Why do you need Water Purification Tablets? 

Following a disaster, there may not be any safe drinking water available. When the electricity goes out, water treatment plants may stop working causing tap water to become unsafe for consumption.

Material: Each tablet contains 20 mg of Tetraglycine Hydroperiodide (TGHP) which liberates 8 milligrams (ppm) of titratable iodine. Diatomic iodine (12) and hypoiodous acid (HIO) are the most prevalent entities. Because the tablets contain a buffer, the treated water is maintained at acidic conditions with an approximate pH level of 5.5. Diatomic iodine is more abundant than hypoiodous acid, as this mixture provides adequate disinfection of most waters.
Features & Functions:

  • Germicidal treatment provides a controlled, consistent dose of iodine. When dissolved, both diatomic iodine (I2) and hypoiodous acid (HIO) are released. Because the tablets contain a buffer, the treated water is maintained at acidic conditions with an approximate pH level of 5.5. Diatomic iodine is more abundant than hypoiodous acid. This mixture provides adequate disinfection of most waters.
  • Chemical reaction rates, and consequently germicidal effects, are subject to variables such as water temperature and level of contamination in the water. For this reason, two tablets of Potable Aqua and a 30-minute waiting period are required before drinking the water. The iodine works by penetrating the cell wall of the microorganism, therefore rendering it inactive.
