Cleaning and disinfecting solution company EarthSafe is bringing its water disinfection product to the United States.
For the last three decades, EarthSafe said its Aquatabs have been the leading water disinfection product used by international relief organizations and aid agencies in developing countries with no access to clean drinking water and emergency water treatment during natural disasters.
Beyond large-scale applications, the individually packaged tablets are designed to be highly portable for travel as well as outdoor activities like backpacking, hiking, camping, boating and RVs.
“Our job is help protect public health,” said Steve Wilson, EarthSafe CEO. “Every year, communities are devastated by floods, fires, earthquakes and hurricanes. One of the most crucial necessities in almost any emergency is drinking water. Plus, with summer travel and outdoor activities in full swing, Aquatabs ensures safe drinking water is available whenever and wherever it’s needed.”
With hurricane season predicted to be higher-than-normal this year, EarthSafe created an Aquatabs Emergency Kit for retailers located in the Gulf and Atlantic Coast states to help communities prepare for oncoming storms. Providers of emergency supplies are also incorporating Aquatabs into go-bags for survivalist groups.
Aquatabs have a five-year shelf life, are iodine free and dissolve clear for great tasting drinking water in only half an hour, the company said.
