Capable of producing 3,000 gallons (11,350 liters) of safe drinking water per day, the Aquifer 3000 provides 6 gallons of drinking water per person per day from seawater, brackish, or fresh sources. It comes in two rugged transport cases, each under 190 pounds, for two-person carry. Tool-free assembly, intuitive controls, and rapid setup and takedown make the system reliable for mission-critical operations.

The Aquifer 3000 is the newest product in the Aquifer Series from Spectra Watermakers, a Katadyn Group brand. The series includes solutions designed for military, humanitarian aid, and disaster relief applications. The 3000 offers a dedicated defense solution, combining mobility, quick setup, daily redeployment, and durability proven through MIL-STD-810H testing.

The system operates in two modes for maximum flexibility. High Mode (3,000 gallons per day) is used under normal conditions, while Low Mode (1,600 gallons per day) is suited for solar applications, smaller power sources, or reduced sound signature. The Aquifer 3000 is tested to MIL-STD-810H for durability and is compliant with the Buy American Act and Berry Amendment. Read more

FPC Files Ninth Circuit Brief in Arms-Ban Case

SAN FRANCISCO — Today, attorneys for Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed an important brief with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals explaining how the appellate court should apply the Supreme Court’s Second Amendment test for determining the constitutional protection for arms first established in the 2008 D.C. v. Heller ruling and further explained in the 2022 NYSRPA v. Bruen decision.

In its September 5, 2025, order in the case of Knife Rights v. Bonta, the Ninth Circuit requested amicus briefs to address critical questions around the Supreme Court’s use and application of the terms “in common use” and “dangerous and unusual.”

“FPC is interested in this case because it raises fundamental and important questions about the nature and application of the ‘in common use’ test the Supreme Court has established to govern Second Amendment challenges to laws banning a type of weapon,” FPC explained in the brief. “The answers to these questions are of critical importance to FPC’s many members throughout the country, including within this Circuit, who wish to keep and bear common arms for self-defense and other lawful purposes.” Proper application of the Supreme Court’s binding precedents is important to ensuring the full protection of bearable arms by the Second Amendment—a determination that is central to FPC’s ongoing lawsuit challenging California’s unconstitutional ban on so-called “assault weapons,” currently before the Ninth Circuit.
