'Bout time. CA often seems to be asleep at the switch for some reason. I got some a few weeks ago in Tacoma, so it is now (as Joey would say), a moo point. Thanks...

ArmyRangerRick,

I just noticed that you wrote that you got these from a US supplier. Why don't you ask your supplier if they are legal for sale in the US? And since it seems that Aquatabs aren't certified for sale as a water purifier in the US (and Medentech's website and Doug seem to bear that out), I'm curious why there is a US supplier for Aquatabs? That seems odd.

I think that may have been the original silver-ion based Micropur. That being discussed here is a totally different product using chlorine dioxide.

The question about using Clorox for water purification caused me to go to the Clorox website. Here is what I found: "When boiling water is not possible in an emergency situation, you can disinfect your drinking water with Clorox." They recommend eight (8) drops per gallon.

Remember to use UN-scented Clorox (or equivilant)
a neighbor used rose scented and all his water smelled like a rose bed <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

My wife once paid good money for water that smelled/tasted like berries, maybe I should give this a try...
