Water Security
Using these offers security from bugs but the cost is that they do taste the water slightly.

Great price point
Well, suffice it to say that these are for the bug out bag (or the 72 hr bushfire survival kit if you don’t like the TEOTWAWKI implications). So, can’t review them yet, and if I ever do have to use them, chances are that online reviews will be the last thing on my mind.
Great price point for something I hope to never have to use though.

Stayed healthy
Well I didn't get sick from drinking creek or tank water from the Connondale National Park with the aquatabs added so I guess that means they work!

Healthy water
It felt so good after having these added to my water. I certainly felt the difference and it was much more refreshing! A handy pack to have when travelling!

Aquatabs
I bought these for my 13 year old son who was going on a Scout tramp for 2 nights and was concerned about the water quality. They gave him peace of mind when he was tramping that the water he was drinking was safe to drink.

Aquatabs
The Aquatabs worked well on our hike. We were hiking through Carnarvan gorge and there were areas where there was untreated water.

Purified water aplenty!
Purchased for Kokoda track hike. Used them at every fill up from the creeks and rivers and never got ill. I also barely noticed a taste from them. An absolute necessity if your water source is a bit sketchy.
