Aquatabs Water Purification Equipment Flo

Aquatabs Flo Water Purification System

Aquatabs® Flo is an award-winning, high-efficiency water purification system designed to transform unsafe water into drinking water that meets international standards. Its standout features include "automated dosing" and "zero electricity requirement." Whether for household water tanks, schools, clinics, or community wells, Aquatabs® Flo automatically releases precise dosages of purification agents as water flows into the tank, killing 99.9% of pathogenic microorganisms and ensuring every drop of your stored water is safe.

Active Ingredient: Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Dihydrate (NaDCC)

Country of Origin: Ireland / Medentech, Wexford, Ireland

Aquatabs Flo Features and Mechanism

• Fully Automated Operation: Dosing occurs automatically whenever water flows, eliminating the need for daily manual additions.
• No Electricity Required: Operates purely through fluid dynamics; no batteries or external power sources are needed, making it ideal for remote or off-grid environments.
• Low Maintenance: The system has no moving parts and is highly durable; the device only needs to be replaced when the chemical agent is depleted.
• Extreme Safety: Effectively kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms.
• International Certification: System components are NSF/ANSI Standard 61 certified, and the chemical agent complies with international drinking water standards.
• Refreshing Taste: Patented technology ensures a stable dosing concentration, preventing an overpowering chlorine taste.
• Water Treatment Capacity: A single cartridge can treat up to 90,000 liters of water (depending on water quality and flow rate).

How Aquatabs® Flo Works:

• The device is installed on the inlet pipe of a water storage tank. As the water source enters the tank, the flow is directed through (or partially through) a cartridge containing the chemical tablets.

• The cartridge contains high-concentration NaDCC solid tablets. When the water flow contacts the tablet surface, a trace amount of dissolution (erosion) occurs. The tablet's physical structure is specially engineered to ensure a very stable dissolution rate.

• The high-concentration water flow infused with the agent immediately mixes with the main water flow, precisely diluting the chlorine concentration to a safe range for drinking (usually set between 0.5 ppm and 2.0 ppm).

• The treated water retains an appropriate level of residual chlorine, preventing secondary contamination (such as algae or bacterial growth) while the water is stored in the tank.

Detailed Usage and Installation Guide for Aquatabs® Flo:

Installation Location (Point of Entry)

• Gravity-fed systems: Install on the inlet pipe leading to the rooftop water tank.

• Ground-level storage tanks: Install on the piping at the outlet of the water pump leading into the tank.

• Installation Steps: Connect the main body of the device to the inlet pipe, ensuring the water flow direction matches the arrow indicated on the device.

• If you are filling the tank for the "first time" after installation, follow these steps to ensure absolute safety:

  1. Open the water source: Allow water to pass through Aquatabs Flo to fill the entire tank.

  2. Close the power/water source: Once the tank is full, stop the water inflow.

  3. Stagnation time: Ensure the water sits for at least 30 minutes. This is necessary for the agent to fully react with bacteria and viruses in the water to achieve complete sterilization; do not open the tap to draw water for drinking during this time.

  4. Flush the initial water: After 30 minutes, open the tap and drain approximately 1-2 liters of water (this flushes out any old standing water in the pipes that may not have been fully disinfected).

  5. Normal use: Thereafter, as long as the tank is not completely drained, it is safe to turn on the tap at any time.

• Dosing Adjustment: This is the device's most unique feature. You can adjust the chemical concentration based on local water quality or taste preferences:

  • Full Flow (100% Flow): If the water source is heavily contaminated, allow all incoming water to pass through the cartridge for maximum concentration (approx. 2 ppm), treating about 90,000 liters.
  • Split Flow Mode: Through the adjustment valve on the device or a bypass pipe installed during setup, allow only 25%–50% of the water to flow through the cartridge, with the remainder flowing directly into the tank.
    • 50% Split: Concentration drops to approx. 1 ppm; treatment capacity doubles to 180,000 liters.
    • 25% Split: Concentration drops to approx. 0.5 ppm (mildest taste); treatment capacity can reach 360,000 liters.

Aquatabs Scope of Application

This product is designed for "rapid treatment of large volumes of water" and is particularly suitable for the following scenarios:

• Hospital Field Camps: Supporting medical hygiene and care water requirements.
• Earthquake Response: Assisting in the restoration of usable drinking water and reducing disease transmission.
• Drought Support Plans: Improving water treatment efficiency and safety in water-scarce environments.

Aquatabs Purification Tablet Operation Guide: Complete Steps for Ensuring Safe Drinking Water

The Importance of Safe Drinking Water

Access to safe drinking water is a fundamental human right, yet billions of people worldwide still rely on potentially contaminated sources. Unsafe water is the primary cause of preventable waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery, which are particularly dangerous to children and vulnerable groups.

Ensuring that drinking water is safe "at the point of consumption" is one of the most critical and impactful steps in public health.

This guide provides a simple and effective method for purifying drinking water using Aquatabs purification tablets. Aquatabs is a globally trusted brand, widely used in various settings.

Understanding Purification Tablets: How Aquatabs Works

Before you begin, understanding the chemistry behind Aquatabs is helpful. The active ingredient in Aquatabs is sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC), a chlorine-based compound. When the tablet dissolves in water, it releases "free chlorine," which acts as a powerful disinfectant.

Free chlorine oxidizes and destroys the cell walls of harmful microorganisms (such as bacteria, viruses, and specific cysts), inactivating them and making the water safe to drink. This principle makes portable water purification a reliable option for quickly obtaining safe drinking water while camping, hiking, or during emergencies.

• Aquatabs is trusted and utilized by NGOs and public health organizations worldwide.
  
• Aquatabs is widely used in emergency relief for diarrheal diseases, water supply projects in developing countries, and medical use in remote areas.
• Aquatabs is certified to NSF international drinking water safety standards and approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), with strictly verified, safe, and reliable active ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions About Purification Tablets

Are purification tablets really effective?

Absolutely! Aquatabs is a long-standing purification method used by major NGOs and medical units globally, and its effectiveness has been scientifically verified. It is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 60, and its active ingredient is approved by the US EPA. Experimental data shows: Bacteria: 99.9999% reduction; Viruses: 99.99% reduction; Parasitic cysts (such as Giardia): 99.9% reduction. So, whether for disaster preparedness, travel, or daily drinking, you can drink with peace of mind using Aquatabs.

How long do purification tablets take to work?

Aquatabs requires at least 30 minutes to complete disinfection. This waiting time is crucial, as the active ingredients need sufficient contact time to fully neutralize bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms to ensure the water is truly safe to drink.

Can purification tablets be used on any water source?

It is recommended for use in clear water for optimal effectiveness. If the water appears cloudy, contains silt, or has visible particles, you must filter it first (using a clean cloth, coffee filter, or a dedicated water filter). This removes large debris, allowing the disinfectant action of Aquatabs to focus on invisible bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.

Using Aquatabs correctly is a simple, fast, and reliable way to ensure drinking water safety during travel, camping, or household emergencies, providing you with greater peace of mind.
