Potable Aqua Water Treatment Tablets
Be Prepared!
Used worldwide by campers, hikers, militaries, emergency organizations, and anyone else who needs to drink water of questionable quality, these Portable Aqua iodine tablets will disinfect contaminated drinking water in a pinch. The tablets--which are intended for short-term or limited emergency use only--make most water bacteriologically suitable for drinking, proving effective against Giardia lamblia when used as directed.
Each Potable Aqua tablet contains 20 mg of Tetraglycine Hydroperiodide (TGHP), which liberates 8 mg of titratable iodine when released into water. Within 30 minutes, the iodine will have penetrated the cell walls of the microorganisms, rendering them inactive and making the water safe to drink.
For use only when drinking water is of questionable quality. Is not for use on a continuous basis. Read the complete product label and follow all directions for use.
Features:
- Potable Aqua Tablets make questionable water bacteriologically safe to drink.
- Proven effective against Giardia Lamblia when used as directed.
- Treats 25 Liters or Quarts. Ready in 30 minutes.
- Ideal for Hiking, Backpacking, Emergency preparation, Emergency response and travel.
- Used by Militaries and emergency organizations worldwide.
Easy and Reliable to Use
Easy to use
Potable Aqua Water Purification Tablets are as easy as 1, 2, 3. No need to filter, stir or suck.
1) Drop 2 tablets into 1 quart or liter of water, cap loosely and wait 5 minutes.
2) Shake container to sanitize screw threads, then tighten cap.
3) Wait 30 minutes, then drink!
Note: Refer to complete product instructions for use.
Reliable Backup and Compliment to Filters
In addition to being a great stand alone purification product, Potable Aqua's small size, low price, and reliability make it the ideal backup and compliment for any filter or purification device.
In cold temperatures filter membranes and mechanisms can rupture or break without your knowledge. Potable Aqua tablets are unaffected by freeze thaw.
Bacteriological Purity at point of use
Water purified at the source can be re-infected by the container it is transported in. Potable Aqua tablets, when used as directed, help protect against recontamination in the container so your water remains safe to drink at the point of use.
Bring on outdoor adventures, traveling, or just be prepared at home.
Perfect to use with outdoor activities
Whether camping, canoeing, hunting or engaging in any outdoor activity, it pays to be mindful of your water supply. All Potable Aqua water purification products are lightweight, take up very little space and when used correctly will protect you from a host of bacteria and parasites.
Be safe traveling internationally
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that between 30% and 70% of international travelers suffer some form of Traveler's Diarrhea (TD), calling TD 'the most predictable travel-related illness'. The most common causes of water-borne TD are bacteria, such as E. coli, cholera and salmonella, which are reduced or eliminated by Potable Aqua water purification products.
Be prepared for emergencies and disasters
As hurricanes and tsunamis tragically demonstrate, the first things to get knocked out by natural disasters are the electrical grid and the water supply. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) an adult needs a minimum of a half-gallon of water per day just for drinking. So a family of four would require roughly two gallons per day of purified water.
Do Potable Aqua tablets have an Expiration Date?
Yes, An unopened bottle of Potable Aqua is good for 4 years.
To calculate the EXP date please see the date of manufacture noted in the lot code printed on the label. The lot code is comprised of month, year, and lot number, such as 51507. This bottle was made in May of 2015 and expires in May of 2019.
Use your Potable Aqua tablets for one year after the bottle is first opened, then discard.

Very fast shipping and packaging is just like the picture but haven't opened or tried them yet so will have to wait and see. I did read adding vitamin c in the water can help neutralize the iodine taste but only after 34 minutes when the iodine is finished working/purifying.********************************************************************Some other comments about it on the internet....The chemical name for vitamin C is ascorbic acid. When Iodine and ascorbic acid are combined in solution, a chemical reaction takes place. In this chemical reaction, the ascorbic acid molecule loses electrons, which are transferred to the iodine molecule. Chemists call this type of reaction an oxidation/reduction reaction (or redox reaction for short). The ascorbic acid is oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid, and the iodine is reduced to Iodide ions. Oxidation-reduction reactions always occur in pairs like this. The molecule that loses electrons is oxidized, and the molecule that accepts the electrons is reduced.************************************************************************Guess what else - it is an instantaneous chemical reaction. The ascorbic acid complexes the iodine on contact, removing both taste and color. Try it in a clear container. Watch the color disappear entirely before your eyes in a heartbeat when you invert the container to mix it. That color change tells you it's done.There is an important caveat: it only takes a VERY tiny amount (fits easily on the tip of a knife blade) of ground-up vitamin C tablet to do this in an entire gallon of water. Be advised that you will always add more than you really needed. No big deal UNLESS you forget to thoroughly rinse the water container before you add iodine the next time.

There are two major approaches to purifying contaminated water: you can try to trap sediment and microorganisms via a filter, or you can use various methods to sterilize the water by killing anything living in it.For absolute safety, some recommend doing both, so I'm not going to sit and compare tablets to a pump filter, as they are different mechanisms of purification that aren't necessarily competitors. In fact, regardless of how you kill the bugs in your water, I recommend at the very least running the water through a cloth/bandana first as a first step in removing dirt and larger microorganisms.That gives these tablets three major competitors...The first, and cheapest, competitor is good old-fashioned boiling of water. In fact, boiling kills most things that some chemicals might not even get to. The downside, of course, is the need to start a fire, wait, and boil water. Good if you're camping overnight and prepping for the next day, but not so great if you need to fill up in the middle of a several-hour trek. If you're the kind of person who carries a mini-burner and a stove-top anyway, you probably don't need these tablets.The second, and most expensive, competitors are the UV light devices that sterilize using light. It sounds like nonsense, but it does in fact work. The problem is the cost and reliability. Sure, it can be argued that if you break down the cost per liter of water of a sterilizing pen is actually lower than using tablets, but that's only assuming that you actually get the maximum number of cycles that the manufacturer claims it is good for, and it ignores the cost of the batteries and the reliability of the products. From my experience (luckily, not with gear that I had to pay for), the SteriPEN is finicky from time to time. Unless you're doing light day-hikes, I wouldn't rely on batteries and electronics to hold up. Especially over years of hard use and being banged around in a backpack. It's nice having neat technology to show off, but nobody will be impressed when your magic light is broken and you're crapping your pants (literally).The third source of competition is other tablets/drops. There are several types, and while some tout better flavor, more effectiveness, etc, it really comes down to whether it'll kill the bugs in whatever area you're hiking. In other words: most of them are the same unless you're headed to an area with a very specific rare microorganism that certain tablets won't kill. These have held up for me through years of trekking on four different continents. That's quite good enough for me. The taste, sure, is a bit off, but it's nothing unbearable. Between tablets, I don't have much of a preference, but I do prefer tablets over liquid drops, as they're easier to carry and use.
