[pct-l] Water Filter

[tom aterno]

I am not sure of the Frontier Pro flow rate, but if what you posted is correct, that would not be a problem for the way I used it.  I would fill a 1 liter bottle with untreated water.  Screw on the Frontier Pro, and drink immediately using the bite valve.  No waiting for chemicals to kill the nasties.  With the bottle and filter, it is a long contraption, but it fit in the side pocket of my Mariposa Plus with no snagging.  I also brought along Aqua Mira drops, and used them in my 1.5 liter bladder.  There really is no need to carry a lot of water in the Sierra unless you dry camp.  I highly recommend the Frontier Pro.

I am looking for a light-weight water filter.  I was going to get a ULA
Amigo Pro filter but that is now out of production.  Next option appears to
be an Aqua Mira Frontier Pro.  But the only mention I have found of flow
rate is 2 litres in 45 minutes.  That strikes me as being a problem.  It
also needs prefilter discs; which are not sold separately.

Anyone have any suggestions?
