[pct-l] Water treatment (revisited)

[Lisa Freathy]

Albert,

I have yet to use a chemical treatment but plan on carrying some next year 
through certain areas. I initially ordered the liquid aqua mira as I liked the 
fact you could adjust "dosage" for the amount of water you are treating vs the 
tablets which are for a specific amount. However after receiving my first order 
of the drops I am now considering the tablets as they weigh less. The two liquid 
bottles weigh 3 oz while 24 tablets weigh .7oz. I am not sure how much water 
the full bottles of liquid will treat compared to the 24 liters the 24 tabs will 
treat. I'm going to give them both a try and decide which I like better. I will 
also be using my filter in SoCal and perhaps nothing in certain areas.

I'm sure you will find what works best for you, happy hiking!
Lisa

I read some earlier posts comparing filtering water vs. using chemicals and
saw that many people prefer the chemicals and I understand the reasons why.
Aqua Mira was mentioned a couple of times so I decided to order some but it
comes in both tablets and liquid form. Is there a better or preferred form
of delivery in general? Not just for Aqua Mira but any of the chemical
purifiers (are tablets better or are crystals or liquid drops better.) or
maybe it doesn't matter?

Thanks,
Albert
