Can Aquapura Tablets be used on a long-term basis?

Yes, Aquapura Tablets can be used on a long term basis as they produce extremely safe levels of freely available chlorine that are comparable to those levels found in municipal tap water.

Is Aquapura a Medicine?

Aquapura Tablets are not Medicine. They are not meant for oral consumption and not meant to be swallowed. Aquapura Tablets produce extremely safe levels of freely available chlorine that are comparable to those levels found in municipal tap water. Hence they are safe to use even on a long term or permanent basis.

Can Aquapura Tablets cause Allergic reactions?

If used in the recommended dosage, Aquapura is very unlikely to cause any kind of allergic reactions. Aquapura should not be used by persons who are hypersensitive and/or inherently allergic to chlorine products. However, Akron Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. or Brand Aquapura take no responsibility of any allergic reaction caused to any individual after using Aquapura Tablets for any application.

Can Aquapura Water Purification Tablets be used in cloudy or extremely dirty water with high levels of organic matter and turbidity?

The more sediment and/or organic matter within the water to be treated, the more chances that bacteria, viruses and cysts will be able to “hide” from the Aquapura Tablet Solution. As excessive amounts of disinfectant react with the sediment and/or organic matter, there may not be enough disinfectant to deactivate important contaminants such as bacteria and viruses. All water to be treated with Aquapura Water Purification Tablets should be clear. Filtering suspect water through a t-shirt or filter cloth is needed.

Is Treatment of Water with Aquapura Tablets better than Boiling of Water:

Boiling water is an unsure, environmentally damaging & much more expensive method of treating water than Aquapura Tablets. Unlike water treated with Aquapura Tablets, cooled boiled water has no residual disinfectant and can be easily recontaminated.

Water needs to be boiled for a very considerable time in order to kill all potential pathogens, germs and this is very difficult to achieve. The fuel needed to boil water properly or bring it to a rolling boil may cost more than Aquapura Tablets and long-term use can damage the environment.

Also, the time period in which the water borne diseases casing bacteria and germs will grow again in boiled water is uncertain.

Is Aqupura a better method of water purification than common electric water purification systems?

Yes. Aquapura is better than common electric water purification systems for these reasons:

Water purification systems work on electricity, filtration membrane and/or ultraviolet light. The ability to kill germs via these systems is on running water and not on stored water.
Stored water has chances of becoming contaminated once again after filtration, due to Biofilms in the container vessel – therefore the use of Aquapura is recommended for disinfection & purification at point of usage for utmost safety.
Over a period of time the ultra violet bulb loses its photon power like any another bulb. This will reduce the efficacy of the system.
The ultra filter in an electric water purification system gets clogged over period of time. This clog will have biofilms and readily produce bacteria.
These issues require periodic checks in the purification system, which rarely happens. Surveys show that once installed most people do not care for maintenance. This is a major reason people suffer from sore throat and diarrhea in spite of using such water purification systems.
