Dislikes: No complaints
Joel F. – Cuyahoga Falls OH 7/28/2012
Likes: Does the job effectively, says on the packaging that it takes 4 hours to kill all bacteria, but most of them are killed after about 20 minutes or so. With this stuff I can leave my pump filter at home and save some weight. I have changed over to using this as my primary water treatment method. Leaves minimal aftertaste.

Likes: It is effective against Viruses, Bacteria, Giardia and Cryptosporidium. The aftertaste is minimal, and the product is a good value for the money.
Dislikes: nothing
Anonymous Backcountry Edge Customer 9/25/2010
Likes: Very convenient back up for water purification. I carry a filter pump and then bring a couple of these tablets along as a back up. You can't beat the weight or compactness of these tablets.
Dislikes: they take 4 hours to work so you need to plan out your water needs carefully when using these tablets especially if you want them to be your primary purification method.
steven p. – mcdonough GA 7/19/2009
Likes: Never got sick so it must work...
Dislikes: Takes 4hrs to work and still has a bad taste...
art s. – hobe sound FL 3/4/2009
Likes: Well we used it and were not sick, so i guess it works.
Dislikes: The chlorine taste is pretty strong so we add a "lemon powder" so mask the taste. it works...It is a bit expensive.

Zoomify would go here, or a larger image... This is a temporary placeholder... The settup of this may change depending on whether we are in fact using Zoomify.
Rotate SWF would go here... Greg will reconfigure this after we have an actual example. This is just a place holder.
