Great For Hiking!

This product was great to use when I went hiking, there was no after taste when using the germicidal tablets. Another great thing is the convenience, both in weight and the color coded containers. This is a great alternative for carrying around plastic water bottles or having to worry about the cleanliness of water I'm drinking.

Here's To Clean Water!!!!

I would recommend this product to anyone that ever goes outdoors! It is great and stands the test of time in hiking and backpacking and could save your life! It is easy to use, works fast to filter the water source and makes one feel confident in safe drinking water! Also fights against Giardia lamblia. This is a must have and can be kept in the car or backpack for any adventure or emergency!

Gets The Job Done...i Think

You can't really know if these products work until you find yourself sick from the river water. Didn't get sick! I had these tablets on hand as a back-up just in case my other filter stopped working. Ended up using these because I got impatient waiting for my other filter. Was pleasantly surprised by how not awful it tasted (to me anyways). Just tastes like water with a little bit of salt in it. Dropped them into my nalgene shook it up, waited 30 minutes an voila! I'll continue using this as my backup however.

You Better Listen

I have not used this product. However, I can tell you that you have not lived until you have had "Beaver Fever." You think you are dying. Then you really could. You can get it from the most crystal clear water. I gave it five stars for being a convenient way to prevent "Beaver Fever." Anybody who hunts, fishes, camps, hikes or spends time outdoors in any form should have a product like this.

Great For Camping

We brought these camping because we weren't sure of the water sources. We ended up using them for river water and it was perfectly drinkable. I would bring these even with a good water source because you never know when things might change.

Great Addition To A Bug-out-bag

I have not used them. We bough them to be an addition to bug-out-bags we gave as Christmas gifts to our kids and their spouses. They came well packaged and sealed.

Christmas Gift

For my sister and brother in-law on Florida. They asked for storm essentials. I added this to their list. I will let you know after Christmas again.

Needed For Emergency Kit

Tablets reduced weight of kit by removing the need to carry large amounts of water.

Great Backup System!

I have used these on several occasions while camping in the Shenandoah. I always bring them as back ups or if I can't use my steripen. With the neutralizing tablet, you can't taste any of the iodine. I will continue to carry this on every trip for peace of mind.

Reliable & Lightweight

I've been using these tablets long before I became an ambassador and have had nothing but positive experiences. They are a lightweight and reliable way to treat water, and I have used them on drinking water from the high alpine of Colorado to the Daxue mountains of China. I always stash a bottle in every pack, just in case!

Potable Aqua Review

Recently on my website HikingForward I raffled some of Potable Aqua's products out to my readers. Mrs. Tamara Deane from North Carolina won the prize pack. Below is her comments concerning the products. Tim Deane ( my husband) and I have been hiking for several years as individuals and only recently together. We both have used different methods of getting clean drinking water. He has shared with me that the drops and tablets were effective but had left a unpleasant color and taste. So I have steered clear of using them. Recently I was gifted with an awesome opportunity to use the Potable Aqua system that I won from Hiking Forward during a kayak/camping weekend trip on Douglas Lake TN. Not only was it easy to use and easy to pack, it also didn't have the unpleasant taste I was expecting. I am excited to have this product in my pack as a reliable way of purifying my drinking water and am pleased with how easy it was to use. Thank you for my gift and I'll be spreading the word.

A Must For Your Survival/first Aid Kits

Water purification tablets should be a part of every first aid and/or survival kit. Whether you fish, hunt, backpack or just get out and adventure, having something to make water potable is essential. Make sure you have something like this on hand for the unexpected!

Awesome Stuff

I've used these little guys as both a primary and secondary water purification source. They are ridiculously easy to use and ridiculously easy to pack, which is why I never go anywhere without them in my pack, my first aid kit, my car, etc. Generally I have used them the most when out backpacking and will often use the tablets instead of an actual filter since they are so much smaller and easier. The taste is the only downside. The treated water doesn't generally taste that great, but when I'm out backpacking or climbing I'm thirsty and some funky tasting water tastes just fine to me especially when I know it's clean.

Great For Travel! (Not Just For Camping)

I use this product extensively while traveling to areas with unsafe drinking water. While most of those traveling will purchase water bottles, I found the tablets to be a great alternative to avoid wasting plastic bottles, avoid the worry of not having drinkable water, avoid many trips to the store to buy more bottles. I could simply fill up a jug, sterilize it with the PA products, neutralize it and have great drinking water in the bottles I brought.

Portable, Easy To Use & No Aftertaste

I used these products while on a recent four day backpacking trip in Newfoundland. What I liked about them: 1.The containers weighed next to nothing. 2.The containers are colour coded & that made it a whole lot easier to remember which one to use. 3.There was zero Iodine taste after using the tablets and the water was clear coloured. The only issue for some people, particularly if you are only carrying one water bottle, is that you do have to wait 35 minutes in total for the water to be safe to drink. I had 2 water bottles so when I emptied one, I'd refill and add tablets immediately so I never had to wait.
