Instructions for use:
The flocculation/ disinfection powder is used to purify turbid water in cases of emergency. The coagulant part of the powder will form floc and separate the contaminants in water that will settle to the bottom of the container. These contaminants include dirt, pesticides, and possibly some heavy metals.
The disinfecting part will release Chlorine in water that will kill the harmful micro-organisms. Enough residual Chlorine is left behind to ensure safe drinking water.
After the specified time that varies according to manufacturer, but generally around 15 minutes, the water is poured through a cloth to separate the floc from the clear potable water.
