Safe Water. No matter the source.
The most trusted name in water purification products, Potable Aqua® is used by various militaries and relief organizations around the world. Potable Aqua products provide time-tested, simple-to-use water treatment options for campers, backpackers and other outdoor enthusiasts.
The brand features 3 products:
Potable Aqua® Drinking Water Germicidal Tablets -  for use only when drinking water is suspected or known to be bacteriologically substandard. Not to be used on a continuous basis. For short term or limited emergency use only.
Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide Water Purification Tablets - for anyone needing to drink water of questionable microbiological quality. Effective against viruses, bacteria, and cysts - such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
COMING SOON:Â Potable Aqua PUREâ„¢ Electrolytic Water Purifier -Â Using a simple brine mixture (salt + water), this device produces a disinfectant solution capable of purifying even the dirtiest of water.
Potable Aqua® Drinking Water Germicidal Tablets make water bacteriologically suitable for drinking. They contain iodine in a proprietary compound called TGHP. Each tablet contains 20 milligrams of TGHP, which liberates 8 milligrams (ppm) of titratable iodine. As indicated by label directions, the recommended dosage of Potable Aqua is two tablets in one liter or quart of water. When the tablet dissolves in water, it releases both free iodine and hypoiodous acid. Both are effective germicidal compounds. Potable Aqua tablets also contain a buffering agent that brings the pH of the water to a slightly acidic level to optimize the disinfecting properties of the iodine.
Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide Water Purification Tablets also produce chlorine dioxide, but only when they come into contact with water or when they are exposed to moisture in ambient air. When sealed in airtight containers, such as the foil strip packs in which they are contained, they can be stored and used when needed.
Chlorine dioxide, a water-soluble gas, is an extremely effective and powerful biocide that has been used for many years, exhibiting rapid kill over a wide range of organisms. It does not form chlorinated molecules in the presence of organics and is efficacious over a wide pH range.
Although chlorine and chlorine dioxide share the word "chlorine" in their names, their chemistries are very different. Unlike chlorine, chlorine dioxide doesn't chlorinate. It works through oxidation and penetrates bacteria cell walls and reacts with vital amino acids in the cytoplasm of the cell to kill the organism. However for most applications, chlorine dioxide must be produced and used at the same location because the compound is unstable and in large quantities cannot be stored or transported.
Now, Potable Aqua antimicrobial technology allows for the delivery of chlorine dioxide in a stable tablet form.
The NEW Potable Aqua PUREâ„¢ Electrolytic Water Purifier is the smallest, easiest and most cost effective water purification device on the market. Using a simple brine mixture (salt + water), this device produces a disinfectant solution capable of purifying even the dirtiest of water. Great for campers, hikers, militaries, emergency organizations and anyone needing drinkable water, Potable Aqua® PUREâ„¢ inactivates viruses, bacteria, Giardia and Cryptosporidium killing 99.9% of all organisms without pre-filtering, pumping or stirring.Â
