Product Description
A revolutionary two stage process that makes water bacteriologically safe to drink and taste good. After treating water with Potable Aqua, simply drop 1-2 tablets of the neutralizer into the water and wait 3-5 minutes for clear, great tasting water. It greatly reduces the iodine taste and the discoloration caused by the iodine. |

Great, but not needed. by GilmoreGirlsFan  2 Stars

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.

Haven't tried it yet in a real nature so 4 stars by Anonymous (Boston, MA)  4 Stars

I learned of this product through my hiking class in April. I got this one instead of just iodine to test if I could tolerate the taste. I tested twice with normal tap water. After 30 minutes, it was not too strong and tolerable iodine taste and smell, but some people hate this iodine taste without the neutralizing tablet. Well, this made the about 98% of iodine taste to go away, but my plastic container retained some iodine smell. What people do, I heard, was to tolerate and drink or add drink mix. What I did was to add Lipton English tea bag(that cheap one) right after iodine treatment. Then, whoa! Iodine smell and taste disappeared almost all the way. It's really hard to tell that I put iodine previously. The neutralizing treatment tablet contained ascorbic acid or Vitamin C, so perhaps the antioxidant in tea neutralized iodine. If you don't mind drinking tea, then, I recommend to buy just iodine tablet ($5) and tea bags. However, these two bottles take up less space, and I recommend them too since they are cheaper than other water treatments in the market. In addition, filter takes up more space and money. Boiling water for just drinking 1L of water means more fuel usage and waiting time for the water to cool. Boiling water is good for making more water than drinking water. However, filter seems to be better where water is more contaminated. It's probably better to buy a bottled water than filter in those places in my opinion.
