Serious water treatment November 15, 2009

I have used Polar Pure for a number of years, sometimes under difficult conditions. It's much better than any other chemical treatment I have found. I don't recommend drinking stagnant water from a swamp, but if you treat it following the manufacturer's instructions, you can do it and won't get a disease or parasite.
One bottle of this product will treat a LOT of water...at least in the thousand liter range. Most products are sold as little tablets and only treat about 50 liters. This is hands-down a better product.
Like all chemical treatments, it only kills living organisms. If the water is toxic, you are still out of luck.
Great product. I swear by it.
perfect for camper/hikers October 7, 2009

Have yet to use, but I already know its going to taste nasty. What do you expect its iodine. If you want fresh clean water the dig a whole 10 feet from the side of the river bellow the water level, collect that water run it through some shirts or other means of filtration boil it up and enjoy. This is much easier but I keep it for a survival item. Thankfully I haven't had to use yet, but it purify 500 gallons of water!

I did not use it yet but I was surprised at the tiny quantity of crystals in the vial.
Either I got one that does not have the normal quantity, or a little goes a very long way.
Purely something to have around March 27, 2009

I have yet to use the Polar Pure in serious situations, but I do believe strongly in iodine water purification for all non tested drinking water applications. Having use a couple of water filters for extended backpacking it is sort of apple and oranges. For a day hike, emergency situations, or especially for foreign travel I would consider it a requirement ,
Great taste, great protection, compact & convenient September 9, 2008

Our group used Polar Pure in the Boundary Waters and Quetico on a week-long canoe trip. At first, everyone was squeamish about using iodine and so we spent a lot of time pumping water with a conventional filter. But the filter leaked and so some of us decided maybe we'd try to survive the awful taste of iodine in the water. Color me surprised - the water tasted fine. It was convenient - just dip your water bottle over the side of the canoe to fill, add a capful of Polar Pure solution, shake, and wait 20 minutes. It tasted great. Could I taste the difference between Polar Pure and filtered water? Sure, on a side-by-side taste test I could tell a slight difference. But it was so much more compact and convenient than the water filter that I switched to Polar Pure for the rest of the week. Now I'm going to get bottles for the rest of the family so that we can take it on our hikes and trips in the Cascades and Olympics. A small bottle in a backpack and we'll never run out of water on those hot grinding switchback trails.
