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.
