Has anyone used this RED LINE filter and care to give a review? What are the weight and dimensions? How's the flow rate? Is it easy to suck water through when used in the inline mode? Will it work well with Platypus system?
For years now, I've been using the Frontier Pro with my Platypus system — and I love its compactness, light weight and ease of use. But it doesn't deal with viruses like the above Max. What I've been doing is pre-treating my water with chlorine drops — then sucking water through the filter after a 20-min wait. Sucking through the Pro takes little effort.
I know that Max is bigger and heavier — but hopefully not too much. I am also hoping that sucking effort will be comparable with the Pro. If so, then I'll upgrade to the MAX and save myself the 20-min chlorine wait time.
