Intertech Aviation Service's ill-advised repackaging of the Potable Aqua tablets is unacceptable in our opinion. In a few cases, the knife and Potable Aqua being most notable, the item pictured in their promotional literature for the Res-Q-Pak is superior to the product actually included in the kit, a serious deception, from our perspective. We rate this kit as "poor" and cannot recommend it. In addition, in our view, this kit is grossly overpriced for the generally substandard quality of the majority of items in the kit.
