This is the best on the trail water purifier tablet no toxic chlorine That hurts probiotics this does not affect probiotics and kills absolutely everything bad.

Good to have these. Hope i never have to use this. 1 pill for 1 qt of water. 4 hrs later its good to drink.

Took these back country camping and used them in conjunction with a sawyer squeeze water filter. Sure it tastes like pool water, but no one got sick and they’re very lightweight so good enough for me. Does take 4 hours to disinfect. I believe there are liquid drops that work in 30 mins so consider some research.

When going out, even for what you think is a day trip, taking a water purification method is critical.This is one of those items that you can take and never notice it's there, until you need it. When you need it, it will not fail you!That said, when packing for a trip this is always better complimented with some form of ceramic filter, or other filtering system (as is noted on the product page as well.) That is because the chlorine dioxide will kill anything harmful in the water, and your filter will ideally remove any particulate. The treated water has a minimal taste, which is even lessened or removed if filtered after treatment.Not to go too far into technique and practice; this will fit nicely in a small pouch (throw the instructions on too!) with water filter, and a bag for holding your water while you treat it. If you don't already having a bag only for dirty water, that folds small, is something you might want to add to your list!Coming back to the product! These are tried and true "Potable Aqua" has ben around my whole life, and are a trusted name brand for outdoor enthusiasts and those who find themselves in places with unreliable water filtration.

I personally used these for a two month journey through Central Asia that at one point involved two weeks without bottled water (during trekking, traveling). I used these tablets on water I gathered from streams and occasionally from water gathered from wells that looked suspect (i.e., from the plumbing in people's homes). I drank water of various colors (brown, blue and clear), and I never got sick once, which I think proves the authenticity of these tablets (or that I am lucky).I cannot comment on the taste of the water, because typically the taste of water was the last thing on my mind. If you are thirty, you will drink it. That said, I do not remember the tablets ever causing a strongly undesirable taste (when I used it on water from people's homes). The only time I noticed a pungent taste was when the water was noticeably foul looking, because it was the only source I could get. Ironically, the water I suspected most came from a crap hotel in China that accepted Pakistani rupees (no ATM in town). I am quite sure the taste was not a side-effect of the tablets.A few notes:I had a 2-L Camelback (technically Platypus) I stuck two tablets in and a 1.5 L plastic bottle (the disposable kind) that I stuck only one tablet in, since I figured the tablets had a safety factor. I probably filled the bottle 1.3-1.4 L's up.I waited at least 4 hours before drinking after dropping the tablets in, and would alternate with my Platypus/bottle. In one instance I only waited 2 or 3 hours for the water in my Platypus (which had two tablets), but the water "looked fresher."The tablets are highly portable. I stuck them in my mini-first aid kit.They are significantly cheaper than other alternatives, and protect against virtually everything. You also do not have to worry about iodide poisoning with these.For these reasons, I prefer these tablets to others, even if there is a four hour wait. Keep the iodide tablets for emergencies, and use these tablets for more "regular" use.

These tablets are easy to take with you when traveling & very easy to use. They work well & we do not taste any after taste.
