WARNING
Do not use seawater. MIOX does not make drinkable water out of salty or
brackish water. Choose cleanest water available. Avoid water sources with high
levels of chemical contamination, such as mining tailing ponds and sources near
large agricultural operations. MIOX does not effectively reduce heavy metals or
high levels of chemical contamination. Know how to effectively use this product to
create clean, drinkable water.
WARNING
Do not wait more than 15 seconds to read the strip or the color may fade.
Do not reuse the test strips if they have turned purple.
WARNING
Do not touch your eyes while using the purifier. MIOX creates a chemical oxidant
that can damage your eyes. The same oxidant can also irritate skin and perma-
nently stain clothing. Keep at least 12 inches (30 cm) away from your face and
clothing during Step 4. Rinse purifier and hands after use.
Also, see
First Aid.
WARNING
Wait the full appropriate treatment time. Do not add more water to the container
after the treatment process. Adding water after this step will dilute the strength of
the treatment solution and increase the risk of contamination. Do not add drink
mixes to treated water before treatment time is complete or treatment process may
stop. To prevent drinking any contaminated water, the threads on the container
and the cap must be rinsed with treated water.
