Puretec TankSafe 1 litre rainwater purifier TK1000 works to kill organisms or pathogens rendering the water safe to drink, the major advantage of this is it is cost effective, easy to apply and monitor, and this remedy does not leave harmful residues, is low cost and non toxic. While most chemicals used for water disinfection are toxic (some are even known carcinogens), Puretec TankSafe will stay in your tank and keep it protected from bacteria and pathogens for up to 2 months
Why treat your tank water?
Unfortunately whilst rainwater starts out pristine it is quickly contaminated, and by the time it reaches our taps it is often unsafe to drink because micro-organisms from animal and bird droppings, decaying vegetable matter and dirt can contaminate the water. There are always low levels of bacteria in tank water and if left without treatment these levels can get out of control, you get smelly stagnant water which is unsafe to drink
How does it work?
TankSafe is composed of Hydrogen Peroxide and Silver Nitrate. Hydrogen Peroxide is a compound of Hydrogen and Oxygen, the Oxygen is what kills the harmful organisms. This means the compound breaks down into water and oxygen. The silver nitrate is well recognised for its extremely low toxicity and is used in combination as it exponentially increases the biocide effect and renders the hydrogen peroxide more stable both in storage and after the disinfection has taken place
Directions for use
Pour the required amount in your rainwater tank. Test 24 hours after dosing to ensure appropriate dosing has taken place. To check levels of protection after dosing, immerse a test strip in the treated water for 1 sec and let the strip sit for 15 sec, then compare to the colour chart indicator. To ensure continuous safety, test a minimum of every 2-3 weeks or after a significant rainfall
