POLAR PURE Water Disinfectant uses pure crystallized iodine in a unique delivery system to destroy water-borne pathogens including giardia cysts and micro-organisms that pass through filters.
When used as directed, approximately 300 ppm (parts per million) saturated iodine solution is maintained in the POLAR PURE bottle. This saturated solution is then used to disinfect your water at an optimal concentration of 4-5 ppm iodine which will destroy Giardia cysts in 20-30 minutes in a closed quart / liter bottle of 68° F, 20° C water (colder water will take longer).
Saturation concentration varies with solution temperature. A Liquid Crystal Dosage Chart on the POLAR PURE bottle shows how many capfuls of saturated solution to add to one liter or quart of water to achieve a 4 ppm solution in your water bottle.
