The only other thing im concerned with it that you have to immerse it in water... im going to Egypt where the water isn't clean... i dont want to create an unhygenic environment to carry my insulin around with me...
If you can drink the water, it's clean enough to recharge the pouch. If you can't drink it, then you are right- do not use it to charge the pouch. It doesn't take a lot of water. You can use one of those reuseable plastic food containers you get in the supermarket (Glad and some other brands). I use the smalles container that the pouch will fit in, put the pouch in it, fill the container with water, and put the lid on. 20 minutes later, you're done. Maybe used .5 liter (2 cups) of water.
