Camping and travel

Away from home, the water you find cannot be trusted on sight, a stream on a trek, a tap in a remote village, or a bottle refilled from an unknown source. A few small tablets weigh almost nothing and turn that uncertain water into water that is safe to drink.

The smallest tablet sizes are made for exactly this, a single bottle or a small container treated on the move, so a traveller, a hiker, or a family on the road always has clean water without carrying heavy equipment.

For the northern trails, a long bus journey, or a pilgrimage where the next clean tap is uncertain, a strip of tablets is the lightest insurance a traveller can carry. It means the water from a roadside cooler or a mountain stream can be made safe on the spot, without a filter to clean or a stove to boil.

The right tablet size and the short wait time for the volume you are treating are printed on the pack, and should always be followed as directed.
