Thanks for the link. Only problem is that the information on the AGG site is totally wrong. First of all, the Frontier Pro filters down to 2 microns, not 3 as stated. Second of all to effectively remove Cryptosporidium and Giardia, you need a pore size of 1 micron or smaller. So the Frontier Pro does NOT effectively remove them. That's why I use the chemicals in addition to the filter. I wouldn't trust the AGG one without adding chemicals.

The other thing I don't like about the AGG design is that it can ONLY be used as a gravity filter. Mine can be used as a gravity filter, in drinking straw mode, or as a hydration system so it's more versatile. I'm not saying the AGG is a bad design, just a different animal and not as effective in my opinion.
