For several years I have been drinking reverse osmosis filtered water only, at home and at work. I carry two or three liters of it to work with me every day for that purpose. My tap water is lightly chlorinated and not fluoridated. The untreated tap water tastes good, and the RO filtered water tastes great. I got these tablets for use on trips but decided to test them first with RO filtered water to find out how they affect water taste and see if I have any adverse reaction to drinking it.
My Results
Tablets received on time and not even close to expiration date. Tablets are easy to use as directed and dissolve with fizzing action like Alka Seltzer in about four minutes. I followed directions and used one tablet per liter of RO water, using both glass bottles and stainless steel bottles. While tablets are dissolving a stream of bubbles rise from it and creates a mild distinctly chlorine odor. In the clear glass bottles used I could see the water was clear and white and colorless before treatment and clear and very slightly yellow/brown after treatment. Ten minutes after treatment the treated water tastes like highly chlorinated tap water. I have tasted worse in numerous municipalities here in USA. 36 hours later the taste is unchanged, highly chlorinated. In the past 36 hours I have drunk three of the four liters I treated and have had no noticeable physical consequences. The stainless steel bottles were not corroded or stained by the tablets.
These tabs are very small and light and I look forward to carrying them with me on my next trip and being protected from pathogens in the water.
