McNett Tactical Aquamira Frontier Pro Ultralight Water Filter Review

You can trust my review, bad or good is your choice and i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
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 ... Side-by-side ... 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 packaged-graphics .
I have a Camelbak Tactical pack and a Digital ACU sleep-system and I can tell you that I was worried that the PRO version might be ORANGE .. Not the case (on *my* order, at least) ... The PRO version was a nice "Panzer" Gray, in my case ... just fine, for $5 less than the Tactical OD.
I imagined there would be some functional "value-add", to the Tactical version ... NOPE ... Just OD green, with all the same parts, pre-filters, straw and adapters.
So ... unless you are gonna (somehow) wear this thing outside your tacticool green pack, just get the PRO version, and save a "fiver".
SUGGESTION : This filter could use a lanyard-hole or a belt-clip ... would be a very helpful/useful "value-add" ...
AND ... Make the tactical version MOLLE/PALS MOUNTABLE (include a plastic speed-clip) ... Now THAT *would* be VERY "tacticool" !
... I would have two-to-four of them, lined up, in a row, on my webbing and (frankly) four of these guys, at ~50 gallons capacity, each ? .. would be a better option than a larger/bulkier Katadyne Hiker, partly because of the redundancy ... if a part breaks? .. I have FOUR MORE (at the same price) ... I can lend one to a buddy and I could distribute four filters among my various packs and pockets and "kits" ... This "redundant granularity" (on a dollar-per-gallon basis) makes the smaller Frontier series filters MUCH more flexible and dependable ... as a total system, than a larger "Hiker-type" system (at 4x or 5x the cost) ... I'd much rather have four of these (at 50 gallons each) than ONE of the larger filters (at an "iffy" 300 gallons) ... FURTHERMORE (think on this) ... The cost of the replacement filters, on the larger units? ... "pro-hibitive" ... I can use one of these Frontier filters "all-up" and just "toss-it", while salvaging any unused parts and adapters and pre-filters, etc.
... compare ! ... @ $15 each per 50 gals ... versus ... ~$80 ea., for ~300 gallons (at *most*, with frequent cleaning !!) ...
Get a BUNCH of these ... You will have spare parts and extra pre-filters ... run them on multiple bladders (in-line, as I do) and just toss-them (keeping the extra parts) when the main filter clogs (rather than trying to scrub them clean ... how annoying!) ... And if one of these breaks ? ... you have three more (one in your pocket, one in your fanny-pack, ... one in your day-pack) ...
If had it to do over? ... I would have just gotten a dozen of these Frontiers.
Instead, I got a Katadyne Base-Camp, when I could have just used a Platapus (Nalgene or Camelbak) bladder and used the (included) Frontier "in-line" filter option ... again ... disposing of used filters, rather than trying to "baby" a much more expensive Hiker-type filter.
Many noobs just do not understand that, to get the ~300 gallon claimed capacity, out of larger filters (highly expensive replacement) you must scrub the filter FREQUENTLY and avoid mirky water, altogether (or you may get only~30 gallons out of them) ...
Would YOU not rather have five or six of THESE filters, complete with extra parts and adapters and pre-filters, for the SAME PRICE ?!
I wish I had "done the math" and figgered this (all) out, before I dropped a bundle on a Hiker+Base+replacements ... (smack forehead) ... Live and learn ! (or just read this review ! )
A Steripen (UV pen) and some lithium 8x batteries are also a great idea, to suppliment these filters (for UV virus eradication).
Hope this helps !
