Aquamira, an EPA-registered water treatment, is stabilized Chlorine dioxide an effective and safe water treatment used in municipal water treatment.
The first time I used this was on a long canoe trip. We purchased Aquamira as a backup treatment method to our water filter. As it turned out the water filter failed and we used the Aquamira for most of the trip.
Most of the time there is no aftertaste although one person complained of a chemical taste. Having used filters for years I was initially put off by the cost and the complicated process of using Auquamira: mixing the two solutions and letting the treated water sit for a half hour or so. It’s good backup to filtering because there is no chance of mechanical failure.
