Aquamira FRONTIER PRO Emergency Water Filter (Military/Tactical)
Aquamira Tactical Frontier Pro Ultralight Emergency Water Filter with Bacteria & Cyst Removal
The ultra light, compact "pump free" Aquamira Frontier Pro Military Emergency Water Filter can be connected to almost anything using the universal connectivity system. This personal filtration device will fit into the palm of your hand. Note: The "Military" Frontier Pro uses the exact same construction as the "Consumer" edition.
The replaceable filter design means highly cost-effective extra capacity capability, Comes packaged in a zipper pouch which doubles as a water collection and storage unit. Connects to bottles, bags, bladders, and gravity systems via UQC quick connects.
It will connect directly to any water bottle with a 28mm opening (such as a Platypus® or standard spring water bottle). Using the tube connection feature, you can connect to the drink tube of your hydration system, or drink from any open container or water source. Since you drink directly from the unit, there is no chance of confusing inlet and outlet tubes which could result in cross contamination. The Frontier Pro can also be set up in a “gravity flow” mode to filter water unattended.

One would never know with a quick glance but the Frontier Pro has been completely redesigned from the ground up starting with an entirely new, replaceable GRN Line filter that provides reliable bacterial removal at higher flow rates than the previous cyst removal version. Now you can change out filters as needed and carry spares at under an ounce each.
Frontier GRN Line filtration is achieved using Aquamira's unique 2 stage Electro-Positive Absorption Technology. The replaceable pre-filter disk removes larger particles, then final charged micro-glass fibers "pull" organisms as small as bacteria out of the water stream while still maintaining high flow rates and low pressure drops. GRN Line filters have been thoroughly tested by independent laboratories and are proven to consistently remove protozoan cysts and bacteria to ANSI/NSF – 53 and US EPA standards without the use of disinfecting chemicals such as chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The addition of sub-micron carbon particles into the filter media increases the absorptive capability required to reduce chlorine and harmful chemicals, bad tastes, and odors to ANSI/NSF – 42 standards. GRN Line filters provide superior biological protection, high flows and long service life in a compact, lightweight, and easy to use cartridge.
The patented design of the Frontier Pro filter system includes the unique Cap Strap™ cap system to retain the cap and protect the patented Bite Me™ valve from contamination along with providing a sure grip on the filter that fits comfortably in your hand. The filter casings are constructed of high impact FDA-grade ABS plastic to assure long life even in harsh environments. The UQC (universal quick connect) allows connection to standard quick connect fittings, the draw tube provided with the system, any 1/4" ID tubing such as hydration drink tubes, and 28mm threaded bottles such as Platypus® and other light weight flexible bottles. You will be amazed that a filter this small can do so much.
