Aquamira Water Purification Tablets - 24 Pack

"Aquamira Water Purification Tablets contain a unique chlorine dioxide formula that produces a powerful germacidal agent when released in water..."

Overview

Aquamira Water Purifier Tablets provide all the benefits of Aquamira Water Treatment Drops, but in a lighter and easier-to-use solid tablet.

Each tablet purifies one liter (~32oz.) of water and is sealed in an individual foil pouch. The individual tablet pouches are stored inside a resealable storage pouch that decreases packaging waste and keeps all of your foil packets in one place. To use, simply drop one tablet into one liter of water and wait the required time (see instructions on packaging for wait times).

An EPA Registered Purifier, Aquamira Water Purifier Tablets contain a patented chlorine dioxide formula that produces a powerful germicidal agent when released in water. When used as directed, Aquamira Water Purifier Tablets meet the EPA guidelines for Microbiological Water Purifiers making it one of the safest solutions on the market. Aquamira Water Purifier Tablets will not discolor water and often improve the taste of wilderness water.

Technology

Chlorine dioxide, a well established disinfectant, is generated when Aquamira Water Purifier Tablets come in contact with water. Chlorine dioxide is iodine- and chlorine-free. The unique formula works by releasing nascent oxygen, a highly active form of oxygen, which is a strong oxidant and a powerful germicidal agent. Chlorine dioxide has been used by municipal water treatment plants to kill a variety of waterborne pathogens since the late 1940s. Unlike free chlorine (familiar as household bleach) or other halogen chemicals (such as iodine), chlorine dioxide does not create potentially harmful by-products.

Aquamira’s key benefits are clearly evident when compared to the other common portable water treatment chemical: iodine. Most importantly, chlorine dioxide is a significantly stronger oxidant than iodine, with greater pathogen killing power. Unlike iodine, chlorine dioxide does not discolor water, nor does it give water an unpleasant taste. In fact, chlorine dioxide is often used to improve the taste of water by neutralizing unpleasant flavors.

Testimonial

"My strategy for reducing weight using Aquamira Water Purifier Tablets on long backcountry treks is to primarily use them for treating larger volumes of water while in camp. Before going to bed, I'll collect water for the next day's breakfast and morning water needs, add Aquamira Tablets, and then let them treat the water while I sleep. Then, when I get up in the morning, my water is at my side and I'm ready to go." - Ryan Jordan
