Platypus Filter Link

Do you mean just the black connector component? Maybe just buy the thing and cut away what you don't need? Sorry if I misunderstood.

I want to invert a platy bottle then attach tubing to the bottle and connect to Frontier Pro for my gravity filter.

The elbow of the filter allows me to do just that, but it would be nicer if the 90 degree elbow was not there and the tubing just came direct down.

I think that by choosing to have a piece of tubing between the bottle and the filter the flow rate will be improved.

I know this is a system you yourself use/have used, so I trust your input will be helpful.

Platy sells a Quick-Disconnect Kit that might work. Otherwise, you might be able to find one in the plumbing section somewhere

Darryl:

FWIW, I mostly use my Frontier Pro as follows:

Platypus (water treated with chlorine) –> Platypus hydration tube (rubber bite valve removed) –> Frontier Pro input nipple.

As you can see, the Frontier Pro is at the end — and I drink from its rubbery bite valve. When hiking, the unit is attached to my backpack shoulder strap for easy access. When at camp, I disconnect both the Platypus bladder and the Frontier Pro from the hydration tubing and then just screw the filter directly onto the Platy for easy drinking.

Hope this helps. If you have a niftier way — please be sure to share!

Darryl, have you seen this video from Jason Klass? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSYWoplv_Uo&feature=channel_page
