NaDCC – the gold standard in water disinfection
Sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) releases hypochlorous acid (HOCl) upon dissolution – a disinfectant approximately 100 times more effective than other chlorine compounds. Unlike conventional chlorine tablets, NaDCC is more stable, safer to handle and requires no protective equipment. The tablets are manufactured to pharmaceutical standards and EU GMP guidelines.
Simple application – one tablet, one litre
Drop one Aquatabs tablet into 1 litre of clear water. The effervescent tablet dissolves in under 3 minutes. After 30 minutes the water is ready to drink. For cold or turbid water, double the dose (2 tablets per litre) and wait 60 minutes. Filter turbid water through a clean cloth beforehand.
Reliable protection in the field
Aquatabs eliminate 99.9999% of all bacteria (incl. E. coli, Salmonella, Cholera), 99.99% of all viruses (incl. Rotavirus, Norovirus) and 99.9% of all Giardia cysts. Protection lasts at least 24 hours. The foil-sealed strips have a 5-year shelf life and take up minimal space in any backpack, survival kit or first aid kit.
Proven worldwide – from NATO to WHO
Aquatabs are the global standard for water purification in emergencies and military operations. They are used by WHO, NATO (NSN 6850-99-225-1833), UNICEF, the Red Cross and the US EPA. Over 13 million people use Aquatabs daily – treating more than 11 billion litres of water per year.
