I have used them in the past, but I crush the tablet and make a very light mix in a bottle first, then pour that in.

Really hate the smell/taste of chlorine.

When we went last year, I carried extra cans of water to try to avoid this situation.

Good luck, safe travels.

Check out Micropur tablets.I use these for backpacking as well and don't notice any chlorine taste. My water supply is a 5 gal Scepter can sitting on an AT holder plus a 2.5 gal Scepter can for drinking water only.  It may not be practical for you to treat 20 gallons at a time but maybe you could treat 3-4 gallons separately for drinking water and then boil water as needed for coffee and other cooking needs.

Consider the Sawyer water filtration products.

Gravity feed filtration for larger volumes.

Smaller volumes or to carry in your hiking kit.

Home Depot carries food safe buckets for use with the gravity feed unit.

I prefer the liquid type of chlorination. You actually need very little. A small carbon filter can help to remove the taste.
