Water Purification
Two-part chlorine dioxide water treatment, 2 oz bottles with droppers
Aquamira Water Treatment is a two-part chlorine dioxide treatment. You mix Part A and Part B, let it react, then add it to water to disinfect it.
Chlorine dioxide is a different chemical from household bleach. Many people like that it leaves less taste than chlorine or iodine. The two small bottles are light and take up very little room in a pack or kit, and the 1 oz size is easy to carry.
Hikers and households who want a light, chemical way to disinfect water, or a second step after a filter.
Chemical treatment does not remove dirt or chemicals, and wait times matter. Very cloudy water should be filtered or settled first.
The CDC notes that chlorine dioxide kills bacteria and viruses and can kill Giardia, and it recommends filtering first. Drops pair well with a microfilter.
Aquamira drops fit the backup layer in a home water plan. Stored water comes first, at about one gallon per person per day. A filter stretches that supply. The two-part chlorine dioxide drops cover the gap a filter leaves, so keep a set with your filter and treat clear water after filtering cloudy sources.
