MSR SweetWater Purifier Solution Replacement Bottle
Use the MSR SweetWater Purifier Solution with the SweetWater Microfilter and eliminate 99.99 percent of waterborne bacteria, viruses, and common protozoan parasites that your water filter can't get. Filter a liter of water with the SweetWater Microfilter, then add five drops of SweetWater Purifier Solution. Mix for ten seconds and wait five minutes for the solution to do its job. *This solution has only been approved for use with the SweetWater Microfilter.
Bottom Line: This solution works in conjunction with MSR's SweetWater Microfilter, so you can drink clean water on your camping and traveling vacations.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
Can you use this product like the KleanWater Chlorine treatment
Can you use this product like the KleanWater Chlorine treatment without first filtering the water. In other words, will the water be safe to drink with just the five drops of the MSR solution if the watersource is very clear and does not require filtration?

The solution is only killing viruses. It is meant to be used in conjunction with micro filter. It will not take care of bacteria or protozoa.

Yes, there is an expiration date. I just received a bottle of SweetWater purifier solution and it expires within less than one (1) year from date received. The expiration date is on the bottle. A more appropriate question would be what's the SHELF LIFE of the product...production date vs. expiration date.

Actually there is an expiration date on each bottle. It last several years.

Quick final step to safe water

Though not rated for my brand water filter, I use this product as the final post filter step to render harmless any nasties that made it though. Contaminated water can get you wicked sick. 5 drops and an extra 5 minutes per 1L Nalgene is invaluable peace of mind. I can detect a little chlorine taste in the treated water, but far less than in Chicago tap water, and certainly not offensive.
Is this just a high-priced sample of clorox? What is there about
Is this just a high-priced sample of clorox? What is there about it that makes it worth $10?

There is much more going on here than just "household bleach". MSR SweetWater Purifier Solution is specially designed in a lab to work with filters to kill free-floating viruses. Viruses are very easily handled with chemicals, but you don't want to put too much chemical into your water if it's not needed. This solution puts just the right amount without giving off a taste or smell. It essentially purifies the water and nothing more AFTER it's been filtered (viruses cannot be filtered out using a microfilter). Because of the much higher content of sodium hypochlorite in bleach, carcinogens have a possiblity of being created (specifically trihalomethane) when mixed with the organic material in backcountry water. Because of the greatly reduced sodium hypochlorite content in the MSR Sweetwater Purifier Solution, this risk is drastically reduced. Bleach also contains Lye which can burn the skin and destroy tissue. There is no lye in the Sweetwater Purifier Solution. Common household bleach was never intended to be consumed by humans whereas the MSR SweetWater Purifier Solution is. This is a huge difference between the two. The MSR SweetWater Purifier Solution is not common household bleach by any stretch of the imagination...

Plain Clorox for water purification: 2 drops per quart, 8 drops per gallon. Let sit for 30 minutes. Cloudy water; double dose. Water should have faint bleach smell. If not, redo.
Pure Clorox is corrosive and must be handled with great care.
If could really ruin your backpack and everything in it.

The only active ingredient in this product is 3.5% sodium hypochloride or in other words, weak common household bleach. Clorox is 6%. Pretty high $$$ bleach!
