Water Purification done right Submited By: JG on 07/21/2010 These tablets are for backpacking and when boiling water is impracticable. Purification does take some time though I believe the process takes about 45 minutes in total. You will need a cloth or bandanna to strain any undissolved pieces of the tablet before drinking the water but this is the exact was the US. Army does it. I would recommend these tablets for the go-bag or a long multi-day hiking trip.
