(You aren’t as likely to hydrate with water that repels you.) and 4) Are they simple to use? Then I culled that list to the best ones based on a number of criteria. ![]() I read countless reviews and also a bunch of scientific literature on their efficacy. So, how did I choose products for this review? I went to people who love water purification tablets and asked for their opinions. In many cases they’re better, but they too have their downsides. And I’m not saying tablets aren’t as good. Sure, they’re heavier to carry than a bottle of drops or tablets, and sometimes unnecessary, but in the 30 plus years I’ve been going to the backcountry, I haven’t gotten sick yet. I prefer mechanical means to filter my water - like the GravityWorks Platypus or Katadyn BeFree or the Sawyer Squeeze systems. I gotta be honest with you: water purification tablets aren’t my first choice when moving through the hills.
