Frequently Asked Questions

Why Use Potable Aqua?
Potable Aqua Water Purification disinfects contaminated drinking water in any situation. Potable Aqua is used worldwide by campers, hikers, militaries, emergency organizations and anyone needing to drink water of questionable bacteriological quality. For use only when drinking water is suspected or known to be microbiologically substandard. Don’t be caught without a source of potable water. Potable Aqua is a lightweight backup to your personal water filter straw, gravity filter, or hand pump water filter.
What is Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide?
Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide is a chlorine dioxide based water purification tablet. When used as directed, each Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide tablet generates a 4 parts per million (ppm) solution of chlorine dioxide gas dissolved in water.
How does Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide work?
Dissolving Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide tablets in water releases chlorine dioxide, a water-soluble gas and powerful biocide that exhibits an effective and rapid kill of multiple organisms under a wide pH range. Chlorine dioxide gas works by penetrating the cell walls of contaminating microorganisms, reacting with vital amino acids within the cell and, ultimately, killing the organism.
How do I use Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide Tablets?
Use Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide Water Purification Tablets in accordance with the directions on the product labeling to kill bacteria, viruses and cysts (Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia muris) in contaminated water. In accordance with the product labeling, remove a tablet from its foil packaging with knife or scissors, and quickly insert into one quart (one liter) of contaminated water. Allow to react for 4 hours, in an area away from sunlight, before drinking.
What is the shelf life of Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide Tablets?
The shelf life of Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide Water Purification Tablets is 4 years from the date of manufacture. Check your package of Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide for the exact expiration date.
What are the advantages of using Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide Tablets?

Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide is convenient to use and can be stored for long periods of time; kills a wide range of bacteria, viruses and cysts; and improves the taste and odor of water, rather than presenting a “chlorine smell” or taste. In addition, with 2.6 times the oxidizing capacity of chlorine, chlorine dioxide has demonstrated four-to-seven times greater biocidal activity at equivalent doses. Among the many advantages offered by Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide Water Purification Tablets as compared to alternative antimicrobial agents are:

  • Demonstrated 4-7 times the biocidal activity of sodium hypochlorite at equivalent doses
  • 2.6 times the oxidizing capacity of chlorine
  • Actually improves the taste and smell of water
  • Effective at low concentrations (4PPM) and over a wide pH range
  • Biodegrades in the environment
  • Does not generate harmful by-products
