Aquamira Water Treatment Drops 1 Oz

We've used Aqua Mira to purify drinking water while backpacking and camping for many years. It does not improve discoloration or particles suspended in the water as a pump filter would, but it does get rid of other nasties in backwoods streams and actually improves the taste of water, in my opinion. Simple to mix and use, and no boiling required. Also very light to carry.

This stuff works well. I stored water way beyond the recommended duration with this stuff in it, and it was still fine years after the date it was supposed to be preserved for. YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY. I recommend you follow instructions and always stay within the guidelines. Store the product bottles carefully... if they break open, the concentrated contents can be corrosive to metals. Yes, I would highly recommend this product and will continue to buy it as needed.

We have been using this to treat the fountain water our dogs drink from.

Used them in conjunction with the Sawer Squeeze... taste better than any tablets I have used and better than some city water I have drank.... allowed me to drink water from some shady spots... didn't get sick... will use them again.

only downsize, experienced leaking while hiking at altitude

Doesn’t leave the flakey residue like the pills do

Used product to add to water pump from natural water sources in the outdoors hiking . Many different water sources and Hiking through Farmland with livestock. Use the product for extra precaution for cleansing and purification of any residual bacteria protozoa . Product work very good. of course the chlorine taste isn't very good not sure anything can be done about that. The chlorine taste is tolerable but not pleasant. Opening each tablet package cumbersome because the tablets are so small you can drop them and lose them. If possible a small container where one tablet can be pushed out at a time would be easier to dispense especially during hiking and outdoor use when your hands are very dirty because there is limited hand-washing available. I assume the package this way because moisture contamination and deterioration of the tablets Making packaging tricky.

A simple and compact way to chlorinate water. The two 1oz bottles are small making system ideal for through-hiking or backpacking where carrying water is not practical and there are natural water sources like creeks, rivers and lakes. Put 7 drops of chlorine dioxide (Part A) and 7 drops of phosphoric acid (Part B) into white cap, swirl cap and wait 5 minutes. Chemicals will turn yellow and you will smell the chlorine. Add to a liter/quart of water and stir. After 15 minutes the water is ready to drink. I use Aquamira drops in conjunction with my MSR AutoFlow Gravity Water Filter. The filter takes care of particulates and bacteria and I chlorinate to kill viruses. I filter and then chlorinate. There is no detectable taste or smell of chlorine in the water after treatment.
