Cheaper at Walmart This exact same potable aqua along with the tablets can be found at walmart for 5 dollars. Its the same thing just cheaper and at walmart. Oh and it works too btw.
Great but not needed. I have tried this with and without the neutralizing tablets and I can say that I don't mind the taste. Plus if you're really thirsty and have already been waiting 1/2 an hour to purify your water chance are you won't want to wait another 3 or so minutes to make it taste a tiny bit better. Buy the one with just the purification tablets you'll save your self a few bucks.
Lightweight and effective I use these tablets primarily for fastpacking and trail running in the Smoky Mtns. When fastpacking I use both the tablets so that the water does not have any aftertaste and it works great! When trail running I just take the iodine tablets and not worry about the others. The iodine taste is noticable but you get used to it after a while. I also have a filter that I take at times but when it comes down to weight savings I prefer these tablets. I've never had any problems getting sick after using them to treat water in the Smoky Mtns.
Not bad but the taste on the other hand | 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars A nice system for drinkable water While I'm fairly confident I can get a fire going and boil water on extended camping adventures it's a good idea to have a few water treatment options. Now water purification has two stages to consider.bacteria and chemicals. We use these chlorine tablets to treat the bacteria then add the included ascorbic acid vitamin c to remove the taste of the chlorineand this water is very drinkable. We then sometimes elect to use a Berkey water filter to aid in removal of additional chemicals.Some people opt to use Iodine to treat the waterbut while this may work for short term use it's not recommended for longterm. Chlorine/bleach seems to be the preferred methodand the included ascorbic acid tablets help in the taste.Follow the directions and decide on a water policy for your campor survival strategy.
