Travellers often asked what the best methods are for avoiding unclean drinking water. Boiling water is a great method, but not always practical. Here we look at alternatives.
Chlorine dioxide tablets are probably the safest and most effective chemical water disinfectants on the market. 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 is no need for additional neutralising tablets since chlorine dioxide tablets have no taste. The tablets can be used to treat as much as 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 incorporates brand 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 great. Its filter cap will purify around 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 disposing of the equivalent of 700 plastic bottles per filter. It is very simple to use. There aren't any chemicals or complicated produces; you just fill it and drink. Aquapure Traveller eliminates viruses and bacteria such as E. Coli, polio, hepatitis A and others. It removes waterborne pathogens, including giardia, cryptosporidium, etc. It eliminates toxic chemicals and heavy metals, and bad tastes, odours and sediment. It's the perfect solution for holiday makers, backpackers, trekkers, business travellers and, in fact, 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 brand new one.
Bimuno Travelaid helps keep your stomach healthy while overseas. This truly exceptional patented formula has been specially designed for travellers by worldwide experts in digestive health. Scientific analysis show that the unique second generation prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharide formulation of Bimuno Travelaid helps encourage and sustain a good level of your gut’s “good” bacteria (bifidobacteria) helping to prevent “bad bacteria” from becoming established. Furthermore, unlike other prebiotics, it also has unique anti-adhesive properties, which help your body to drive out “bad” bacteria you may have consumed. By this combined effect of maintaining a favourable balance of “good” bacteria and preventing bad bacteria from finding a home you can help to keep your stomach happy. Since the protective benefits of Travelaid build over time, it is recommended that you take the product for a week before your departure and each day whilst you are on your travels. Because of its effectiveness, Travelaid is recommended by many travel clinicians and Bimuno is an approved travel industry partner of ABTA.
