Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide Water Purification Tablets

If the useful life is 4 years from dater of manufacture this should be prominently marked -- but it is not. The box received Feb 14/2017 from Amazon has a sticky label with 15001 and "01/20". If the latter is an expiration date of Jan, 2020 then more than one fourth of the useful life is gone before receipt. The product may be good, but old stock raises the effective cost by one third (or one fourth, depending on how one calculates).

Two separate conditions. I have used, and have given to others to use, for poison ivy infection. Works with the first treatment. Anyone who has contact with poison ivy knows the difficulty in treating it. Effective lotions can run into some sizeable costs. Chlorine dioxide tablets cost pennies per dose instead.The second one is a friend who had a tenacious upper respiratory condition that seemed to be worsening. Gave him a standard dose/glassful. Didn’t hear back for several days. When I did finally contact him, he said it was GONE that night.You can accept this or reject it. Not my problem. I use it for cuts and puncture wounds. Never got an infection and healing follows naturally. I know there are many OTC creams and such available. This just adds to the list.

Manufacturer states on their website that these tablets, under ideal storage conditions, should last four years. I just received my order and the tablets I received are already almost two years old. I suppose the expiration date is also the sell by? How unfortunate. I plan to keep these in a go bag.

We get the product with 11 month expiration day from receiving day!This product people usually buy for emergency (our case) with a long shelf time, at list 4 years, as indicated on the manufacturer’s website.We are really disappointed.

These tabs are not only good for purifying water but they can also disinfect wounds and kill germs. Safe on skin when used at directed ratio. I use these to fight thrush and White Line in horses and donkeys. Same thing as White Lightening but much easier and cheaper.

Received 2 packs expecting to see a 4 year expiration availability per the description. What I received has only 1 YEAR left. This is unacceptable in the way it is advertised and the cost at which is associated with the product.

Chlorine Dioxide is a "go to" water purification tablet for emergencies AND outdoor activities - like hiking. Yes, they take a little longer BUT they are the only purification tablet on the market that is effective against giardia and cryptosporidium - which is why FEMA and other government agencies buy them up so fast the market can't hardly keep up.As a light weight alternative to packing around water purification pumps for backpacking - you can't beat it. Leaves no after taste and even improves clarity as the sediment seems to fall out of suspension in the water after the tablets are used. I haven't bought chlorine or iodine tablets since these came out on the market. Incase you are wondering "Chlorine Dioxide" does not use actual chlorine to purify the water... it uses a highly active form of oxygen.

I personally used these for a two month journey through Central Asia that at one point involved two weeks without bottled water (during trekking, traveling). I used these tablets on water I gathered from streams and occasionally from water gathered from wells that looked suspect (i.e., from the plumbing in people's homes). I drank water of various colors (brown, blue and clear), and I never got sick once, which I think proves the authenticity of these tablets (or that I am lucky).I cannot comment on the taste of the water, because typically the taste of water was the last thing on my mind. If you are thirty, you will drink it. That said, I do not remember the tablets ever causing a strongly undesirable taste (when I used it on water from people's homes). The only time I noticed a pungent taste was when the water was noticeably foul looking, because it was the only source I could get. Ironically, the water I suspected most came from a crap hotel in China that accepted Pakistani rupees (no ATM in town). I am quite sure the taste was not a side-effect of the tablets.A few notes:I had a 2-L Camelback (technically Platypus) I stuck two tablets in and a 1.5 L plastic bottle (the disposable kind) that I stuck only one tablet in, since I figured the tablets had a safety factor. I probably filled the bottle 1.3-1.4 L's up.I waited at least 4 hours before drinking after dropping the tablets in, and would alternate with my Platypus/bottle. In one instance I only waited 2 or 3 hours for the water in my Platypus (which had two tablets), but the water "looked fresher."The tablets are highly portable. I stuck them in my mini-first aid kit.They are significantly cheaper than other alternatives, and protect against virtually everything. You also do not have to worry about iodide poisoning with these.For these reasons, I prefer these tablets to others, even if there is a four hour wait. Keep the iodide tablets for emergencies, and use these tablets for more "regular" use.

4 year shelf life, with 11 months left on it.Do not buy.

Only bought them for putting stay in case of emergency in a storm n havnt needed them yet there just a piece of mind item or insurance policy at the moment

Very satisfied...
