Acquasafe Rainwater Tank Purifier

Acquasafe uses patented technology to kill the bacteria and viruses that are harmful to people & animals and protects your tank from recontamination for up to two months.

Acquasafe is completely non-toxic and safe to use around your family. While most chemicals used for water disinfection are toxic (some are even known carcinogens), Acquasafe breaks down into oxygen and water.

Acquasafe has been tested and endorsed in Australia for use in water treatment by the National Health & Medical Research Council and the various state & territory Health Departments.

Why Use Acquasafe?

Rainwater starts out clean, bacteria and virus free, but as soon as it hits a collecting surface like a roof top, dangerous bacteria can enter the water. Animal and bird droppings, dust, dirt and decaying vegetable matter like leaves can contaminate rainwater. Each of these sources of contamination can lead to dangerous bacteria entering your water supply, like E. coli and streptococci.

Acquasafe is Effective
Acquasafe has been subjected to more than 170 extensive tests done in well-known institutes all over the world and is proven to kill over 60 different germs, bacteria, viruses, amoeba, biofilms and other pathogens. Acquasafe works in a two stage process - by oxidising all germs immediately and then leaving a residual to ensure the water stays clean.

Long Lasting
Acquasafe protects water for up to two months under normal conditions, which means clean water longer. Chlorine based disinfectants will only disinfect your water for as little as a few hours (or at most a couple of days) and after that your water will be open to recontamination, not too mention the presence of the ‘chlorine’ taste and smell. Using Acquasafe will cut down the number of times the rainwater tank has to be dosed from every week to once every two months and will leave no taste or smell. The long lasting action ensures that the water is disinfected right up until the point of use.

Cost Effective
A single litre of Acquasafe can protect 10,000L of water from contamination for two months under normal conditions. That means that a single drop of Acquasafe could sanitise almost 41/2 glasses of water! If you break it down, the cost of protecting your water with Acquasafe is very low.

Environmentally and Family Safe
Acquasafe is family and environmentally safe because it sanitises water and in doing so breaks down into oxygen and water. Some other sanitises leave harmful chemical residues while others even leave known carcinogens in the water.

Improves Water Quality
Studies have shown that out of 41 household water tanks tested in Australia over 29% had more than allowable amounts of coniform bacteria and 15% had more than allowable amounts of E. Coli under World Health Organisation guidelines.

Improves Health
Not only is Acquasafe safe to drink, it also improves health. Many of the upset stomachs we get in our lives are caused by bacteria entering our body from sources we think are safe. Adding Acquasafe to the water will ensure it is reliably safe to drink and consumers should see a reduction in the number of times their family get sick.

Improves Water Taste
Acquasafe is colourless, odourless and tasteless. Your water will be clean without the negative side effects of chlorine based disinfectants. More than that, Acquasafe will kill the bacteria responsible for bad tasting and smelling water. Rainwater, carted water and water that is pumped up from bores and dams can all have a bad taste and odour.
