Boiling is an oldie but goodie. So old it’s been used as long as recorded history. If it was good enough for our ancestors it’s plenty good enough for us, right! As long as you're drawing your water from a relatively safe source (non-chemical dump) boiling should do just fine. There are numerous different schools of thought and opinions on the amount of time the water should be boiled. If you bring the water to a rolling boil and sustain it for one minute (above 5,000 ft make it 3 minutes) you have effectively sterilized the water according to the EPA. If the water is cloudy you should let it sit and settle then filter it through a cloth or other filter prior to boiling. If you want to go longer have at it; just remember in a survival situation resources and effort should be wisely rationed. I highly recommend that you make a steel cup part of your hiking/survival pack for this and other reasons.

Used worldwide by campers, hikers, militaries, emergency organizations, and anyone else who needs to drink water of questionable quality, these Portable Aqua iodine tablets will disinfect contaminated drinking water in a pinch. The tablets--which are intended for short-term or limited emergency use only--make most water bacteriologically suitable for drinking, proving effective against Giardia lamblia when used as directed.
Each Potable Aqua tablet contains 20 mg of Tetraglycine Hydroperiodide (TGHP), which liberates 8 mg of titratable iodine when released into water. Within 30 minutes, the iodine will have penetrated the cell walls of the microorganisms, rendering them inactive and making the water safe to drink.

Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, Salmonella Typhi, Cholera, Legionella, and more. The first stage is the Pre-Filter System which removes larger objects like sediment, bugs, dust, algae, and other suspended pollutants in the water, reducing the turbidity value of the water, instantly making it more clean. Next is the MIR High Iodine Bactericidal Resin Filter Layer which thoroughly kills pathogenic bacteria (E. Coli, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, Cholera, etc.) with a sterilization rate of more than 99.9999%. Then comes the Coconut Husk Granule Active Carbon Layer. This layer removes poisonous substances from the water and improves the smell. Finally, the Activated Carbon Fiber Layer helps absorb chemical pollutants in water, improving the water taste and further reducing the turbidity value of water. (Turbidity is the cloudiness of a fluid caused by large numbers of individual particles in the water). Within each of these 4 layers are multiple levels of filtration, bringing the total number of filtration levels to 10 for superior water purification in outdoor or survival settings .Our Aqau-Marine Personal Straw Water Purifier is perfect for camping, hiking, and to keep in your bug-out bag for emergency situations.

For over 100 years, chlorination of drinking water has been one of the single most effective means of improving public health in the developing world. It was with this in mind over 20 years ago, the research and development team at Medentech set out to create a unique product that could offer the benefits of chlorinated water in an easy to use and affordable product. As a result, Aquatabs was created and is now the most trusted brand of choice for point of use water disinfection around the world. Why use Aquatabs to treat water? 1. Many water sources throughout the world, even after filtration, remain contaminated and require some form of disinfection. 2. Aquatabs enable areas without access to water disinfection systems to benefit from the advantages of chlorination without any infrastructure requirements in a speedy and cost effective manner. 3. Aquatabs are simple to use, easily transported, cost effective and affordable to low income groups. 4. Aquatabs water purification tablets utilize materials specifically approved to International standards for use in drinking water with NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certification. 5. Aquatabs have been evaluated and selected by leading Aid Agencies, Non Governmental Organizations and Defense Forces worldwide.
