Good product, maybe overpriced
By BB
I recently bought a camelbak and wanted the reservoir to keep from getting a stinky smell, so I bought these tablets. I find I’m also using them for camelbak’s bite-valve plastic water bottles and my older Nalgenes. Works well for erasing the stale smell that can accumulate in the bottles. I would use them on a more regular basis, but I find they are too expensive to use one as often as I’d like to.
