Water Purification Tablets Military 50 Pk.

50 individually packaged Aquamira Chlorine Dioxide water treatment tablets.  This is currently the best tablet chemical water treatment available to purify water for drinking. More effective than other tablet forms such as Iodine and without the bad taste! A two part system that works much more quickly than other tablets. Purifies even murky, muddy, warm, or very cold water! If you suspect very small viruses in the water, chemical treatment will do the job where most filters won’t. Contrary to what its name sounds like, this is not a chlorine tablet and will not taste or smell like chlorine.

Chlorine dioxide? Is it safe?
Yes, this is the chemical widely used in many municipal water systems to provide pure drinking water for the public. It is much safer than iodine and actually improves the taste of drinking water. This product actually has an indefinite shelf life as long as the integrity of the foil packaging is kept.  But due to government regulations the company has to put a 3 year expiration on the package.

"Chlorine dioxide, a well established disinfectant. Chlorine dioxide is iodine and chlorine free. The unique formula works by releasing nascent oxygen, a highly active form of oxygen, which is a strong oxidant and a powerful germicidal agent. Chlorine dioxide has been used by municipal water treatment plants to kill a variety of waterborne pathogens since the late 1940s. Unlike free chlorine (familiar as household bleach) or other halogen chemicals (such as iodine), chlorine dioxide does not create potentially harmful by-products."
