Use it as a backup solution

Likes

Weighs almost nothing! A good idea to have something like this in your pack as a contingency plan if your main water filter is not available.

Dislikes

Not the greatest tasting water, but we were glad to have them when my water filter was getting clogged last year

Haven't had to use so far. Keeping in my pack as a backup incase my filter breaks or if water is looking "extra questionable".

Dislikes

None so far.

Haven't had to use these yet, fortunately

Likes

Name brand quality. I read up on all the chemical methods for water treatment that can remove viruses too. This ranks high! I hope I don't have to use these anytime soon. I guess we'll see.

Backup water purification

Likes

Simple backup purification. Each tablet filters a quart. Individually wrapped. Kills everything, including cryptosporidium if you wait the 4 hours. Weighs next to nothing, toss a few in my bag for pretty much every trip, whether it is in the backcountry or to a new city. Never know when you might need some drinkable water without trusting the source.

Dislikes

4 hours for FULL purification. This is the most stubborn of water parasites and such. Works better on clearer water, not freezing water. If you are in an absolute rush, it should be as effective as iodine within 30 minutes, but might taste bleach-y still.

Easy to bring, good as primary or backup water purification.

Likes

Compact, light, easy to bring, definitely something to bring along on any trip.

Dislikes

None that I've come across.

We got these as a back up to our filter in case it fails on the trail. We'll be glad to have them if we ever need them.

Better than the iodine...if you can plan

Likes

No taste, no smell, no yellow color left behind in my Platypus. Will use these again.

Dislikes

You need to wait 4 hours for the product to work effectively. As long as you plan appropriately, this is OK.
