The container I received was nearly empty. Perhaps 1 "capful" was in the jar. I suspect the product had been on the shelf a while and the iodine had sublimed. Amazon allows a refund but I must drop it off at a UPS center which is not close by. So, I must either forfeit the $13.00 or waste an hour of my time returning it. My advice is to exercise your judgement when ordering things on line which are essentially perishable.

This should definitely be in everyone's survival kit - follow the directions and you should have no problems. Just in case anyone has concerns, the iodine crystals will not come out of the bottle. There is a nice little "crystal catcher" built into the bottle that prevents them from falling out; trust me, it was the first thing I checked! Since the bottle is glass, I made a bubble-wrap sleeve for it to cut down the risk of breakage; however, I think you would have to work overtime to break it because the bottle looks like it could survive falling out of your pack.

Pros: Its a small compact bottle that is able to disinfect large amounts of water.its very convenient, no having to worry about measuring.Unlike other disinfecting products, this doesn't expire which makes storing easy. For the price its the best thing around.(cleans 500 gallons instead of 25)
Cons: The bottle doesn't come sealed. I'm worried about somebody tampering with the bottle(shrink wrap isn't expensive).Like someone said before the bottle is made out of glass and might break.
Overall a great product to have in an emergency preparedness kit or camping backpack. I do a lot of hiking and it will come in handy.

I had read in books that one of the best methods for purifying water was by using iodine crystals, but I must admit, I didn't really understand the concept.
This is a bottle that is about 3 inches high, inside is a relatively small amount of iodine crystals that appear similar in size and shape to shotgun pellets.
The process is to fill the small bottle with water, let it sit for an hour, and then pour the liquid from the bottle (measured in capfuls using the bottle cap) into a liter of water for purification. On the side of the bottle is a simplified strip thermometer which indicates how many capfuls of liquid to use based on the temperature of the solution. The bottle has a built in mechanism (really just a tube but it is difficult to explain) that prevents the iodine crystals from being poured out of the bottle during the process.
The process is similar to using water purification tablets with the added advantage of indefinite shelf life and lower cost.
The bottle has all instructions 'painted' on the side which is an added plus. The product also comes with an short description of various purification methods, which is both interesting and 'transparent' as the company is not just promoting their own product.
The company's web site is basic and provides more details if you have interest; and, to give them credit, they responded to one of my e-mail questions within an hour.
If I was starting a basic disaster / survival kit, this would be one of my first four purchases; behind a flashlight, first aid kit, and a good knife.
Two things to note...the bottle is thick glass (I would guess relatively hard to break) and if you keep the bottle full of water, take steps to ensure that the water does not freeze as the bottle will likely break.
An interesting approach to water purification and a well-implemented product.

Shri says, "Just dip your water bottle over the side of the canoe to fill, add a capful of Polar Pure solution, shake, and wait 20 minutes" - but this may be dangerous advice. The problem is any water left on the outside of Shri's water bottle was, of course, not cleaned by putting iodine inside the bottle. Since Shri didn't get sick, the water was probably never contaminated (often the case). Shri should have, perhaps did, "burp" the treated water bottle in order to clean the outside as well. Just as important, though, is to regularly clean hands and cooking utensils (since these are more often the sources of bacteria and viruses). You can reduce the minor iodine aftertaste by halving the dose and doubling the wait time - including doubling either dose or time if water is cloudy (easier with this product than tablets like Potable Aqua Water Treatment Tablets). Instead, I add an acidic sport mix to both counter (turns the iodine to iodide) and cover aftertaste (only after 30 minutes to next day wait to let iodine first do its work). I dilute powder with twice recommended water to aid faster digestion.
Issues being addressed are large 2-15 micron Protozoa and medium 0.2-0.6 micron Bacteria most likely to affect dehydration by causing diarrhea as well as rare small 0.02-0.03 micron Viruses from other humans (so, animal waste not really a problem) most feel are actually not likely in U.S. Issues not being addressed include very large 25 micron tapeworm eggs, etc from raw sewage contamination (dealt with by any filtration including with coffee filter or boiling). Tennimon's natural sand filter suggestion could take a week to work optimally (so, water should be treated anyway) and his claim of nasty taste (while never trying) is wholly unfounded. Just fill the Polar Pure bottle with water and shake. The solution will be ready for use in about an hour. The particle trap should prevent crystals from getting into the water - this is important as iodine in a crystal is poisonous and can burn tissue or eyes. Always refill the bottle so the solution will be ready for next use. Enough to treat about 2,000 quarts (compared to 50 quarts for tablets).
When camping, take water from the surface since it will be cleaned by the sun's ultraviolet rays while giving floc a chance to settle. Important to remember iodine is less effective (requiring more) if water is below "room" temperature, so warming water first can be useful (say, by leaving in sun). Best if water is filtered in any way (even if just with a coffee filter) as floc can shield pathogens from iodine (and no one likes to chew their water). Even the very best filters, though, can possibly leave some types of viruses (which are tiny dead protein fragments) but which iodine will destroy. I prefer this to other forms of iodine as well as chlorine (if just for the indefinite shelf life) - only other treatment product I would consider is Aqua Mira Water Treatment (1 kit) (good for 120 quarts). No treatment, of course, will affect toxins like industrial waste or heavy metals from mining tailings. Don't use if allergic to shellfish (since you may also be allergic to iodine). Good for foreign travel as well as backpacking. Homeland Security also recommends having at home in case of emergency, they prefer boiling or filtering AND treating water to be 100% safe.
