How long are the tablets good for.

According to the manufacturers website there is no expiration date and it is not a 4 year shelf life. It states on this FAQ for these tablets... Does Potable Aqua® have an expiration date? No, Potable Aqua is an EPA registered product that does not require an EXP date. The shelf life of Potable Aqua is dependent on storage conditions. Product should be stored in a cool, dry place, in adherence with the label’s storage guidelines to maximize product shelf life. When reviewing your product, as a general rule tablets that are grayish/brown in color are good and tablets that are yellowish/green should be replaced. Bottles that have been opened should be replaced for the next season. The number printed on the side of each bottle is the manufacturer’s lot code, not an expiration date. The lot code can be used to identify the date of manufacture of that bottle of PA. The lot code is comprised of month, year, and batch number, such as 51507. This bottle was made in May of 2015, and was the 7th batch There is tons of bad information from both this seller that answered this question and reviewers here on amazon. Research products yourself before buying.

Is this an option if you don't want to boil?

Yes. I usually just store these in case the SHTF, but on a recent trip to S America where you ever drink fron the tap, we'd buy water in those big 20 gallon bottles ( still not safe). Then for my 2 yr old & me we'd drop one of each of these pills in a 2 liter Brita filter. No Montezuma's revenge for first time ever. Always better to boil, but not alway available or practable.

If you have a habit of going hiking or off grid camping these will be useful. They are light and small. A bit of a chemical taste but no worse than tap water. Good value. Easy to use.

Very fast shipping and packaging is just like the picture but haven't opened or tried them yet so will have to wait and see. I did read adding vitamin c in the water can help neutralize the iodine taste but only after 34 minutes when the iodine is finished working/purifying. ******************************************************************** Some other comments about it on the internet.... The chemical name for vitamin C is ascorbic acid. When Iodine and ascorbic acid are combined in solution, a chemical reaction takes place. In this chemical reaction, the ascorbic acid molecule loses electrons, which are transferred to the iodine molecule. Chemists call this type of reaction an oxidation/reduction reaction (or redox reaction for short). The ascorbic acid is oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid, and the iodine is reduced to Iodide ions. Oxidation-reduction reactions always occur in pairs like this. The molecule that loses electrons is oxidized, and the molecule that accepts the electrons is reduced. ************************************************************************ Guess what else - it is an instantaneous chemical reaction. The ascorbic acid complexes the iodine on contact, removing both taste and color. Try it in a clear container. Watch the color disappear entirely before your eyes in a heartbeat when you invert the container to mix it. That color change tells you it's done. There is an important caveat: it only takes a VERY tiny amount (fits easily on the tip of a knife blade) of ground-up vitamin C tablet to do this in an entire gallon of water. Be advised that you will always add more than you really needed. No big deal UNLESS you forget to thoroughly rinse the water container before you add iodine the next time.
