FAQs

Have Questions?

What is the active ingredient in Aquatabs tablets?

Aquatabs tablets contain NaDCC, a stable ingredient that delivers an accurate dose of chlorine to create safe water and a reserve to keep water safe.

NaDCC is a common abbreviation of sodium dichloroisocyanurate. Na is the chemical symbol for Sodium. NaDCC can also be called Troclosene sodium and Sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione.

Troclosene sodium is an alternative name for NaDCC, the active ingredient in Aquatabs tablets.

In a closed container, Aquatabs will continue to protect from the pathogens for at least 24 hours by releasing more chlorine when required.

There is no significant difference in performance in making water safe. The choice is one of the volume of water to be treated and the type of water supply available. Check out our product pages for more guidance.

We have a global network of stockists who can provide Aquatabs products locally. Contact us and tell us where you are, and we will provide the details.

Aquatabs are incredibly effective in killing the bacteria responsible for cholera. Independent studies and ongoing performance checks validate that we kill 99.9999%* of vibrio cholerae in water.

* Tested as per US EPA water purifier challenge test.

The Aquatabs InLine and Aquatabs Flo use TCCA, also known as trichloroisocyanuric acid or symclosene, to provide a stronger disinfection dose to kill pathogens instantly. As a weak acid, TCCA delivers the most effective chlorine-based disinfection—hypochlorous acid.

Log refers to a scale based on an order of magnitude of 10-fold. Reducing the number of bacteria present by 1-log means killing 90% of those present, as only 10% or 1 in 10 remain. Aquatabs will deliver 6-log reduction for many bacteria (killing 99.9999% of those present).

Aquatabs kill microorganisms in water to prevent cholera, typhoid, dysentery, and other water-borne diseases. In non-turbid water, they reduce bacteria by 99.9999%*, viruses by 99.99%, and cysts (Giardia) by 99.9% within 30 minutes.

Aquatabs are formulated using the highest food grade NaDCC. NaDCC’s fast-acting, powerful chemistry dissolves in water to release hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and monosodiumcyanurate (a non-toxic, biodegradable compound) HOCl is the biocidal agent responsible for killing microorganisms Undissociated HOCl is 100 times more powerful than the dissociated components Why Is HOCl 100 Times More Powerful?
  • HOCl has a similar chemical structure to water (HOH)
  • It is similar in size, and it is electrically neutral
  • These factors enable it to penetrate the cell wall in a similar way to water
  • Destroying the proteins and enzyme systems, inactivating microorganisms
