Detailed Description of Product
Katadyn Micropur MP1 Tablets are the future of water treatment, and the only system of its kind EPA registered as a microbiological water purifier. Katadyn Micropur MP1 is the latest addition to Katadyn’s Ultralight Series. This little tablet does it all. Micropur MP1 is the only product of its kind, EPA registered as a microbiological water purifier. Micropur MP1 tablets release chlorine dioxide, the same substance used in municipal drinking water plants worldwide. So not only is the water safe to drink, it also tastes great. Tablets are individually sealed for longest shelf life (3 years). Each of the 30 tablets included treats 1 liter of water. Wait time is as follows: 5 minutes for Viruses and Bacteria in all water, 30 minutes for Crypto and Giardia in normal water (60ºF, clear water), and 4 hours for Crypto in worst case water (39º F, very dirty, slightly acidic water, i.e. the kind you’d want to double pump with a purifier). **INCLUDES 30 TABLETS.

Reviews of Product
Nice and easy
Pluses: I find that water treated with MP1 tastes as decent as that treated with Aqua Mira, without the hassle of mixing chemicals and waiting the initial 5 minutes for them to react. I have also had Aqua Mira bottles leak on hot days when the pack was in the car going from low to high altitude (sea level to 10000 feet), though that may have been because they were in the sun all day. The amount is also easier to dispense with the tablets.Minuses: Sharp foil packages, need to bend down the corners. Needs scissors to open.
Micropur MP1 Tablets
Used it for the first time in N.C. Smoky Mts. on 4th of July weekend. I don't recommend using one tablet per 32 oz. Nalgene bottle (as it says in the instructions). This caused a very light chemical taste (not iodine, but more like chlorine). When I used a full liter of water (as it also says in the instructions), the difference was enough to cause a significant improvement. I must say that the water flavor was quite good. No stomach problems whatsoever after extensive 4 day use. I never used iodine tablets. I've always been a pump purifier guy, but if weight and convenience are a factor, I am taking these tablets on my next trip!

The water tasted great, but in use, 4 hours is just too long to purify a quart of water.
Lightest & Safest Chemical Treatment
Unlike iodine, kills all the nasties, yet doesnt taste nasty. And unlike bottle forms of the same compounds, can just toss a few essentially weightless and individually sealed tablets in your pack for an overnight trip, as well as always keep some in your first aid kit. A piece of cheesecloth would be a good idea to filter out any debris before treatment. Only significant drawback is that this treatment would become fairly expensive on a per-liter basis.
Is this a joke?
Maybe I didn't read between the lines, but once I got the tablets, I discovered that it takes FOUR HOURS to purify a liter of water! Who has the time to sit around and wait four hours before you can drink out of your water bottle? This stuff is less than worthless.
