FACTS
Micropur
Forte disinfects clear water quickly and safely keeping it germ-free for
up to 6 months
Due
to the strong oxidizing power of chlorine, most protozoa and fungi are
eliminated as well as bacteria and viruses
Micropur
Forte can be used wherever microbiologically unsafe water for drinking,
cooking and washing needs to be disinfected.
It
is also ideal for conserving water in water tanks, water baths, air conditioning
systems, heating systems, humidifiers, wells, incubators and more
For
clear, not for cloudy water as suspended matter can weaken the effect
of chlorine and silver ions.
Use
Katadyn Filter for cloudy water.

USE
Micropur Tablets
Use one Micropur Forte tablet for one litre of clear water; wait 10 minutes
until the tablet has dissolved; shake well; wait another 20 minutes before
using the water.
Micropur liquid
Put the appropriate amount of Micropur forte into the empty or half full
water container (only clear water!). Immediately fill the container with
the required amount of clear water. The turbulence which occurs when you
fill the container helps mix the Micropur and the water. Additional stirring
is not necessary. If Micropur is added to the container after it has been
filled, the water has to be stirred so that the active substances are
distributed evenly. Let it take effect (30
to 120 minutes).
Further tips:
If
the water is very cold or you are concerned about the possible presence
of Giardia cysts in the water, only drink after two hours.
The
maximum amount of silver in the drinking water is 0.08 mg/l and is not
exceeded once Micropur Forte has taken full effect.
Use
Mircopur Antichlorine to neutralise the (slight) taste of chlorine.
