Essential carry for camping and travelling
If you’re camping or travelling in remote regions where water sources could carry the risk of viruses as well as bacteria, these water purification tablets are an essential addition to any mess kit, survival kit or travel pack. Katadyn’s Micropur Forte chlorine-based tablets with silver ion technology can be used to disinfect drinking water as well as water for cleaning teeth and washing fruits and vegetables. They have a long shelf-life and can preserve water for up to 6 months. Contact time is 30 minutes for bacteria and viruses, 2 hours for Giardia in clear water. Just drop them in, wait for the specified time and you’re good to go. Micropur Forte tablets are best used in combination with a filter when drawing water from turbid (visibly cloudy) sources.

Katadyn filters are built to the highest standards when it comes to quality, reliability and ease of operation. That reputation is why so many military forces and international aid organisations rely on Katadyn products for field use in the most volatile and challenging conflict and disaster zones.
