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 chlorine…and 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 water…but while this may work for short term use, it’s not recommended for longterm. Chlorine/bleach seems to be the preferred method…and the included ascorbic acid tablets help in the taste.
Follow the directions and decide on a “water policy” for your camp…or survival strategy.

|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 sure,
The item I got is not the two bottles as pictured
But 1 bottle instead. The package says it has the PA Plus added but I have not tested them yet for taste. Did find this cheaper at Walmart but I should have done better research
