Water filtration from a pill

Hiking, adventuring and traveling are excellent escapes from the daily 9 to 5 life most of us live; until you find yourself on hour 7 of a marathon porcelain throne expedition because you drank the diseased local water. Katadyn keeps you from being that guy with the creation of Katadyn MicroPur MP1 Water Purification Tablets. These amazing little pills are the only tablet proven effective against viruses, bacteria, Giardia and Cryptosporidium as well as being the only EPA registered tablet as a microbiological water purifier.

Each individually wrapped tablet is pre-measured to filter 1 liter of water in about 30 minutes. The tablets are made of Chlorine Dioxide; which is safer than Iodine, and doesn't taste like something previously died in the water after purification. As always we recommend bringing along some sort of kool-aid style mix to mask any residual taste or smell that could be present, no matter what filtration method you use. A must have travel resource, even if you are currently equipped with some other filtration method.

Amazon.com has the Katadyn MicroPur MP1 Tablets for $13.99.
Alternatively, check out Katadyn's site for more detailed information.
