Aquamira Water Treatment 1 oz Chlorine Dioxide Kit for Backpacking

Chlorine dioxide is what does the work here, and municipal water plants have leaned on it since the 1940s without leaving harmful by-products behind. The formula is EPA-registered and holds up in clear water, muddy water, warm water and cold water. One kit treats up to 30 gallons.

Iodine leaves a stain and a taste. Aquamira does neither — your water stays clear, and the treatment actually improves the flavor while it kills bacteria. Small enough to disappear into a pack pocket, with a shelf life that keeps a spare kit good for a season or two between trips.

Key features

• EPA-registered formula that stays effective in clear, muddy, warm and cold water.
  
• Packs down small and keeps a long shelf life, so it's still usable on a trip you plan for next summer.
  
• Municipal plants have run the same chemistry since the 1940s, with no harmful by-products.
