Aquapura contains Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC), a
chlorine-releasing compound. This compound is used in 67 countries for
water purification. The World Health Organization, Red Cross and The
Bureau of India Standards have recommended NaDCC for the purpose of
water purification. NaDCC is used by almost all state-governments in
India for water purification.
Yes, NaDCC also known as Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate is one of the few water purification ingredients in the market today which is certified to NSF / ANSI 60. It is also US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) approved. NaDCC also conform to WHO Specification (The New Emergency Health Kit 98), United Nations Development Programme (UNCCS Code 356461), International Red Cross Society (Standard Specifications for Water and Sanitation) and Red Crescent Movement specification (Code: Type 21.1), Oxfam Agency, The European Standard(en) For Chemicals Use For Water Intended for Human Consumption (NaDCC Tablets Code-EN 12931:2000), UNICEF Specification (Codes: S1588350 / S158355 / S15350 / S 0003245), The German Drinking Water Regulations, The U.K. Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and Regions (In accordance with The Water Supply / Water Quality Regulations 1989 No. 1147, under Regulation 25 (1) A for disinfection of water and water supply system), The French High Council for Public Health & Ministry of Employment and Solidarity, and NATO Stock Number (NSN) 6850-99-225-1833).
Each Aquapura Tablet contains measured dose of Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate, commonly referred to as NaDCC. When added to water Aquapura dissolves to release a measured dose of Hypochlorous Acid (free available chlorine) that is universally recognized as a safe and effective water disinfectant.
No, unlike other water purification treatments such as Iodine or
Chlorine Dioxide, Aquapura Water Purification Tablets will not colour
the water or leave an unpleasant taste. NaDCC works very differently
from traditional chlorine, and as such, it is very difficult to taste
any chlorine in treated water. There is usually less of a chlorine taste
in water treated with Aquapura Water Purification Tablets than there is
in any municipal tap water.
