What are the best methods for treating drinking water abroad? This is a very common question amongst travellers who may not have access to clean drinking or bottled water. Boiling water is a great method, but is not always practical. Here we look at alternatives to boiling water.
Chlorine dioxide tablets are amongst the safest and most effective chemical water disinfectants on the market. They kill bacteria, viruses and cysts in water (including giardia and cryptosporidium). They can be used to treat drinking water, as well as water used for cleaning your teeth and preparing fruit. There is no need for additional neutralising tablets because chlorine dioxide tablets have no taste. The tablets can be used to treat up to 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 better job than the original product, but also has a faster flow rate: all without chemicals. The bottle was designed to provide safe drinking water that tastes decent. Its filter cap will purify around 350 litres during its lifetime, and is the sole 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 easy to use. There aren't any chemicals or complicated produces; you just fill it and drink. Aquapure Traveller removes bacteria and viruses including 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 requires access to pure, fresh water anywhere in the world. Replacement filters can be obtained and can be replaced by simply taking off the old cap and screwing on a new one.
Bimuno Travelaid helps keep the stomach healthy while abroad. This truly unique patented formula has been specially designed for travellers by experts in digestive health. Experiments suggest that the unique second generation prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharide formulation of Bimuno Travelaid helps to encourage and sustain a normal level of your gut’s “good” bacteria (bifidobacteria) helping to prevent “bad bacteria” from becoming established. Furthermore, unlike other prebiotics, or indeed probiotics, it also has unique anti-adhesive properties, which help the body to drive out “bad” bacteria you might have consumed. By this combined effect of maintaining a favourable balance of “good” bacteria and preventing bad bacteria from finding a home you can aid in keeping your stomach happy. Because 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 abroad. Because of its effectiveness, Travelaid is recommended by numerous travel clinicians and Bimuno is an approved travel industry partner of ABTA.
