Frequently Asked Questions
1. Collect water
Collect 10 liters (2.5 gallons) of water from a source such as a river, lake, or stream. The purifier works on both muddy and clear but unsafe water.
2. Add one packet
Open one P&G Purifier of Water packet and pour the entire contents into the collected water. The formula contains a flocculant and disinfectant that work together to separate dirt and reduce microorganisms.
3. Stir for 5 minutes
Stir vigorously for 5 minutes to fully activate the treatment. As you stir, dirt and particles will begin forming visible clumps called floc.
4. Let settle and filter
Allow the water to sit for at least 20 minutes until the floc settles at the bottom. Carefully pour the clear water through a clean cloth (such as a cotton T-shirt) into a separate container.
5. Water is ready
After filtering, the treated water is ready for drinking.
P&G Purifier of Water contains two primary components: a flocculant and a disinfectant. The flocculant, commonly used in water treatment processes, binds with dirt and suspended particles, causing them to clump together and settle.
The disinfectant is a chlorine-based compound that effectively kills harmful bacteria and viruses. Together, these ingredients clarify and disinfect the water, making it visibly clear and treated for use.
