Aqua Germicidal Water Purifier Tabs

Great for International Travel

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that between 30% and 70% of international travelers suffer some form of Traveler's Diarrhea (TD), calling TD "the most predictable travel-related illness."

The most common causes of water-borne TD are bacteria, such as E. coli, cholera and salmonella, which are reduced or eliminated by Potable Aqua® Drinking Water Germicidal Tablets.

Iodine, in the concentration released by Potable Aqua, has been found to kill the following organisms:

• Escherichia coli
• Vibrio cholerae
• Salmonella typhosa
• Salmonella typhimurium
• Salmonella paratyphi
• Shigella dysenteriae
• Shigella flexneri
• Shigella sonnei
• Aerobacter aerogenes
• Klebsiella terrigena
• Streptococcus faecalis
• Leptospira icterohaemmorrhagiae
• Infectious hepatitis
• Poliomyelitis
• Entamoeba histolytica (amobic dysentery)

Potable Aqua has long been considered one of the best germicidal tablets for drinking water on the market. Potable Aqua was developed by the U.S. Military during World War II and is still used by the military today. The Australian Military and The Boy Scouts of America also use it, along with various relief organizations, mission groups and outdoor enthusiasts throughout the world.

Potable Aqua provides an accurate dose, and is effective over extreme conditions such as cloudy water, low temperatures, and extreme pH. It is simple to use, foolproof, and time-efficient. It does not require mixing two parts together, or a waiting period for it to activate before it can be used. Usage is time efficient, and the water is ready to drink in 30 minutes. It does not neutralize or remove chemical contaminants or remove particulate. Potable Aqua may be used in conjunction with a water filter. It is effective against bacteria, viruses, and many cysts such as giuardia lamblia. Potable Aqua is not effective against cryptosporidium cysts.

While the iodine may impart a "taste" to the water, this is easily resolved by using PA Plus after the 30-minute disinfection period. PA Plus takes away the taste and odor of the iodine by converting it to colorless and odorless iodide. Iodine is a convenient and effective water purifier.
