When I discovered that ALL BOTTLES had gone bad after investing $150 in these tablets, I was astounded to say the least! After spending $150 on these tablets, I was shocked to discover that not one but ALL of the bottles had gone bad! To begin with, we live in Arizona, so our humidity level is quite low compared to other states. As you can see in my photos, there was no sign of water or any other elements from the outside causing the damage. The rods literally appear to have corroded from the inside! I bought the product only 3 years ago, and it claims to have a shelf life of 4 years. There was no reason for these to go According to me, purchasing such a product is similar to buying an insurance policy. An emergency's value is the benefit, which is provided when an emergency situation occurs. The shelf life of these tablets lasts far beyond their advertised expiration date. There are other options out there, and I recommend looking into them!.
These tablets are perfect for me. Portable and easy to use, they are portable and easy to carry. For a Liter (32 fl oz) of water, use 2 tablets, or for a 500mL (*16 fl oz) of water, use 1 tablet. I bought these since I had run out of the potable aqua treatment tablets I had ordered from Dick's Sporting goods. It is ideal for use in the winter when water will freeze in my filtration system, and I will no longer be able to use it. These items can also be carried around in small kits, so you don't have to worry about taking too much weight or space when you go on vacation. *Please note that these will also breeze through TSA without causing any issues.
Just a friendly reminder to those who decide to buy Iodine is used in the preparation of Water Purification tablets, therefore their use in untreated water will turn the water a light yellow shade It is brown in You don't have to worry about it because it's the Iodine's natural reaction to Also, if you got the iodine right, your water may taste funny as well, it is likely the taste of the iodine. It's a good idea to drop a tablet in a bottle filled with regular sink water, sip a few sips, and get familiar with the taste before using it out in the field or even when you need it in an emergency.
I would not recommend buying. There was no paper backing to the package when it arrived. We do not need bottles. There is no way for me to return it & I need a refund but I don't know who to contact. The rip-off is on!.
Does it have an expired date on it, and the packaging is taped and damaged? I can't even give 1 star to this. This is a major It is embarrassing that such a message was sent. The packaging indicates it is expired, but it looks like it has been opened and closed several times. Opening the packaging caused the product to fall out right away after it was taped up. The people are really nice. There should never be a situation like this. This product needs to be returned. It's for consumption, so it should be brand new and unopened. The bottle has a paper label, but I doubt anyone would trust that. I'm sorry to say this, but someone had to say it. That product is being returned to the seller.
They do exactly what they are supposed to. Several points of the box are worthy of quoting before I review, so here goes. The following are the first two points Use this device only when drinking water is suspected to be contaminated from a bacteriological standpoint. It should not be kept in continuous operation. six-month commitment A week is the 2. )
If the bottle is not opened, it will remain effective for 4 (You can find details on how to date your tablet at the bottom of this review. Then 3)*. One year or less is the maximum amount of time you should keep an opened bottle. The 4th point is the most important. One quart of water can be made bacteriologically safe to drink using 2 tablets. The fifth point is an emphasis. When used as directed, this product increases resistance to Giarda Lamblia. This sixth point represents the main point. Cryptosporidium cysts have not been found to be inactivated by this agent. You will be just fine if you follow the directions and use the 50 tablets. Per quart of water, you should use two tablets. My preferred method when the water is murky is to There is an active ingredient in this product called There are six tablets in a box and each tablet contains 7%. I opened a bottle and drank three quarts of water from the Ohio River just to be sure. This is the same stuff I used in the military, but just to be sure I took a sample of it and tested it out. Things that are murky. Potable Aqua (2-quart was used solely in the first quart Half a tablet). After boiling the second quart for ten minutes, it was strained. Two Potable Aqua tablets were then added to third quart after it was boiled for ten minutes. Filtration first occurred through an untreated handkerchief in order to remove debris and sediment from the water. My measurements were three quarts prior to boiling, so I'm sure some of the water was lost during the boiling process in the last two quarts. How did it turn out? All of it was not as good as tap water, but I managed to survive. The first batch (just Potable Aqua) was fine. My memory of Potable Aqua is that it had a bad taste so bad that they provided a separate bottle of pills to add that made it There is no need for that other bottle There was definitely a chemical taste to the water, but if I needed to drink a gallon a day, I could do it. Compared to the first batch (just boiling, no pills), the second batch had a more pleasant taste, but an unpleasant smell. Aside from the essential amount of alcohol, I would hesitate to drink more. I have to admit that the third batch (boiled, then treated with Potable Aqua) was the best. Considering boiling took only ten minutes and that I used a metal water bottle, this is the most cost-effective method. It's important to keep in mind that all of the water was filtered through a handkerchief first to remove any sediments, debris, bugs, etc.
I presume one tablet will be sufficient if you filter the water, boil it, and then use the tablets. As a SERE operator and a user of these tablets for more than fifteen years, despite not being a doctor or dietician, I have extensive training in SERE operations and have used I want to know when my pills were made. How can I do that? The labels of each bottle contain a series of numbers. Here are some examples It is accompanied by a month number The fourth month of the year is April in this case. In the second and third numbers, the last two numbers of the year are reflected 2003 is the year in question. Made in April of 2003, they are the product of a contract manufacturer. As you can see, the last three numbers (127) indicate that this was the 127th batch made during that timeframe. There can be a maximum of five or six numbers in the code It is always the month and year that are shown in the first three digits A batch number can usually be found in the last two or three digits.
As far as I know, I have not used them yet since they are in my apocalypse bag (which more people should have and less people should make fun of because seriously, how dumb is it to be prepared, no matter what the hobby is. Hobby expenses can add up. It is a hobby that has caused my wife and children to leave me since I wake up constantly at 5 a. m. and 7 a. m. practice incendiary drills in case bandits with grenades pounce or whatever). Still, I'm glad to have them even for peace.
More times than I can count, I have used this for myself and other people. Unlike rainbows and sunshine, they do work, but they do not taste that good. If you're going to be outside for any length of time, you should keep some sunscreen on hand. I liked to carry them by cutting a cheap ballpoint pen in half and filling the pen tube with caplets, then covering the top of the tube with duct tape. Seeing how much I had left gave me peace of mind and the ability to keep them dry, organized, and free of crushing at the same time. When repackaged, they take up very little space. Anyone traveling to a remote area should review this guide.
