Directions For Use:
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
- Mix
- Open a packet using a pair of scissors.
- Add the contents of the packet to a clean mixing container holding 2.5 gallons/10 liters of water.
- Stir
- Stir the powder vigorously in the water for 5 minutes. Be sure a vortex is created when stirring. Then, let the water stand for 5 minutes until it becomes clear.
- After adding the powder to the water, the water will become colored. The color indicates that the product is working. When the process is finished, the water will be crystal clear.
- Filter
- If you see the water is still colored, you can stir again and let it rest for another few minutes.
- Once the water looks clear, and the floc is at the bottom of the container, filter the water through a clean cloth filter into a clean storage container and cover it with a lid.
- The filter must be a clean, thick 100% cotton cloth, without holes, that prevents the floc from passing through. Carefully pour the clear water through the cloth into a container. The floc will be left behind in the bottom of the container and in the cloth filter.
- Discard the floc from the water treatment process in the latrine, or on the ground away from children and animals. Rinse and wash the cloth thoroughly before reusing.
- Before Drinking
- Wait 20 minutes before drinking the water.
- Do not drink water if it is colored or cloudy after treatment. If the floc accidentally gets into the treated water, use another cloth to filter the floc out of the treated water. The water is still good to drink.
- Drink treated water within 24 hours after its preparation. Water that is not consumed may be used for cooking, washing, watering animals or otherwise discarded.
- ALWAYS dispense the water from the storage container into another container, such as a cup or glass for drinking.
