
Aquamira's blend of filtration particles is heated beyond the melting point of the binder material until the particles adhere to each other in a process called "sintering." The result is a highly porous, carbon-impregnated filter block with a tightly controlled pore structure. Aquamira Filtration Technology incorporates both mechanical and absorptive filtration processes to remove both physical and chemical contaminants. Although the Frontier filter does reduce bacterial and viruses, it is not certified to remove the more than 99.9999 percent of bacteria and 99.99 percent of viruses required by the U.S. EPA water purifier standard. For maximum protection, use the Frontier in conjunction with water treatment drops or water purifier tablets.
About Aquamira
Aquamira water treatment drops were introduced to the outdoor market in 1999, and have been a favorite of top outdoor guides and instructors ever since. The original idea was simple--people should be able to drink water anywhere, and the water should be safe to drink, taste good, and be easy to treat. This idea inspired the company's research team to develop the technology for a variety of portable drinking water systems and a line of water treatment products that effectively treat water in all kinds of environments, including when camping, traveling in a foreign country, or faced with a disaster. More recently, Aquamira has expanded its vision to include providing basic life-preserving items for both individuals and groups, such as villages in developing countries. Aquamira is headquartered in Logan, Utah.
Sports reviews of Aquamira Frontier Emergency Water Filter System
Customer Review: Basic Survival H2O Portable Filter System!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The BEST Emergency Waters Filter Systems is ... "Always The ONE that You have with You"! I purchased three, one for different applications and it's money well spent, for those situations that have been totally unplanned, whether on a mission, trail guide, camping, spelunking the outback or military. It's very Light, Simple to use, 2-piece filter system that will do in a emergency situation.
I wrap mine in a zipper lock bag, tied with a heavy duty rubber bands ... all items that I can use, in the moment.
Customer Review: Great addition to my pack
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I've been looking for a small water filtration system for my hiking pack that didn't rely on yucky-tasting chemical tablets and drops. When I saw this on a survival gear review online, I immediately bought it. It's so small and light that everyone should add it to their camping/hiking gear, emergency bag or glove box/first aid kit. It also fits comfortably in a pocket for extreme situations when you don't necessarily have access to your other gear.Customer Review: Amazingly small and light
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Weighs not much more than a bottle of water purification tablets, and without the nasty taste. A must have for your daypack, cargo pockets or survival kit.
A bit of carbon dust will be there, but it is harmless.
Yes, on a real backwoods hike, you need better. But this is so small and light, it is more of a survival kit item, as opposed to your everyday water filter.
Customer Review: Excellent BOB or SHTF pack addition!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
excellent compact item for emergency drinking water needs. 20 Gallons +/- at this size is excellent. Yes, something this size does not filter viruses... however for all practical purposes, a filter is no less a filter for something this size. I have bought 2 already and I am impressed. I will be adding 5 more to my BOB soon.
(Enough to last me until I can get to a permanent solution.)
Customer Review: So far so good
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I take this camping, hiking, climbing, and fairly any outdoor/traveling adventure.
You can use this even at restaurants if you get tap water. Is really small and will fit inside any pocket of your pack or pants.
I haven't done any lab test to ensure the pureness of the outcoming water but I haven't get seek yet, so... I'm believing on the filter so far...
