Product Details

Aquatabs Water Purification Tablets 1L | 50 Pack are a straightforward way to disinfect raw or pre-treated water when you can’t rely on the source. Each tablet is dosed for 1L of clear, room-temperature water, with instructions to double the dosage to two tablets for dirty, cloudy, stained, and/or cold (4° C) water. After mixing well for at least 10 minutes and letting it stand for 30 minutes, the water is treated for drinking, brushing teeth, cooking, and washing fruits, vegetables, and produce.

These Aquatabs are iodine-free and chlorite-free, individually foil sealed, and carry a 5-year shelf life from the date of manufacturer. They’re NSF 60 approved, using NaDCC (sodium dichloroisocyanurate) to produce a measured dose of free chlorine when dissolved in water. Designed to be compact and easy to handle, they’re built for camping, hiking, boating, travel, and emergency preparedness, with printed French and English instructions packaged in Canada.
