## Overview

Katadyn Micropur MP1 Water Purification Tablets provide a trusted, chemical-based water treatment solution using chlorine dioxide—the same agent used in municipal water plants. Each individually sealed tablet purifies 1 liter of water in as little as 15 minutes, delivering safe, great-tasting drinking water without iodine aftertaste. With a 5-year shelf life and no need for pumps or filters, these tablets are an essential, lightweight addition to any camping, hiking, or emergency preparedness kit.

## Description

Katadyn Micropur MP1 Tablets release chlorine dioxide, the same chemical used at municipal drinking water plants worldwide, to deliver safe, great-tasting drinking water anywhere your trip takes you. A go-to piece of camping essentials and emergency preparedness gear, the 30-pack treats 30 liters of clear or tap water at one tablet per liter, enough to cover your next couple of trips or plan ahead for multiple summers. Each tablet is individually wrapped and sealed for the longest shelf life - 5 years from date of manufacture. Built to deliver clean, safe-tasting drinking water from clear or tap sources in the field. Wait time is 15 minutes in clear water at 60°F, and up to 4 hours in worst-case water (39°F, very dirty, slightly acidic). 4 ppm in-use concentration of chlorine dioxide. Suitable for solo travelers and small groups of 1 to 5.

Review: Excellent option to water filter - This product is an excellent way of sidestepping the problems inherent in water filters, while still protecting your water. I've used different water filters over the years, and ALL had problems. A few years ago, I decided to try the non-iodine treatment. First, I used Aqua-Mira, but found it too much trouble. I had to mix two solutions, wait, then add the solution to water. It worked, but I wanted something easier. That's where Micropur came in. Just fill up a liter bottle with water, drop in one Micropur tablet, wait 30 minutes, and drink. That's it. I also use a mesh cap (from Gossamer Gear, I think) that I put on the liter bottle to filter out debris, but when the water source is good, I don't even use that. I think Micropur does leave a slight taste, but nothing like the taint of iodine. Tablets have limitations, of course. For example, if you want to drink immediately, you can't. You have to pace yourself. If you want to fill up a 1.5 liter container, you have to do some improvising. But if you just want to have a very light, dependable, non-cloggable solution to on-the-trail hydration, Micropur is great.
Review: Great for your emergency/survival/camping kit - There are some great reviews on here, explaining the merits, shelf lives, and methods of water purification. I'm a big believer in having multiple methods of water purification in an emergency situation. I feel that having multiple "redundant" solutions for making fire and cleaning water are key and have made them the primary components of my survival kits for my car, hiking, and home. These tablets come in individually wrapped foil packs and are designed to combat bacteria found in your water. I'd still recommend a physical filtration system to work alongside this chemical purification method...but if I had to choose between a filter and these tablets, these tablets are a surefire method to remove bacteria...filters, well, they are better for filtering chemicals, not the super small bacteria.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it really take four hours? That seems like a long time to wait on drinking water while hiking.**
A: It takes 4 hours for it to kill everything, but...........
Things like bacteria and viruses are more fragile than other organisms that have an outer "shell".  The 4 hour recommendation is so that these tougher organisms are killed as well as the bacteria and viruses.  We always filter our water first (MSR Miniworks) which removes 99.99% of bacteria and just leaves any potential virus behind which is why we also use these tablets (many would argue that this is overkill, BTW).  Viruses are killed in 20-30 minutes.
So---our method is to filter the water first, then drop a tablet in and wait about 20 minutes.
(additional recommendation: don't leave your water bottle sitting in direct sunlight while the tablet is working)

**Q: Expiration date as of 02/20/2020?**
A: Follow expiration date.  Toss it, at or after expiration date.  I would NOT use it.  In this case, where I am, it is 02/20/2020...so toss it.

**Q: Are these tablets individually wrapped or all in one jar?**
A: These tablets are individually wrapped.

**Q: Can this be used in a stainless steel container?**
A: Yes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ best water purifier.
*by S***M on July 11, 2020*

I much prefer chemical treatment for wilderness water over filters. I have used these for years to treat water directly from the lake and have had no problem. You really can't taste the stuff. The foil packets with the tabs are a little hard to open but that preserves the shelf life. There is an expiration date several years out on the edge of the packet ( a little hard to read but it is there). I think if you search you can find this stuff for cheaper in bulk but I don't need that many and just buy from Amazon.
