chemical water treatment
polar pure or aqua mira or poable aqua,i have used polar pure for over 4 years and used potable aqua tabs for over 15 years before that,i made the switch to aqua mire a month agoneo
I use polar pure, but it is starting to drive me nuts. The concentrated Iodine solution gets all over everything. This weekend I tried keeping it in a zip lock bag, but I still somehow managed to get Iodine on some things. Any Suggestions?
Chemical treatment
Used potable aqua for years, swapped to a filter, a Katadyn Mini, now using Aqua Mira when I'm trying to limit weight. Aqua Mira has some "whang" but ain't nearly as bad as potable aqua.
Me no care, me here free beer. Tap keg, please?
that's funny... i can't taste a thing, but my brother can... maybe it's genetic, like the people who can't taste the bitterness of brocolli, cauliflower, peas, beans, etc...Originally Posted by Two Speed
katadyn micropur mp1 tablets....the best in my opine
I like Aqua Mira and since I'm accustomed to municipal/county water I don't notice a big difference in the taste.

i dont really notice a chemical taste with aqua mira
Polar Pure. I think it is genetic. I had no problem with the taste of the water. My hiking partner, on the other hand, was always putting those single serve lemonade packets in his water. After the allotted time for disinfecting, of course. I do find the iodine solution does get all over the place, as stated above. Ziplock bag seemed to work good for me though.

aqua mira is in the lead
bleach is the only way to go. Two drops per quart, wait 15 minutes or so and then drink. I got the info off the ATC site and recommend others do too. I heard long exposure to iodine is bad for your thyroid. If I wasn't a cheap skate I would probably use aqua mira though.

And I've heard that bleach does not kill all the coties either.
