Can Potable Aqua® tablets be repackaged in a different container?
We do not recommend that Potable Aqua tablets be repackaged into any other container. Potable Aqua tablets are manufactured under highly controlled temperature and humidity conditions that minimize exposure to the atmosphere. The tablets are very hygroscopic (i.e. have the ability to attract moisture), which causes them to degrade quickly if exposed to moisture or high humidity. Potable Aqua is manufactured to strict specifications, and is tested to assure it meets those requirements throughout the manufacturing and packaging process. Even the wadding inside the bottle (which prevents the tablets from getting crushed or crumbling) is a special moisture resistant material. Once a tablet is handled or is outside of its original container, we can no longer guarantee that it will maintain its effectiveness.
