Hey John,
There is nothing about that bag that sterilizes water. It's just a bag

it with water and add iodine or halazone tablets, or chlorine powder.
Field expedient water purification. They hung them at all ranges and
training areas in the 60's, filled with ice water, and liberally dosed
with salt tablets. Can't say I ever actually saw one in use in Vietnam,
but that doesn't mean that they weren't used there, just never saw one.
I ran water points in Vietnam, but we generally filled water buffalos
and tanker trucks, not small containers. They might have had Lister bags
hanging by the Mess Halls.

that was hung for water in a central area. I believe that they are
still in use today. I'm always amazed at some of the descriptions that
these guys come up with. I had one guy swear that he had a real US Army
issue battle sword that was used in Vietnam in battle and that it "still
had dried VC blood" on it! He was "only" asking $500.00 for the opening
bid with a reserve higher than that!
