Reliable water purification tablets and devices for safe drinking water anywhere

When filtration alone isn't enough, purification is what makes water genuinely safe to drink. Unlike a standard filter, water purification tablets, drops, and devices are designed to eliminate viruses as well as bacteria and protozoa, making them essential for travel to regions with higher waterborne virus risk, or as a lightweight backup when your primary water filtration fails.

Our range covers a few different approaches depending on how you like to purify water. Water purification tablets, like the Katadyn Micropur Forte, are compact, lightweight, and require no batteries or moving parts, making them a genuinely reliable backup to carry on any trip. If you'd rather avoid any taste from tablets, our PURINIZE® Water Purifier Drops offer a similar level of protection without altering the flavour of your water. For a faster, chemical-free option, our Katadyn Steripen UV purifiers neutralise pathogens in seconds using UV light, ideal for day-to-day use where speed matters.

It's worth pairing your purification method with a proper filter for the best protection against sediment and larger contaminants — browse our full range of water filtration pumps, gravity and squeeze bags to round out your setup. And once you've sorted your water treatment, our water bottles and soft bladders and reservoirs collections have everything you need to carry it.
