BPL Mini Drop Bottle Two-Pack

The BPL Mini Drop Bottle Two-Packs are designed and color coded for users of McNett's Aquamira water treatment product. Aquamira comes in a two-bottle set weighing approximately three ounces. BPL recommends re-packaging the Aquamira fluids into these miniature bottles (with caps color-coded to match Aquamira) to save approximately two ounces.

Original Aquamira bottles and these Mini Dropper bottles have slightly different sized openings through which fluid is dispensed, so the quantity of drops used to treat a given quantity of water from the Aquamira bottles will vary from the quantity of drops from the Mini Dropper bottles.

To calculate the approximate ratio of drop sizes between these bottles and stock Aquamira bottles, compare the number of drops required to fill a child's liquid prescription dispenser to 3 milliliters. For example, if 50 drops of liquid are required for 3 milliliters when dispensed out of an Aquamira stock bottle, and 60 drops of liquid are required for 3 milliliters when dispensed out of this bottle, then 8-9 drops of Aquamira dispensed out of this bottle are required to achieve the equivalent 7-drop dosing out of a stock Aquamira bottle (e.g., 7*60/50).

Features:

Function: These bottles include a dropper insert (removable for re-filling or for packaging more viscous solutions or powders) and cap.
Bottles: The bottles accept permanent ink well - we recommend felt tip "Sharpie" brand pens for writing on the bottles (noting that alcohol-based solutions will still wash off the ink). To avoid your markings wearing off, place a small piece of clear packing tape atop it.
Capacity: 8 mL capacity (0.25 oz of water). If you were to repackage your Aquamira solutions into these bottles, a 2-bottle set might give you enough solution to treat about 20 liters of water (see information below under "Drop Size" regarding Aquamira dosing with these bottles), and collectively weigh 1 oz (as compared to a full Aquamira set, which weighs more than 3 oz). Thus, we recommend the smaller bottles for shorter trips or as a backup when a filter is your primary means of water treatment.
Material: These bottles are opaque to prevent reaction of solutions with UV light resulting from sun exposure, which can reduce the efficacy of some chemicals, including Aquamira, bleach, DEET, antimicrobial soaps, and others. The plastic material is a high density polyethyelene, does not leach plasticizers into your solutions (these are food- and pharma-grade bottles), does not react with Aquamira, DEET, alcohol, or any water or soap-based solutions, and most importantly, are very light!
Drop Size Comments: Please be aware that drop sizes for any bottle are going to be dependent upon two factors: the viscosity of the fluid being dispensed and the design of the dropper tip.
