The squeeze has been pretty much talked about to death so maybe this has been as well but I came across the below video for using the Aquamira Frontier Pro pre-filter with the Sawyer Squeeze. It not only adds a pre-filter but also protects the exposed threads, stops the rubber washer from falling out and solves the Platy problem.
Brilliant.
Maybe not though because the threads connecting the frontier pro pre-filter to the Squeeze are going to be the same (presumably) as the Platy and not a good match. I don't have a frontier pro to check but someone with one might be able to chime in.
I tried this a while back since I have both filters. However, when I went to squeeze the water through the Squeeze filter with the FP prefilter attached, the water dribbled a little from between the FP prefilter and the Sawyer Squeeze filter. Of course this is what we don't want…
If I feel like I need a prefilter, I simply lay a corner of my small MSR Nano Packtowel over the mouth on the water bottle/bladder and then screw the filter onto the bottle. In my experiences, this has not affected the seal between the water bladder/bottle and the filter so no dribbling. As well, it has not affected the flow rate as far as I can tell.
