Review: YES! EVERYONE NEEDS CLEAN DRINKING WATER! SNOWSTORM? TRAVEL? POWER OUTAGE? CAMPING? SURVIVAL - YOU NEED CLEAN WATER Love these. Great to have on hand at any time. Approved by the WHO organization for safety. I've done a lot of camping in the past and wish I had had these back then. We are getting 10 to 14in of snow this weekend and having these on hand has given me piece of mind. I dont know if it helps but if I feel I ate something bad or maybe a cold starting these seam to help take the edge of especially if you get food poisoning. Great price, practical, perfect for travel, survival preparedness, snowstorm, power outages, camping, 1 small tablet in a bottled water shake wait drink. Low odor. Smells like chlorine. Very convenient easy to take anywhere being a small light weight product. Should be in everyone's emergency survival kit. Thank you for a practical necessary easy to use affordable product!!!
Review: An absolute essential - I’m going to be blunt, every single person, every household, every camper, every adventurer, and yes, every American 12 and older should have these. No exceptions.

Whether you’re deep in the Alaskan bush, stranded after a storm, or just out camping and forgot your filter, these little tablets turn any questionable water into safe drinking water. They’re easy, fast, compact, and reliable, no fancy gear needed. I trust them completely, and I wouldn’t leave home without them. If you value safety, preparedness, and peace of mind, you buy these. End of story.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What do Aquatabs eliminate?**
A: Aquatabs have been independently tested, and are shown to effectively lower rates of waterborne illness by eliminating harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and giardia cysts.

**Q: What is the active ingredient in Aquatabs?**
A: Each Aquatab contains sodium dichloroisocyanurate, commonly referred to as NaDCC. Aquatabs dissolve to release a measured dose of hypochlorous acid (free available chlorine) that is universally recognized as a safe and effective water disinfectant.

**Q: Do Aquatabs contain Iodine?**
A: Aquatabs contain no iodine which make them safe for sensitive groups such as children, pets, and pregnant women.

**Q: Do Aquatabs expire?**
A: Aquatabs are shelf-stable and have a unique expiration date depending on the date of manufacture. We make sure to keep all listings up to date at all times with the current batch's expiration date.

**Q: Can Aquatabs be used on cloudy or turbid water?**
A: The more sediment or organic matter present in water, the more chances that microorganisms can “hide” from the chlorine disinfectant. If you only have access to cloudy water, follow the dosage table and use a smaller volume of water for each tablet.
