I looked at the Aquamira before I decided on another option. I use a Sawyer filter that weighs about 2 oz in a gravity setup. Works great and I have not had any issues. They are designed to last forever (filter good for a million gallons they claim). Here is a link to the current model (I have an older model that looks slightly different).
