Travel On A Healthy Tummy

Travellers often asked what the most effective methods are for avoiding unclean drinking water

. Boiling water is a great method, but is not always practical. Here we look at alternatives to boiling water.

Chlorine dioxide tablets are among the safest and most effective chemical water disinfectants available. They kill bacteria, viruses and cysts in water (including giardia and cryptosporidium). As well as drinking water, it is important to treat any water which may enter your body, e.g. water used for brushing your teeth or preparing food. There's no need for neutralising tablets since chlorine dioxide tablets don't have any taste. The tablets can be used to treat as much as 30 litres of water and are safe for long term use.

Iodine used to be a very common water treatment and was widely available to purchase in the UK. 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 the latest 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.

Its filter cap will purify about 350 litres during its lifetime, and is the sole portable water purifier endorsed by the Hospital of Tropical Diseases London.
