Micropur MP1 is the only water purification tablet that is EPA registered as a disinfectant. The Micropur MP1 is effective against viruses, bacteria, and cysts, such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium.? Each tablet could filter up to 1 liter of water.? Traditionally, iodine tablets taste like chlorox, but Katadyn combines their tablet with ascorbic acid that negates the foul taste of iodine.
This lightweight filtration system comes with a cost.? You could potentially wait for 4 hours if the water is dirty and cold (30 minutes for clear water above 20 degrees Celsius).? In addition, this could be a very costly?mean to filter water over time.? This is for the ultralight backpacker who demands carrying the minimum amount of weight.? Personally, I prefer the hand-pumped water filter.
