If anyone insists on still using Iodine, consider getting some Nuun electrolyte replacement tablets to mask the Iodine taste. These tablets are usually packaged in a vial of 12 and in different fruit flavors.


I'm fully converted to filters. Too much non-biological junk in the water and no chemcial taste.

I do still have two bottles of polarpure wrapped in allumnium foil and mylar in storage for emergencies. (that stuff eats through regular ziplocs and mylar bags).
