Travellers often asked what the most effective methods are for avoiding unclean drinking water. Boiling water is a tried and tested method, but is not always practical. Here we look at alternatives. Chlorine dioxide tablets are amongst the safest and most effective chemical water disinfectants around. They kill bacteria, viruses and cysts in water (including giardia and cryptosporidium). They can be employed to treat drinking water, as well as water used for brushing your teeth and preparing fruit. There's no need for neutralising tablets as chlorine dioxide tablets don't have any taste. The tablets can be used to treat up to 30 litres of water and are safe for long term use. Until recently, iodine was the most commonly known and commonly employed water purification treatments. However, iodine is not being supported under the EU Biocides Directive and so most manufacturers have discontinued supplying iodine products since 2009. We now recommend using chlorine dioxide tablets; a great alternative. The Aquapure Traveller bottle is a handy solution for those with a bit more space in their rucksack. It utilises new M.A.D. (Mechanically Advanced Disinfection) Technology, a chemical free system that not only does a far better job than the original product, but also has a faster flow rate: all without chemicals. The bottle is designed to provide safe drinking water that tastes decent. Its filter cap will purify about 350 litres during its lifetime, and is the only portable water purifier officially endorsed by the Hospital of Tropical Diseases London. It is kind to the environment; by using the Aquapure Traveller, you are helping the environment by not dumping the equivalent of 700 plastic bottles per filter. It is easy to use. There are no chemicals or complicated produces; you just fill it and drink. Aquapure Traveller eliminates bacteria and viruses including E. Coli, polio, hepatitis A and others. It removes waterborne pathogens, such as giardia, cryptosporidium, etc. It removes toxic chemicals and heavy metals, as well as bad tastes, odours and sediment. It's the perfect solution for holiday makers, backpackers, trekkers, business travellers and, , anybody who needs access to pure, fresh water anywhere in the world. Replacement filters are available and can be replaced by simply taking off the old cap and screwing on a new one. Bimuno Travelaid can help keep the stomach healthy while travelling.
