Works on cleaning up your water

I bought this and tested it without the plastic bag that accompanies it. I tested it on several different water sources and it did exactly what it says. The coagulation was kinda fun for people to watch. Getting the right skiing was a bit difficult at first. It advertises that the package is for 2.5 gallons, but I don’t carry around a 2.5 gallon bag or a 3 gallon bucket to purify out in the woods. I usually have a 1 liter or 1.5 liter bottle. Since I also don’t carry a gram scale with me, converting the 2.5 gallon package for a 1.5 liter bottle took some trial and error that I found rather taxing. I chose to error on the side of caution and went slightly heavier to avoid getting sick. While this did seem to work, the chlorine taste was a bit stronger than I expected and made drinking it a little difficult (no worse than those nasty chlorine purification tablets though). It really seems like these are only designed to support the accompanying 2.5 gallon bag. However, when/if you choose to purchase that, shaking 2.5 gallons of water for several minutes, and doing this a few times, becomes VERY difficult. These work great when you buy a scale, do the math figuring out that each gallon is 3.8 liters and then how much powder you need for your bottle, but short of that it’s anyone’s guess if you got the right amount for the size bottle you’re MUCH more likely to be carrying in an outdoor situation. I would like to see packets for something more reasonable like at least a 1 liter size, maybe a 1.5 liter size (.5 liter possibly but that might be asking too much?). However, under ideal conditions this really is a great product and I would still recommend it. P and G, please consider a more versatile option for real world application. I’m not gonna carry a 2.5 gallon bag of water with me on a hiking trip where I may need to purify water along the way

We tried the P&G and the Chlor-Floc on a four-day hike in the Grand Canyon, with two nights on the Colorado River. The river water was thick with sediments. The first difference is that P&G packets are for 10 liters and Chlor-Floc packets are for 1 liter. The second difference is that we preferred the P&G because the sediment stayed on the bottom of the bucket while we skimmed clear water off the top, while the Chlor-Floc sediment stirred up into the clear water at the slightest touch. But this doesn't matter if you use a better technique. With the P&G, bring two 10-liter collapsible buckets (Sea to Summit makes these). With Chlor-Floc bring two 1 liter Nalgeens. Bring a filter with a large opening and bring a cheesecloth. Pour 9 liters of water from the first bucket to second, filtering out the sediment, and toss the final liter. Then, after 30 minutes, add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to neutralize the chlorine. Finally, I filtered the water with my Grayl to remove the chemicals and kill any bacteria or viruses that might have survived the chlorine.

Awesome

En Puerto Rico es parte del día a día que el servicio de agua potable sea interrumpido casi a diario y estos purificadores son una necesidad

It worked to clean pond water, and it was quick enough to hold the attention of 8 and 9 year olds. We used this for a Girl Scouts Brownie Wonders of Water Journey demonstration, where we talked about how not every girl has access to clean water and sometimes they have to walk awhile just to get dirty water that can make them sick. We met at a local reservoir with a beach, so they could go to the water and collect it safely in buckets. The water was pretty gross: yellow and full of sand and other floating bits. (You can see the before in the back of the photo, and the after in the bottom.) We poured it into a clear container so they could watch it work and take turns stirring for five minutes. Within a few minutes after stirring, most of the gunk had already sunk to the bottom. Even other adults and kids playing nearby had stopped to watch. We filtered it through a cotton shirt and it caught all the waste and left completely clear water. The water had a faint chlorine smell. I did taste it as part of the demo with a very small sip and it reminded me of drinking water from a hose as a kid. It's possible the taste would be diluted if we had actually spread the packet out over the 10 liters it says you can use one packet for instead of the smaller amount of water we did. Would I want to chug this? Not really, but I felt safe drinking it. I'll keep the other packets in our emergency gear to have on hand in case of natural disasters.

Llego rápido y bien embalado, lo compre en caso de emergencia por si se pierden mis brigadistas es pequeñito y no pesa nada, da perfecto en el botiquín. Es un producto caro no es para usar constantemente por el precio.

Achtung. Es werden 14 Päckchen angeboten. Geliefert wurden aber nur 12 Päckchen.

No los he probado, pondria 5 estrellas solamente porque no duran muchos años en resguardo. Seria perfecto que durara mas años para tenerlo guardado en caso de emergencias y eso mismo afecta que no compres más si tu intension es tenerlo guardado por mucho tiempo. De ahi en fuera todo bien.
