Question 1

The packaging say it kills "odor causing bacteria" but doesn't mention anything about giardia or cryptosporidium.Will it work against those Pathogens?

Accepted Answer

The product description on amazon says that it kills, but the aquamira website doesn't. Check this link: https://mcnett.zendesk.com/entries/448256-Do-Aquamira-Water-Treatment-Drops-Remove-Viruses-and-Bacteria-This seems a response to specific products. While it says that chlorine dioxide kills Cryptosporidium and Giardia, it doesn't want to say it explicitly so until proven.

Question 2

What is the shelf life prior to opening the bottles and after opening ?

Accepted Answer

-Once treated with Aquamira Water Treatment, stored water has a 5 year shelf life.-Aquamira Treatment (itself) has a 4 year shelf life from manufacturing date on bottle.

Question 3

Question 4

do these work for countries where you're advised to only drink bottled water like Mexico, Cuba etc?

Accepted Answer

Yes they do. These drops require 15 minutes to purify a quart of water.
I prefer the drops over the tablets because the tablets require 4 hours to purify a quart of water.
