What I like about these water treatment tablets is as follows:
- long shelf life means I'm only replacing these every 5 years
- low cost means I can afford to replace them every 5 years
- small size, 30 tablets takes almost no room in my 72 hour kit and they weigh almost nothing
- individually wrapped tablets so the unused tablets aren't exposed to the environment when I use one
- each tablet treats 1 quart of water which is a manageable size for me
I plan on adding something like the "Katadyn Hiker PRO Water Microfilter" to my kit to provide additional options.
One pack of these tablets is enough for 30 liters, or about 8 gallons of water. Rationed wisely, that's enough for one person for about a week. Not bad for 15 bucks. Full disclosure, my recent purchase had 40 tablets in a sealed case labeled 30. Is this intentional or just a happy coincidence? Don't know, don't care. Tested one tablet for flavor and its slightly chemical but not unsavory. Better than most iodine-based purification tabs on the market or that I used in the Army. I only waited about 2 hours or so before I had a sip though, and everything I've read is that the flavor mellows with more time. Besides, its nothing that a pack of Crystal Light can't fix.
Katadyn is the Cadillac of the water-purification market and their products are always top-notch. It may seem pricey to drop so much on purification tabs, but come crunch-time, you'll be glad you have them.
Instructions are a little confusing as they contradict themselves on one issue -- the instructions state not for cryptosporidium, but also state that standing time for cryptosporidium is 4 hours. ("Destroys viruses and bacteria in 15 min., Giardia in 30 min. and Cryptosporidium in 4 hrs.").
Only once did I sense any odor from the treatment and we suspect we might have caused it by accidentally treating that liter of water two times. No discoloration of water (perhaps our biggest complaint about iodine tx), easy to use, clear instructions (save the one discrepancy), easy-to-use packaging, extremely lightweight, and very compact. What's not to love?
These are a very easy way to keep the hydration packs in good order. I like them better than the drops only because they are so lightweight that I can keep them in my pack and drop one in when I fill up, even if I am not at home. This ensures that I won't forget to treat the water later and that the water will be usable when I need it.
The effect on flavor is minimal - in a 3L hydration pack, I can just barely taste the chlorine even if I have used three tabs. Easier to control the dose with these than drops. Unlike drops, though, It typically takes ~6h for them to dissolve completely before they are effective, which for me isn't a problem, but would likely be troublesome if you were in a spot. Recall that I use these for preservation, not purification; the water I am working with is typically tap water or something out of the spigot outside, so I can't comment on their ability to treat water from a completely natural source like a stream.
I can say, however, that they work quite well for preservation. I treated a transparent 2L hydration pack which I habitually leave sitting on a shelf in the light for months at a time. Previously, the water would go bad within 4m or so, no matter how I cleaned the bladder. This time, it has been sitting several months - through three seasons almost - and the water is still completely clear. As such, I would recommend it for this purpose.
