G'day Darryl,
Yes, the Micropur Forte Tablets will do a good job of eliminating bacteria and viruses in your water on the Kokoda track. They are recommended for use in clear water though so if you're having to pull water from natural waterways it might be worth pairing it with a filter.

Hi, i note the dosage is 1 tab per 1L if water. Would it matter much if you dissolved 1 tab in a 700mL bottle of water, if thats the size you’re using? Cheers

G'day Martin,
That won't be a worry at all. It'll just mean you go through your packet of Katadyn Micropur Forte Tablets quicker than if you were using one per litre.
