Emergency Drinking Water Handy to have along with your other emergency gear the ability to quickly purify drinking water is important. These tablets are small and sealed easy to have several around just in case.
No idea if it works! No idea if this works but I was traveling to India recently and in 2 liter bottles I'd drop 2 of these tablets in watch them fizz for a min and wait 30 min to drink it.
analyze the water Did you analyze the water or just making generalizations it certainly removes harmful bacterial cysts and protozoa.Yeah thought so.

only 3 years left not good for 5 as advertized Advertized as good for 5 years. Yes good for 5 years FROM MANUFACTURE DATE not purchase date. I found same item at several different WEB sites and two brick n mortar. All of them listed manufacture date about 6 months ago. There was not any manufacture date listed on this site. I just assumed shame on me these would be about the same. I figured I would get over 4 maybe as high as 4 1/2 years out of them. SurpriseSurprise Manufacture date was MAY of 2010. These are only good for 3 years 5 months. Not the 5 years as advertized. Depending on their inventory a year from now they might still be selling the MAY 2010 stock!! I blame both Amazon as well as the advertizer on this one. AMAZON ATTENTION!!!!! IF SOMEONE IS ADVERTIZING AN ITEM WITH AN EXPIRATION DATE THEN THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO POST THAT DATE IN THEIR DESCRIPTION. AMAZON SHAME..ON..YOU Next time I will buy it at the brick n mortar so I can see the expiration date. Spending the extra money would be worth it. However I do like the fact that these are blisterpacked instead of loose in a bottle. This way they can be split up into a few kits. If you open the ones in a bottle you are down to just 6 months of protection MAX.
