The lightweight, no-mess purification choice
By Katadyn (8014018)
Easy to use and taking up almost no space at all, MicroPur tablets are ideal water treatment solutions for lightweight backpacking, travel or emergency use.
Katadyn's MicroPur Tablets are the only EPA-registered purification tablets on the market effective against bacteria, viruses and cysts, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium.

Sold in packs of 30, the individually-wrapped MicroPur tablets have no expiration date.
- Only EPA-registered purification tablets effective against viruses, bacteria and cysts, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
- The same chlorine dioxide treatment used to disinfect municipal water supplies.
- One MicroPur tablet treats 1 full quart of water.
- Reaction time: 30 minutes.
Who's buying?...
MicroPur tablets by Katadyn are popular among hikers and backpackers, and are also used for emergency preparedness kits. Small, lightweight & reliable. When a portable pump-style purifier like the First Need is not practical, pack along the MicroPur. Also can be used in conjunction with microfilters for turbid water situations.
More than just a good idea...
The World Health Organisation (WHO) attributes 80% of all travel diseases to drinking water. It is advisable to always use Micropur as a precaution. Micropur can be used by itself with clear water, or in combination with a Katadyn filter in turbid water. Micropur eliminates bacteria and viruses, which can occur in hotel tap water and public fountains.
Protecting your water supply is absolutely ciritical, whether out in the back country, or close to home at times when the municipal system fails. Keep a package of Katadyn MicroPur tablets on hand - with no expiry date, they are literally an ounce of prevention whenever you need it.
