It must be Iodide tablets, which replaced iodine tablets. Some campers are using a battery (2 AA) powered ultraviolet light. Some people use drops of chlorine. Chlorine is cheap, if it leaks it will ruin clothes. The iodide tablets are portable, they react to light and can kill the good bacteria in your stomach. I don't know much about the ultraviolet lights, people using them, seem to be satisfied. There is also a product called aqua mira where two separate chemicals are mixed together and added to drinking water, people using aqua mira seem to be satisfied.

I do not blame u for getting upset with people, some people do not know how 2 read the full question before they start with the critisisms. Sometimes rushing an animal2 the vet is not always needed especially when u state u already called the vet and they told u what 2 do. Some people do not understand that all vets do not require for a person 2 take the animal in unless absolutely necessary and will tell u what 2 do with a simple phone call. These are the vets that are not just out to make a buck. I have done call ins many of times and did not require an expensive vet visit.

A good brand is Puritab, Aquatab are cheaper but less effective (both contain the same purifying ingredient) - however many armed forces actually use the Aquatab pills as they feel the Puritab ones have too much active ingredient

Try an army navy surplus store or a sporting goods store. You can also use 1 table spoon of Clorox to 1 gallon of water.

They used to use 'quinine' tablets. I don't know if they still do.
Some added (maybe useless) information: My brother uses high strength 'Hydrogen Peroxide' from swimming pool suppliers (food grade), but it's in a liquid form. He swears by it. He plays around in the South American jungles, a lot, and always returns alive, so I guess it works.

You can get them at Walmart in the camping section, they are "potable water" tabs.
