Good for emergency use only by Michael A. Duvernois (Minneapolis, MN United States)  5 Stars
October 15, 2009
These are great to have when camping and traveling, but it's important to have a basic plan for water beyond the iodine tablets. You're really only supposed to use them in emergencies. If you're backpacking and need to drink the local water, you should take a filtration system with you or boil the water. This is a good backup to boiling and filtration if you're short on time, or you have equipment problems. Drinking water purified with iodine also tastes foul which is a big issue in rehydrating foods.
Also note that once opened, the Portable Aqua has a limited shelf life.

A Must For Hiking And Camping by Ambergris (New England.....USA) 5 Stars
September 06, 2009
Having a water purification system along while you're in the wilderness is one of the two most important things I recommend when hiking or camping. (The other is a permanent fire starter which I have enclosed a link too). Whether you're just short of water or in the midst of a genuine survival situation, clean fresh water is the number one essential you will be required to find and sustain. Drinking dirty water can at the very least make you violently ill, and the very worst put you 6 feet under in the very wilderness you presently inhabit. Potable Aqua water tablets will purify dozens of gallons of water and make it safe for your consumption. It is generally tasteless and undetectable when mixed. However I did notice at certain times that the purified water had a slight taste similar to Flintstone vitamins, depending on the original source and condition of the water. An aftertaste is both very rare and not at all unpleasant. I have used Potable Aqua for years, and have purified both lake and stream water with it, and have never even been left with a slight tummy ache. Although I have used some of the other purification tablets here and available in other places, I recommend Potable Aqua simply because they are cheaper. And, they have the very same active ingredients that the more colorful, and more expensive variety carry. I highly recommend the Aqua tablets for anyone that ventures into the wilderness for fun and adventure. Or, for a must take along for anyone that travels to other countries where the water quality can be considered questionable.. Brunton Striker Fire Starter (Silver/Black)).

Review of purchase of Potable Aqua water purification tablets by Jean M. Naples 5 Stars
August 18, 2009
The tablets are used to purify drinking water in the country of Ghana as clean drinking water is not available to all people who live there. The quantity of these tablets will ensure potable drinking water for many gallons of drinking water. The product arrived at the designated time, was well packaged and not damaged.
Thank you for your help to provide a product that will allow people to have safe water to drink with no bacterial or parasitic diseases.
