Coghlan's Water Purification Tablet System - 2 Step Process

Video Transcript for Review of Coghlans Emergency Supplies - Water Purification Tablet System - CG44RR

Hi everybody, my name is Andy with etrailer.com, and today, we're taking a look at Coghlan's Water Purification Tablet System. Now, this system will disinfect and neutralize your water, whether you're out on a backpacking trip or at your camp site. This is intended for emergency use only, so you wouldn't want to continuously drink water that is treated by this system, this is just for in case you're out on a hike or a backpacking excursion, you've run out of water, and you need that emergency supply of water to hydrate you enough to get you back to where you have access to clean drinking water, that's what this is for, not for a continuous drinking on a regular basis. Let's take a closer look at these bottles. Now, what you will have is your germicidal tablets and then your neutralizing tablets. And the way that this works is you would use two germicidal tablets to disinfect approximately one quart or one liter of water, and then the neutralizer tablets will come into place after the germicidal tablets have disinfected your water.

So for instance, if you have a quart or a liter of water, and you've got a water bottle that needs to be disinfected, you would take two tablets of the germicidal tablets and add that to your one quart or one liter of water, and you would cap that water bottle or container loosely to allow a small amount of leakage. You would wait five minutes after adding those two germicidal tablets, then shake the container to allow the screw threads on that closure to be moistened, then tighten the cap. After that, you would wait 30 minutes for these germicidal tablets to take effect before drinking. After the minimum of 30 minutes have passed, then you would add the neutralizer tablets, and you would add two of these into that quart or liter of water, and then you would shake the container well, and then wait three minutes for the neutralizer tablets to take effect before you could drink those. So the tablets for the neutralizer part don't have to be fully dissolved to drink your water.

So you're looking at roughly a minimum of 33 minutes before these would be totally effective for you to be able to drink that water. Now, if you're looking for just the germicidal tablets and you don't need the neutralizer tablets, you can find just the germicidal tablets on our website, item number CG83FR. If you're interested in the size of the bottles, they would be really easy to pack, they're very small. Let me just get another closeup here for you. The overall height of the bottles are gonna be sitting right at two inches, and the width, I think we're sitting right at about an inch, and that's gonna be the case for both of these bottles, so again, real easy to throw in your backpack, your camping gear, and just really something good to have just in case you run out of water and you have access to maybe a stream or something like that, just to be able to treat enough water for you to get hydrated and back to where you can have access to clean drinking water.

Well, that's gonna conclude our look today at Coghlan's Water Purification Tablet System. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me..
