cloth until clear. If the water to be treated is being consumed from a known source (such as with a household water supply), then
the low risk dosing, as shown above, can be used. In all other situations with no filtered water , then the high risk dosing is
recommended.
Remove the tablet from the packaging and add to the water. Ensure that the tablet is dispersed (by briefly shaking the vessel or
mixing). Wait 30 minutes for the disinfection to work and then the water is safe to drink. Do not swallow the tablet.

In tropical and temperate conditions Aquatabs have a five year shelf-life in strip packs and a three year shelf-life in tubs. All tablet products
should be protected from exposure to temperature extremes or high humidity . Bringing water to a rolling boil will kill most microorganisms and make the water safe to drink. However, the fuel needed to bring water to a boil may cost more than Aquatabs and long-term
use can damage the environment. Unlike water treated with Aquatabs cooled boiled water has no residual disinfectant and can be easily
recontaminated. Aquatabs be used even in very cold temperatures. Pregnant women also can safely consume water treated by Aquatabs
within the normal dosage levels.
