Mike M member Registered: 08/17/03 Posts: 23 Loc: Alexandria, VA	It depends how the water treatment product was used. Giardia has a cyst stage that is difficult to inactivate if you use chemical water treatment incorrectly. You need at least 60 minutes contact time with many chlorine based treatments to inactivate the cysts.
