Jack:

I keep Coghlan's  Iodine tablets in case of emergencys and the bottle says 
do not store for longer than a year.  Better yet, why not use a filter 
like the "scout" model that I use, has the ceramic filter and iodine resin 
to remove and kill small creatures in the water.  I also put an activated 
charcoal filter on it for solutions that may be dissolved in the water.
