Is this the miracle cure for wilderness bacteria?
Has anybody tried Aquamira to purify their drinking water?

Does this work better than other purification pills?

It is supposed to have no taste, odor, or color, but still takes 15 minutes to work.

Water Treatment
I work at a water treatment plant and know quite a bit about it. Myself I don't use pills at all. I use a water filter. And it would be good to get a water filter that is rated to .02 microns. It will help get rid of some virus but not all. But it will get ride of cryptosporidium, giardia, and all of other ones that will make you poop a lot. If any one has ever got sick off of the water they know what im talking about.

I've been using Aquamira for hiking for over a year now and it works well. No bad taste and I haven't been sick from bad water. I like it.
