Polar Pure 340450 Water Disinfectant

I've been using PolarPure for years for water purification while rafting. There was an article, years ago, in Backpacker showing a inverse relationship between time of exposure and the amount iodine needed. The numbers that I remember and use all of the time is one capful of saturated iodine in 5 gallons of water, with 24 hours of exposure. (The inverse relationship means that 2 capfuls for 12 hours, and so on, will also work.) After 24 hours one can add something like koolaid to to get rid of the iodine taste.

I have never used Polar Pure but have heard lots of positive reviews. I was glad to find it on Walmart.com and that it was actually in stock! I will order more, since the seller shipped it quickly and without any problems. Thanks!

A product I've used for 35 years of backpacking and hiking. Small, convenient, and predictable water sterilization. Hard to find it recently. No need to boil water or deal with filters that tend to get plugged up.

Product was exactly as advertised, and the price was better than other places. Unfortunately shipping was delayed.

very easy to use, portable. used on 10 day canoe trip.

Love the product and glad to see it back on the market. Great service and fast delivery from Walmart as usual. Emails to the manufacturer r/t cracked caps in transit. Unable to use as is. Requested new caps if possible , not a full return return as the jars are intact and useable. No response to emails from manufacturer. Disappointed. 5 stars for Walmart. 2 stars max for manufacturer due to inadequate communication. Will keep bottles and find a work around if possible

These are used Polar Pure bottles. One came heavily used, with some small small round crystals left but mostly flacks/dust, likely from drying the solution back out. The second one was decent but still used. Sent message to seller, no response. If you didn't know Polar Pure is no longer manufactured, so Guessing these are used from a scout camp or something. Which is fine, but that needs to be disclosed, and the bottles need to be better inspected.

Product came too late for me to take on my trip. It was supposed to arrive one week before my trip and instead it arrived more than a week after I left on my trip.

The third party shipper missed the deadline by weeks. I cancelled the order and the Walmart CS person suggested I re-order since the order had been lost. I did and they issued a refund. Then a second order arrived and I got a notice that I needed to return the first order or I'd be charged for it. I called and the Walmart rep said he'd have the shipper issue a call tag to return one order. It's been a couple of weeks since then and I've heard nothing yet. So I've been charged for both orders even though I only intended for one. This is all the shipper's fault and with all the automation in the customer service phone and chat "features" it's nearly impossible to get to a live person and their AI can't figure out how to help. The whole process has been unnecessarily frustrating and time consuming and I'm still out money for the second shipment! Don't order from this third party shipper and hopefully you won't have any trouble with even direct orders from Walmart since it's hard to get them to correct their errors!

i never received my order
