Review: Best I’ve tried - Been using these during multiple long distance hikes and they are much better than any other purification tabs I’ve tried. Teeny tiny and in sturdy foil blister packs that don’t disintegrate into pieces, and genuinely completely tasteless, no nasty chlorine/chemical taste
Review: Didn't die from giardia... - Used in Nepal. Does the job when viral contamination is a worry as many water filters don't clear viruses. You will have to wait 45 minutes before the water is drinkable and there's a slight taste, but not terrible. Should always have some in your backpack if you're going to fill up with water from streams and rivers. You never know if an animal has dropped one upstream or fallen in and drowned. Best be safe

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the shelf life of the product as dispatched?**
A: I purchased mine in March 2017 and the use by date is August 2020. I found these invaluable whilst trekking in the Himalayas, and even if the use by date was within one year they would still buy them - didn't have any problems on the trek. Also has very little to no background taste, unlike some chlorine treatments. Hope that helps.

**Q: What exactly does this kill?**
A: Pathogens (bacteria, viruses etc) as I understand it.

**Q: Can it be used to sterilise fruit & veg**
A: Theoretically, this would be feasible, as the outer shell would definitely be disinfected by the Micropur Forte. Nevertheless, we would like to mention that our product was developed purely for drinking water use and has been extensively tested only for this area.

**Q: what's the expiry date ?**
A: The expiry date is on the bottom of the packaging
