 Water Purification done right July 21, 2010

These tablets are for backpacking and when boiling water is impracticable. Purification does take some time though I believe the process takes about 45 minutes in total. You will need a cloth or bandanna to strain any undissolved pieces of the tablet before drinking the water but this is the exact was the US. Army does it. I would recommend these tablets for the go-bag or a long multi-day hiking trip.
Overall I am pleased by my purchase.

The product works well, it basically kills bacteria and everything else but YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE TABLET IS DISSOLVED COMPLETELY! It's hazardous, like poison, so make sure its dissolved. You put the tablet in a canteen or bottle (1-2 tablets per liter of water) and shake for a minute or two then let sit for about 15 minutes, then you strain the water through a cloth (like a t-shirt) into a cup or another clean canteen and check to see if it needs another tab, if not then drink and see how it is. Make sure the canteen is cleaned out before next use, some of the tablet may not have dissolved so check and make sure! My package is good until 01/01/2012 so its an extremely short shelf life, that is my only complaint. I plan on stockpiling these items for a long camping trip, possibly 3 months but I need something that will last longer than 3 years. Will do business with seller again, but not for same product, grossly overpriced! Sorry seller, no offense.
chlorine does not remove giardia May 1, 2008

For those going to giardia prone areas, you should know that CDC studies show chlorine does not remove giardia. For that you need an iodine based tablet. Flocculation just cleans the water visually from debris and you need two containers, one to mix the water initially and a second plus a cloth to strain it into. Otherwise this tablet and similar ones are good for most water purification needs. There's a cheap method called SODIS which is free and uses solar energy. A clear bottle filled with water and placed in direct sunlight for at least 8 hours will purify the dirtiest water. It will still have debris but that is easily filtered out, and it doesn't leave a chlorine taste that many dislike.
