Great alternative to iodine,
I’ve used Aqua Mira on 2 backpacking trips thus far and it has been better than iodine. The only problem is spilling it when you mix both parts together and also keeping track of the time. Eventually, if you use this for over 2 weeks, you’ll begin to taste it because it will build up in your bottle, however if you rinse your bottle out well, your water will barely have any Aqua Mira taste, if any.

|Great Product,
In 2004 during my hike of the Appalachian Trail, my water filter was nothing but headaches, clogging and maintence. I replaced the filter 2 weeks into my hike with Aqua Mira and used it extensively for the rest of the trip. I found only a slight chlorine taste, no worse than some city water I’ve had. The only issue was I couldn’t drink my newly gathered water immediately, as one could with a filter. Water management had to be planned. I would take my breaks at or near a water source so I had the aloted time for parts A & B to mix properly. Then once at camp, first thing I would do is get and prepare my water, then move onto setting up camp. By the time I was done, I had water.
During my hike (and afterward) I used it without any problems and without contracting any sicknesses.
I liked the product so much, I’m back to purchase some more for an up coming hike I’m planning on the Ouachita Trail, in AR and OK.

|Excellent water quality,
I used this water treatment kit to purify swamp water from the Florida Everglades and it worked very well. Since it’s the dry season and the water holes are rather small with no flow whatsoever, the water had a ‘swampy’ stagnant smell to it (did not attempt to taste untreated water but I imagine, based on the smell, that it would be an unpleasant taste). After treatment, the water was not only clearer (it was turbid to begin with) but the taste was great. I used a combination of the treatment drops and the Frontier water filter (same brand) and the water was simply great! no aftertaste, no unpleasant chemical flavor and no ill after-effects. Other people in my party used Iodine based purification tablets and complained about the taste of the water… everyone wanted to drink my water instead!
