How it works –
"The unique formula works by releasing nascent oxygen, a highly active form of oxygen, which is a strong oxidant and a powerful germicidal agent."
Testimonials –
"Chlorine dioxide's oxidation potential, its ability to kill pathogens, is greater than iodine and chlorine. AquaMira is my personal choice for chemical purification. I have about 1,500 miles [using Aquamira] with no problems to report.”- Ayce from ThruHiker.com
"This was the purifier I used when I thru-hiked the Appalachian trail. I used it everyday for four months, and I use it whenever I go hiking still (or whenever I can find it since my local shop doesn't carry it, what's wrong with them?)."-Tempe, AZ
"This is by far the MOST EFFECTIVE agent for treating and purifying water."- S. Wimington DE
"I always use aqua mira whenever i need water in the field. it's small, works well, has little taste, and pretty inexpensive. A little goes a long way with this stuff. "- B. Mahopac, NY
"I used this product for a month long backpacking trip in Alaska and it worked pretty well. It certainly does the job..."- Jeff NY
"This is the lightest and best water treatment I have used yet. It is easy(no pumping) and fast."
- Stephen N., Florida
"I don't treat my water all the time, but when I do, this is what I use. I doubt I'll ever use my pump again...."- Janet B., Lake Tahoe
Additional Customer Comments –
“We lead trips all over the world and encounter a wide variety of water quality. Our mission is to keep our clients safe and healthy during their expeditions and that’s why we use and recommend Aquamira.” - Brent LaDoux, Alpine Ascents International
"Aquamira is the best chemical water treatment available. There is a drops option for longer trips or group trips and also a tablet option for short outings or for back-up for WHEN (not if) your filter jams. I have used Aquamira drops on tons of trips and have never gotten sick. It is definitely much better than awful tasting iodine and a whole lot lighter than any other product."
