Some reviews have stated that their product was old and expired. Are these new? And how long would they last in my BOB? Thank you

Per the product description: 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.

How many gallons of clean water will the bottle give?

2 tablets per quart ready in 35 min. 50 tabs per bottle so one bottle should treat25 quarts remember to strain water first to get the solids out (like rain water from roof)

is there any unusual taste to treated water and should it be filtered?

very little unusual taste on the treated water and i don't think there is enough contaminates for it to be filtered. if you see anything bulk in the water, then by all means go ahead and filter it.

What are the dimensions of the bottle?

Robby, the bottle is about three inches tall & a bit larger around as your little finger. We have found that you can pack this type of bottle just about anywhere because of this size. It takes up minimal space.

I love the fact that this purifier is in such a small container that you can carry it wherever you go. brilliant

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.
