2. Setup and Preparation

2.1 Preparing Water

For optimal results, if the water source is visibly cloudy or contains sediment, it is recommended to pre-filter the water through a clean cloth or a suitable filtration system to remove larger particles before treatment. This step ensures the tablets can work most effectively.

2.2 Dosage and Application

Each 49mg Aquatabs tablet is designed to treat a specific volume of water. Refer to the dosage table in the 'Usage Instructions' section to determine the correct number of tablets for your water volume. To use, simply drop the recommended number of tablets into the water.

This image illustrates the simple three-step process for using Aquatabs: first, gather untreated water; second, drop the tablets into the water; and third, wait 30 minutes before enjoying purified water.

3. Usage Instructions

3.1 Treatment Time

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Taste and Odor

Aquatabs-treated water typically has no unpleasant taste, color, or odor, unlike some iodine-based products. If a slight taste is detected, it is generally minimal and dissipates quickly.

5.2 Persistent Cloudiness

If water remains cloudy after treatment, it indicates that pre-filtration was insufficient. For heavily turbid water, always pre-filter before using Aquatabs to ensure effective purification.

5.3 Safety Precautions

Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of eye contact, flush with plenty of water. Consult a medical professional if irritation persists. Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage and disposal.
