Usage & Dosage Instructions

For best results, adjust your dosage based on your location and water quality:

Risk Level Dosage (per 167mg Tablet) Wait Time
Low Risk (e.g., Europe) 1 Tablet per 20–25 Liters 30 Minutes
Medium Risk (e.g., Asia) 1 Tablet per 10–12.5 Liters 30 Minutes
High Risk (Giardia/Bilharzia)      2 Tablets per 10–12.5 Liters 30 Minutes

The "Smell Test": There should be a faint chlorine scent after treatment. If you cannot smell any chlorine, re-treat the water. Always test for residual chlorine where possible.


Versatile Applications

  • Backpacking & Camping: Lightweight protection for backcountry water sources.

  • International Travel: Safety insurance against contaminated tap water.

  • Emergency Prepping: Long shelf life makes these ideal for "Go-Bags" and home survival kits.

  • Boating: A compact backup for onboard water tanks.

  • Ultimate Convenience: Lightweight, tearable strip packs are designed for life on the move—easily slip them into a travel wallet, hiking pack, or emergency "Go-Bag."

  • Simple & Fast: No measuring or mixing required. Simply drop one tablet into your water, and it’s purified and ready to drink in just 30 minutes.

  • Quality Assured: Sleep easy knowing your water is treated with an NSF-certified and US EPA-approved active ingredient (NaDCC).

F.A.Q

Do Aquatabs change the taste of the water?  Unlike older iodine-based tablets, Aquatabs do not leave a bitter taste or discolor the water. You may notice a very faint scent of chlorine, similar to city tap water, which confirms the water has been successfully treated.

What is the shelf life of the 167mg tablets? Aquatabs are known for their excellent stability. When stored in a cool, dry place in their original strip packaging, they typically have a shelf life of 3 to 5 years from the date of manufacture.

Are Aquatabs safe for long-term use? Yes, Aquatabs are designed for both emergencies and daily use in areas without safe water infrastructure. The active ingredient, NaDCC, is used by health organizations worldwide for ongoing water treatment.

Can I use these in cloudy or muddy water? If the water is heavily clouded with sediment, we recommend filtering it through a cloth or fine mesh before adding the tablet. Suspended particles can "shield" bacteria from the treatment, so starting with clearer water ensures maximum effectiveness.

Is it safe for pregnant women or children? When used at the recommended dosages, water treated with Aquatabs is safe for the whole family, including children and pregnant women.
