Here's a link to the US Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine web site. It lists a variety of purification products and rates the effectivness of each. You need to read the notes to understand why a product was rated like it was. Just another source to make an informed choice.

I agree that the best way is boiling and so does the EPA. That being said I use Medentech AQUATABS when traveling in South America and have always had good luck while others in my party got sick. I do bump up the wait time to 1 hour plus though. If I suspect an area has the dreaded cryptosporidium I'll take Katadyn Micropur or a mechanical filter

I believe this link was posted on the board some time ago but I'm old and banged my head on too many low branches

BTW: I have a 3 dozen packs of AQUATABS that expire in 2 years (too old for the kits I make and sell). If you want a couple of 10 tablet strips PM me with an address and I'll send them snail mail. First come first serve, free, no junk mail or anything else...really!!
