From Campmor:
"Micropur MP-1 is the only water purification tablet that is EPA registered as a Microbiological Water Purifier to inactivate all protozoa (like Cryptosporidium and Giardia), bacteria (like E Coli and Salmonella) as well as viruses (Hepatitis and Norwalk virus). Meets full EPA microbiological water purifier test standards. Tablets form chlorine dioxide bubbles when exposed to water so they virtually leave no taste or odor. Easy to use tablets are pre-measured to treat one liter of water- no mixing or measuring required. Individually sealed for longer shelf life. Works in all water conditions. Perfect for use in any suspect water- backpacking, camping, hotels, emergencies, international travel, etc. 30 tablets."
From Backcountry.com:
"Katadyn Micropur MP1 is the latest addition to Katadyn's Ultralight Series. This little tablet does it all. Micropur MP1 is the only product of its kind, EPA registered as a microbiological water purifier. Micropur MP1 tablets release chlorine dioxide, the same substance used in municipal drinking water plants worldwide. So not only is the water safe to drink, it also tastes great. Tablets are individually sealed for longest shelf life (5 years). Each of the 30 tablets included treats 1 liter of water. Wait time is as follows: 15 minutes for Viruses and Bacteria in all water, 30 minutes for Crypto and Giardia in normal water (60 F, clear water), and 4 hours for Crypto in worst case water (39 F, very dirty, slightly acidic water, i.e. the kind you'd want to double pump with a purifier). **INCLUDES 30 TABLETS."

The taste is not all that bad, what keeps from giving 5 stars is the foil packing and the weight time for fast water replacing on the trail is really limited so one must plan according to the next source, a larger container for camp is necessary as this is not a fast bottle fill on the trail device."

Use one tablet per liter of water. Allow 4 hours to dissolve and treat the water; pretty simple.
The idea was rather than have to pump out 3 liters of water first thing in the morning."
