Aquatabs (49mg NaDCC) are the global benchmark for chemical water disinfection, trusted worldwide by defense forces, international aid agencies, and backcountry adventurers. They deliver rapid, medical-grade pathogen neutralization in an ultralight, highly shelf-stable package.
Each 2-pack bundle contains 60 tablets total, capable of treating up to 120 quarts (30 gallons) of clear drinking water.
Key Technical Features
  • Broad-Spectrum Disinfection: Delivers a 99.9999% reduction in bacteria (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella, Vibrio cholerae), 99.99% reduction in viruses, and 99.9% reduction in Giardia cysts.
  • Active Compound: Powered by Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC), releasing precise free hypochlorous acid to destroy organic cell walls fast.

  • Rapid Effervescence: Dissolves completely within minutes and fully purifies standard water in 30 minutes.

  • Palatability: Engineered to maintain a neutral pH, leaving water tasting clear and tap-like without the harsh chemical odor or dark discoloration of iodine.

  • Long Shelf Life: Individually sealed in water-resistant foil strips with a 5-year shelf life.

Primary Applications

  • Emergency Preparedness & Bug-Out Bags: Essential compact backup for home blackout kits, emergency preps, and survival gear where storing bulk bottled water is impractical.

  • Tactical & Off-Grid Exploration: Ultralight gear for backcountry hiking, bushcraft, and outdoor camping—eliminating the weight of heavy water or bulky hardware.

  • Overland, RV & Marine Systems: Frequently added to freshwater holding tanks in camper vans, overland rigs, and boats to keep stored water sanitized during long trips.

  • International Travel: Protects against local tap-water contaminants, brush-teeth hazards, and unsanitary water sources when traveling.

Dosage & Usage Instructions

Water Condition Treatment Ratio Wait Time
Clear Water (Tap, clear streams/lakes) 1 tablet per 2 Liters (~2 quarts / 0.5 gal) 30 Minutes
Cloudy / Cold / Murky Water 1 tablet per 1 Liter (~1 quart) 30 Minutes
Emergency Sourced / Heavy Organic Risk 2 tablets per 1 Liter 30–60 Minutes

 

How to Use:
  1. Filter Heavy Sediment First: If water is visibly dirty, pre-filter through a clean cloth, bandana, or pre-filter to remove large floating particulates.
  2. Add Tablet: Drop 1 tablet per 2 Liters (if clear) or 1 tablet per 1 Liter (if cold/cloudy) into your container.
  3. Mix & Flush Cap Threads: Agitate until dissolved. Loosen the cap slightly and tilt the bottle so a small amount of treated water splashes over the bottle threads and cap rim.
  4. Wait 30 Minutes: Allow the container to sit unopened for 30 minutes before drinking (extend to 60 minutes if water is near freezing).
Note: NaDCC chemical tablets do not eliminate Cryptosporidium oocysts or heavy metals. Pair with a  0.1 micron physical filter for complete full-spectrum field filtration.
