Who buys it, and why

Water purification tablets refers to small chemical tablets, usually chlorine dioxide or sodium dichloroisocyanurate, dropped into water to make it safer to drink when no treated supply is available. People search them when packing for camping, travel or emergencies. In practice, buyers are hikers, travellers and households building preparedness kits, shopping online and at outdoor stores. Demand tends to rise after storms, boil-water notices and news about supply problems. It is a real, repeat-purchase product type with low cost and long shelf life, and it fits bundled emergency kits, although safety claims must be accurate and established brands already hold the shelf.
