Review title: Lightweight and effective...
Product review: One has to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of this product based on one's needs or requirements. IMO, the pros and cons are...Pros: These tabs weigh only a few ounces, but can treat up to 20 liters.They are very effective at killing off viruses, bacteria, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium(EPA accepted). This product is great if you can't build a fire or boil water.Cons: One tab for one liter so unless you stock up, you can only support one person for 5 days if you use 1 gal. or 4 liters per day for roughly $10. Compare this to 96oz(~56000 drops) of Clorox for $4 and it only takes 16 drops to treat 1gal. of water. Katadyn claims that their tabs leave virtually no taste to the water, but I disagree. There is a very strange taste in the water that is less tolerable than chlorine IMO. Minimum treatment time is 30 minutes for both.Alternative: Boil water for 5 minutes at any desired quantity at virtually no cost! :)
