Review: 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: Hard to know how these will work out as I put them in 5 gal water storage jugs, (10 tabs per jug) and don’t plan on drinking the water unless there is an emergency. They are a little hard to get out of their individual packages, but that is understandable to keep them from getting exposed to any moisture. Gave the 4 stars just because I haven’t tasted the water.

## 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.

It arrived aa expected. I used it once since and am pleased with the experience. I did not independently test the water pre vs post treatment for bacteria. (I do not own that kind of equipment.) But the water tasted fine and no unpleasant effects.
