Idividually wrapped water purification tablets?

[Sesoku]

I am looking for foil or plastic wrapped and sealed water purification
tablets. I would like them individually wrapped so that I can include them
in an altoids tin survival kit. The little glass bottle of pure water
iodine tabs is too big, and once you open it the tablets are useless in a
few months. If anyone knows a source for these I would appreciate it. To
specify, I am looking for purification tablets, not water storage chemicals
like the ones that Katadyn sells.

Potable Aqua et al, once opened, actually has a much longer life than you might think. Stored cool and away from direct light, there is no reason to expect them to deteriorate or lose their potency. (Think about it: how often does your salt go bad in the cupboard?) For "compact packaging" solutions, see this Equipped to Survive page:

Actually, I have a few extras of the large and small Blue Line vials mentioned in the above; both fit in the Altoids type tins. Pay for your preferred shipping and I'll send you some; just let me know offline.

Try Puritabs. Each tablet is individually foiled, so will last for years. One tablet purifies one litre of water.

Check out Google for places that sell them:
