Chlor-Floc US Military Water Purification Tablets

We tried the P&G and the Chlor-Floc on a four-day hike in the Grand Canyon. The river water was thick with sediments. The first difference is that P&G packets are for 10 liters and Chlor-Floc packets are for 1 liter. The second difference is that we preferred the P&G because the sediment stayed on the bottom of the bucket while we skimmed clear water off the top, while the Chlor-Floc sediment stirred up into the clear water. But this doesn't matter if you use a better technique. With P&G, bring two 10-liter collapsible buckets (Sea to Summit makes these). With Chlor-Floc bring two 1 liter Nalgeens. Bring a funnel with a large opening and a cheesecloth. Pour 9 liters of water from the first bucket to second, filtering out the sediment, and toss the final liter. Then, after 30 minutes, add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to neutralize the chlorine. Finally, I filtered the water with my Grayl to remove the chemicals and kill any bacteria or viruses that might have survived the chlorine.

These things are awesome!!!! I took these with me on my last camping trip and I had two spare bottles about a quart each I think that I would use for treated water while using these packs. I am completely amazed with these things. The only thing I wish is that they came in some sort of water tight container but a ziplock bag will do the job nicely. They were able to clear some pretty green water in no time at all and the taste was good, there isn't a strong chemical flavor to it, but if there was just leave it in direct sunlight for a few hours and you are good to go. I would recommend these to anyone going camping or hiking.

Good product, does the job it was intended to do. Kinda nasty tasting. I would not want to rely on this for more than a couple days - you can get sick doing that. Know how and when to sue these and also when to quit using them! Carry pouch is a nice bonus too.

A must have for all backpackers, and to have in your vehicles emergency kit.

I love these purification tablets!! Lightweight and compact (compared to other methods of purification). I prefer to carry something lightweight, especially if it is only going to be used in a survival situation. I carry these in my canteen pouch and in my "Bug out Bag". Love them and recommend them to anyone building a survival bag, hiking preparedness or any outdoor enthusiast. Good to keep some of these around (you never know). Good price also!

Easily used, I would keep them in a bin with low humidity and nothing lower than normal just saying normal humidity and I’m sure the last a while and hopefully you’ll never have to use them but in case of an emergency perfect.

Despite some low reviews, got mine late 2020, date good til 05/2023. Maybe Rothco upped their game? Good short term storage. Just gotta manage your storage as with anything else, rotate as needed.

Haven't tried them... Just keeping them for emergency. Hope I picked right. Getting a disaster kit together is harder than it seems. Too many kits sold out there have substandard garbage or incomplete or incompatible items.
