[at-l] Katadyn Micropur tablets

[jbryankramer@xxxxxxx (J Bryan Kramer)]

Its just a gimick to put PT Barnums dictate into practice: "There's sucker
born every minute."

Chlorine Dioxide is a gas so I find it hard to see how they squeeze it into
a tablet. In practical terms it doesn't treat water any more effectively
than plain old 59 cent a gallon bleach from the supermarket. The choice
whether to use Chlorine, Chlorine Dioxide or Hypochlorite at municipal water
plants is based on technical issues not related to how to disinfect your
water bottle.
