Aquatabs | Water Purification Tablets 49mg (50 Pack)

Safe Drinking Water — Anywhere, Anytime

Whether you're pulling water from a remote stream deep in the Cape Breton Highlands, traveling internationally, or prepping a marine ditch bag for coastal boating, safe drinking water is non-negotiable. Aquatabs 49mg Water Purification Tablets are the ultimate lightweight insurance policy. Just drop one tablet into a litre of clear water, wait the required contact time, and you have perfectly safe hydration without the physical exertion of pumping a mechanical filter.

Unlike older emergency treatments that leave your water tasting like a swimming pool, Aquatabs are completely iodine-free and chlorite-free, meaning no harsh chemical aftertaste or strange coloring. Highly effective against bacteria, viruses, and Giardia cysts, they are individually foil-sealed to guarantee a massive 5-year shelf life. From washing fresh produce at a backcountry campsite to building a reliable hurricane preparedness kit for your home, these tiny tablets are the easiest way to guarantee clean water when you need it most.
