The seller for this product is rasing the price on what should be an inexpensive product. Take the time and google search the product online and you will see that this should be sold for half the price of what it is listed for on here. Save some money and buy elsewere.

Save your money. You can find these exact tablets in Wal-Mart cheaper and there's no shipping. Amazon should figure a way to combine shipping costs better to sell the small things like this. Unless you live a hundred miles off the beaten path, go to a major retailer and get these. On the plus side, these are excellent in an emergency kit as anticeptic for cuts. Just take a couple of tablets and dilute them in a little water and you can sterilize minor wounds.

* I'm trying different 'purification' products, until I review them all and will be posting my findings sometime this year. There are different Water Purification methods and approaches that have already been discussed on Reviews & the Forums, so I hope to be more "Region-specific", since I live in the Tropics. I'm also reviewing some Emergency Water Filtration products and I'm really interested in the Good to Excellent Filtering + Small form factor + Lightweight product lines, so if any of you have any 'real-world' recommendations, please share your info here. Thanks!

Twenty-five plus years ago I bought a bottle of these vile little tablets to take on a weekend backpacking trip. Water was plentiful in the area but the quality was unknown. I filled my first canteen from a stream and added "Non-potable Aqua". The result was so unpleasant, I would have preferred dehydration or diarrhea to the taste of the water treated with this awful stuff.
These things make water foul, putrid, undrinkable. Luckily I had no ill effects from drinking raw stream water during my weekend. I could not handle the iodized pill-water. Immediately upon returning home, I bought a filtration system and used it for the remainder of my backpacking endeavors. The canteen I used with these pills never lost the iodine smell so I had to trash it.
I could be overly sensitive to the iodine taste. I don't know. I do know I will never forget the experience and I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER allow these pills anywhere near me again. Immediately do an Amazon search for portable water filtration systems and buy one of those instead of these horrible pills.

These are a Must for everyone to have in an Emergency kit.
I have set up a Earthquake Emergency Survival kit in my Garage.
This is one of the first things I purchased, as Water/H2O is essential to survial.
Small bottles are easy to store. Purchase a Case so you have enough.
Earthquake Emergencys may damage local supply of water forcing you to find water in streams.
In an Emergency such as a Flood your local water may become fouled with various yucky things.
These Iodine Tablets will get rid of harmful bacteria it may not make it look like evian, but you will survive and not with some bugs/bacteria inside you.
