Micropur MP1 tablets release chlorine dioxide, the same substance used in municipal drinking water plants worldwide. So not only is the water safe to drink, it also tastes great. Tablets are individually sealed for longest shelf life (5 years). Each of the 30 tablets included treats 1 liter of water. Wait time is as follows: 15 minutes for Viruses and Bacteria in all water, 30 minutes for Crypto and Giardia in normal water (60ºF, clear water), and 4 hours for Crypto in worst case water (39º F, very dirty, slightly acidic water, i.e. the kind you'd want to double pump with a purifier).

Only once have I had a filter fail, and I was glad I brought these. Easy to use, they weigh nothing and they kill everything, including crypto. The taste is minimal; open your bottle and let the air at it to lessen the taste. I like filter water directly into my water bladder, and then toss 2 Micropurs in on day 3 or 4 of a backpacking trip to clean it. A great product.

I always keep a few with my while hiking, backpacking and fly fishing. If something happens to my filter or I run out of water I know that I can use these and be safe.

Bought as a backup for backpacking in case my primary filtration fails, have yet to use them but for the price it's an added comfort in the backcountry.

Purification time for everything is 4 hours. From what I can tell works great. We always have there in the pack and even keep some at home just incase.

A stable in any emergency kit. Also really handy on long trail runs where carrying a pump doesn't make sense. I would highly recommend keeping a couple of these packets in your bag.

Why carry the extra weight of a pump? these tablets work great and really don't have much of a taste. They are perfect for backpacking. I treat a gallon a day with them every trip I go on. Beats bending over a river and working a pump for 5 minutes.

I bought these for my emergency kit, both for on the trail and at home... just in case!

These tablets are essential for treating water in the backcountry. They don't taste horrible, and they work quickly at killing most virus and bacteria. The individually perforated tablet packages make it easy to pack just the right amount for any trip.

I often double up on filtration when I'm pulling water from questionable sources. Typically I've used a sawyer and iodine when I'm extra paranoid. These work better than iodine and don't taste bad. It's worth the piece of mind in situations where you absolutely cannot get sick.

These are the best for out in the wild when water either isn't readily available or you are too tired to pump with your filter (we've all been there). Taste is honestly not bad at all and doesn't stain your camelbak bladder or nalgene dark brown like other iodine tablets I've used in the past. I always have a couple packs of these stashed in my backpacks and car and of course always bring them in addition to my water filtration system on backpacking trips. For sure recommend!

My brother used some of these on a recent trip and said they worked well - taste OK and he didn't get sick - so I bought some for myself to throw in a bug out bag and have generally for a backpacking trip coming up.

I only use these as a backup to my filter. I've used Aqua Mira before and like it, but these tablets are handy. I'm going to stay with Aqua Mira for long hikes and continue to use these tablets periodically, but not as my primary method of purifying water.

In any situation you might need some good water and of course water is essential for us to live. Have not used these Pure tablets, but you know I will!

I purchased these when I was doing the Salkantay Trek in Peru. They are small and easy to pack. Water tastes better than most other purifying tabs.

I typically come prepared enough on the water purification front to not need tablets, but always carry them for back-up. I have only had to use these once, but I was 16 miles from the nearest city on a 260+ mile hike and this got my up and over the pass without getting any nasty tummy bugs. I have used other types of purification tablets and these bar far had the least taste when the water was ready to drink. A big bonus for tablets, as taste is one of my least favorite aspects of having to use tablets. A must as a back-up to a quality water filter.

Just in case the filter breaks these are a great backup option; Light, packable, and minimal taste.

I got these for a canyoneering trip down to Escalante, UT just in case the Miox Purifier and Katadyn Vario both failed from the very silty river water. I ended up not needing them which is fine with me. I'll just hold onto these for an emergency water purification situation. It's always good to be prepared!
